I finally got my tattoo! The photo I used for it was the post above and here are some pictures of the tattoo of P. subfusca highland that I got! I think it came out beautifully and I'm ecstatic about it.

I just find it funny how many users indulge in the green goodness haha glad to know I'm not alone there (had my medical card for years and now its even recreationally legal in Michigan for those 21+). I normally don't smoke in the same room as my inverts, but there has been occasions where I...

Just scheduled my tattoo appointment for September 18th!! Getting a P. subfusca highland tattoo, here’s the photo I’m using. My tattoo artist I found specializes in photorealistic tattoos. The only difference between my tatt in the photo is I’m going to have him add a tad more purple highlights...

Yea that's extremely small, I'm sorry for your loss! My guess is he/she probably was in rough shape to begin with. When I got my sling it was probably 3/4 of an inch or maybe even a full inch. Ate always and never had any problems with her. Despite the lightening speed, rehouses have been a...

I've only had one in my experience, but raised her up from a sling to adulthood (she's a little over 3 years old currently). I kept mine bone dry except for a water dish. As a sling she had a bottle cap water dish and right now its a little deli cup. Other than that, I kept it entirely dry just...

Oh it was terrible, he had the Pamphobeteus sp. on wood chips essentially!! Don’t worry, that wasn’t their new substrate or homes, with their new substrate they were all given coco fiber with plenty of depth to burrow their hearts out and they were given actual enclosures to make home, not dinky...

He had them in these smaller enclosures, I believe he was trying to make it seem as if he just had them in there temporarily to sell to me, because when I agreed to purchase these he said “I’ll even throw in their enclosures with them”. Then when I got there and was looking them over he said “I...

Yea, I figured it would be nearly impossible to ID based off photos alone. This specimen is a juvie still, about 3 or 3.5 inches so maybe it’ll be more distinguishable upon maturity. Either way, I don’t plan on breeding I was more so just curious as to what I picked up!

Today I made a craigslist haul, a risky one at that. The particular individual I was dealing with was very novice in that he only knew what he had based off the common name and that's it. I ended up acquiring a 3 inch Pampho sp. that I'm assuming to be machala because of the common name "purple...

Picked this up today off craiglist, guy only knew the common name: "purple starburst bird eater". That name comes up as P. sp machala but would like to make sure.

I'm posting this because unfortunately, I had a death tonight. My C. fimbriatus has bit the dust sadly, one of my favorite tarantulas. I knew it was a male as last molt I believe it matured as the carapace darkened to near black, abdomen looked smaller, etc. He was 4 inches or so, and after that...

I have a P. subfusca highland juvie that I'm getting ready to re-house into what I want to be his or her adult enclosure. I've read mixed things about these guys and their size though. I know generally pokies are pretty lengthy and big for arboreals, but I've also read that the subfusca highland...

Made contact with the seller! They offered me a refund for the muticus, or I can still get it, it just might take a couple more weeks due to their shipping schedule. Of course, I'm electing to still receive the muticus because I was looking forward to raising one and having one in my...

I ordered a P. muticus, but received a P. murinus. I know it was a simple mistake and I've already contacted the seller (seller has not gotten back with me yet at the moment), but do they normally have you ship the wrong t back? I haven't shipped tarantulas yet and I don't know how comfortable I...

Noted, I'll make sure to have it nice and deep. And this is true, although with the fossorial you have the luxury of extending that length out a bit which makes it easier to stack or fit on a shelf. You could do that a longer tank with arboreals, but they don't often design their enclosures that...

So I really had to take advantage of the cyber Monday sales going on. I purchased a B. boehmei because I figured I was missing a brachy for my collection, and to me it's one of the more stunning brachys. Now I wanted to keep my OW:NW ratio balanced and even so I ended up going with a P. muticus...

They are capable of all the aforementioned behaviors, I personally gave my girl enough room and space to do as she pleases. Deep substrate to burrow, but still with a lot of height and cork bark for webbing points. She's chosen to create a den, almost funnel like, underneath a section of cork...

I've always had a passion for animals, ever since I can remember. Specifically, the misunderstood ones that, to me, were amazing and my favorites (spiders, snakes, scorpions, sharks, etc.). I started keeping pets at a young age as my parents helped me and I was also responsible, I think I got my...
