i love my t's colorful (i mean, look, my first t after leaving the hobby is a a.purpurea) but i still cant really fathom the obsession with obts. i never thought of orange as a popular color in general so it sort of perplexes me as to why people want this specific species so much. i guess its...

lovely tattoo! glad you conquered your fear :D tarantulas arent so scary once you get to know them. (at least the new worlds imo)

haha! love the adorable smily faces on the packaging. very cute. also i couldnt have been the only one who thought "smaragd" was a typo initially. congrats on your new tarantulas! heres to hoping your slings found a good parent!

oh wow, that does sound super stressful! do you ever find out the after math of housing the two together?

aww how precious! looking at them reminds me of my b. albopilosum's baby pictures. except she was way tubbier than your slings! wonderful choice and im glad they had a safe journey to a wonderful new home!

funny enough, i always told myself if i ever get a versicolor, id name them "melted gushers" because their colors always reminded me of what happens when you go out in the arizona sun and eat fruit snacks, haha

it was pretty bad! the t kept chasing after me and no matter where i went, she followed while jumping! for a while the dreams about angry and loose t's were so frequent i felt as if i were beginning to develope a bit of arachnophobia myself. once i got into tarantula keeping again, the fear...

for some odd reason, at least once or twice a month, im struck with dreams of tarantulas! unfortunately theyre never the good kind and i always dream of situations where one gets loose or tries to attack me. even recently i had one about a b. emilia that was "jumping" (yes jumping, and a very...

i have several mental illnesses and as expected, i get exhausted extremely fast. emotionally AND physically. a lot of the time i cant really be left alone with nothing to do or think about because my mind is pretty much cluttered to the brim with bad thoughts. while in a way, im fueling the...

hi! love your icon! parsee is one of my fav th characters. my bro used to also have a tarantula named peach. it was a sad day when she died. i name my tarantulas all the time! my b.albopilosum is named annie because of her curly hair. i have an a.purpurea named ursula since she will be purple...

well i suppose its better than being rash. and youre right, its my responsibility to know every little thing about these guys and how to keep calm. i'm glad i at least had my eye on an easier OW gal than say something like, an OBT. thank you for your advice!

thank you for the advice! i was thinking since i had such a big fear, i felt i would end up making a grave mistake eventually. perhaps someday, i would get it, but i do certainly have a lot to learn. the bad method is a helpful method though, so thank you for suggesting it!

aaaah what a beauty :D and yeah, calling them a weenie wasn't my brightest move hehe. if anything, im actually the biggest weenie. anyways, thank you for opening my eyes on this! ive also been fearing the event of having to move her to another enclosure, so as much as i adore their silly little...

i'll definitely keep this in mind. thank you for putting it into perspective.

thank you for the pictures! i will definitely use these as references when the time comes and i have enough experience to determine myself strong enough to conquer this tiny beast! but reading these posts. i think my time would be quite a while from now ^^;

aaa thank you so much for the detailed response! my brother himself owns a h.gigas and he reassured me obligate burrowers tend to stay in their own homes because they are in fact, very big weenies. i still couldn't help but come to the worst conclusions in my head, hehe. kind of odd i never...

this is such a cute thread. nice molt btw!! happy birthday lizzie, and happy molting to your baby!

ah yes, the traditional "should i get an ow t?" question. for a while ive promised myself not to get these guys because i tend to be skittish and i'm scared of their bites but...i cant help but deeply admire the c. marshalli because of their "horn" (looks like an emo party hat to me imao) now...

tarantulas are ungrateful babies and tend to bury their water cups for some dumb reason

i know im new here but i declare this, hands down, to be the best thread on the site
