Barrel the Birdeater
It’s been a year since I brought Barrel home from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. He came to me to live out his final days and I truly didn’t expect him to last a year. The life span of a male tarantula is about about 5-6 years. He has now exceed that. Every day I get a ping of anxiety knowing today could be the day but lucky for me, he’s still here.
Barrel is a salmon pink birdeater, one of the largest species of tarantula in the world.
This is the first time I’ve witnessed, and got footage, of any of my T’s drinking water.

These are the moments I’m glad we trained. I’m glad I was repetitive. I’m glad he has passed this spot hundreds of times and knows to walk on the far side of the path away from the feral, yet friendly, cats who live and eat here. Today, I’m glad our training paid off…

The morning after the first rain of the year.
It stayed dry!!
The coop, and area I lock them in at night, stayed dry through the storm. You would have to own outdoor animals to know this happiness. 😁😂
