Mine was a mature female Avicularia avicularia that my mother (who hates spiders) gave me for my birthday in 2013. The previous owner had her set up terrestrially, with a log laid horizontally on the substrate. She also told my mom that the tarantula was seven years old and "likes to be petted." (My mom seemed kind of disappointed that I would not continue petting her.)So I’m curious to know different peoples first T! I know most first T’s are a B. hamorii, G. rosea, B. albipilosum, GBB, etc. but feel free to tell a funny story about your first tarantula.
That is the "happy dance." She is wrapping her prey in silk. (If you look closely, you will see silk coming out of the spinnerets, which she will step over as she turns.)I call her pinkie and she cracks me up every time I feed her. As soon as she feels the cricket moving at the end of my tongs, she jumps on the tongs and takes the cricket then gets onto the side of her cage where she proceeds to spin around in circles with it. I have no idea what she is trying to accomplish but it's funny to watch.
OMG That is hilariously great!!! I love it!! I'll have to watch a little closer next time I feed her, I love watching her spin!That is the "happy dance." She is wrapping her prey in silk. (If you look closely, you will see silk coming out of the spinnerets, which she will step over as she turns.)
If you're happy and you know it, spin around!

Rook the brachepelma albopilosum 0.5" and I think it's gone into pre molt for the first timeSo I’m curious to know different peoples first T! I know most first T’s are a B. hamorii, G. rosea, B. albipilosum, GBB, etc. but feel free to tell a funny story about your first tarantula. Or if there’s people like me who have had a weird first tarantula that isn’t a common beginner species? My first T was a Hapelopelma minax. I got her about 2 years ago and she’s about 3-4” now.
