Figured I’d start a thread that I can continually use for updates on my Ts instead of making new thread every time unless needed. Hope y’all enjoy! Feel free to comment and add advice etc as needed! Cheers!

New additions came in from Jamie’s Ts today. Absolutely stunning slings. High quality. Here is unboxing video and a couple first pics.

C. Versicolor


B. Cabocla


H. Pulchripes


D. Diamantinensis (sorry for crappy pic!)


B. Albopilosum



A. Avicularia (M6 WC)

Finally found enclosure suits me for my larger Avic. Avic. m6. It’s in that in between stage where full grown enclosure too big and 32oz is too small.

M. Balfouri Juvie.

Went to my local pet shop that I used to be the reptile keeper at many years ago for fish food and dog food. Of course I couldn’t help myself and had to go see if they had anything to “look at.” They have always maintained an amazing selection of arachnids and reptiles in general. Not to mention they have kept me on the employee discount status since I worked there (over 12 years). I saw this beautiful M. Balfouri Juvie, asked what my price would be and couldn’t pass up the deal....

Just rehoused into new enclosure.

I added another inch of substrate after seeing I was a bit short in my estimates after T was in enclosure.

You have the prettiest versicolor I've ever seen. Mine died recently so I'm jealous, props on the spider.

 

[docwade87]

Thank you. They are even more stunning as adults. Sorry to hear about yours.

M. Balfouri molt just started. @Liquifin you were right on the money! I looked back at pics from when I first got it a week ago and legs are definitely darker and the abdomen is just as round! Can’t wait to see the new outfit!

New Addition:

Psalmopoeus Irminia

Had my eyes on these for a bit. Decided to get one. During rehousing, it definitely stood it’s ground and I could see the potential speed. Intimidating yet beautiful. So glad I added a Psalmopoeus sp. to the collection!

Did you feed this little thing? I feel like it would have taken prey as soon as it was inside the container (or before).
