Are you sure its a blondi? Looks more like a T stirmi for me (no hairs on the knees)..

I posted before I even brought it home, I was in a hurry lol. He sold it as a blondi but for the price, I couldn't resist. It's definitely a stirmi! I've let him know.
Great choice! Fast will find a new meaning for you.
Beautiful spiders! Just the name is worth every cent. Looking forward to see the updates

They were quite chill during the rehouse comparing to my H.mac’s, I remember as it was yesterday the moment as one of the slings decided to take a hike on my arm as I tried to introduce her to her new enclosure.. luckily she turned back and took a hide just there where I wanted, but it happened so fast I had no chance to say a thing.Great choice!

This one on the picture was quite defensive though, stood her(?) ground relentlessly so I had to move her(?) along with a chunk of substrate, using a tea-spoon. The other one was much more cooperative.
I really like the name too! (Almost as cool as Haploclastus devamatha.)
I heard that they are not as reclusive as other fossorials so lets hope I will be able to take more shots in the not so far future.

I picked up this pretty girl yesterday(C. marshalli). Already webbing like crazy. She'd been at the pet store for over a year and I decided to give her a home.

I usually try not to "rescue" Ts from places where they're kept poorly, since it just supports that business. But in this case, this spider had been there since I moved to this area last August and someone at work had given me a gift card, so I decided to take her home. The conditions that she was kept in were terrible. A half inch of substrate in a tiny critter keeper with crickets crawling all over her. There were dead crickets that had been in there for months so the container reeked. In the area where I live, big name pet stores actually take better care of their animals than this mom and pop pet store does. Anyway, she's already webbing a ton and she'll hopefully make a burrow soon! I haven't picked out a name for her yet, so suggestions are welcome!I love the thought of pet shop rescues

Today I received two new slings from Fear Not Tarantulas: a Theraphosinae sp. "Panama" and a Kochiana brunnipes, the latter of which is the smallest sling I've ever had.
I plan to rehouse them into smaller enclosures, as the ones I prepared are oversized, especially for the tiny Kochiana brunnipes.
I adored "Miss Hissypants" and was really sad to lose her last year.

Four years ago, I got a mature female marshalli that had obviously been living in a cramped deli cup for some time. She hissed at me when I prodded her out into her new enclosure, but she sure seemed happier, as she dug all the way down to the bottom.

Located a male T stirmi, for my suspect female!
Also a P. Gigas who tried to bolt during the rehouse, and scared my rehouse buddy pretty badly.

Yesterday at Repticon, I traded my mature male Poecilotheria regalis (from cold blood) for a juvenile Grammostola grossa. (The Pokie has a harem of 19 females waiting for him!)
I also picked up a Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens sling, as I enjoyed keeping the last one I had (before he died in a failed molt).

That wasn't part of the deal, but I did let them know that I would be interested in a sling or two.
