LOL,
Little Zool has the electric blue legs and is looking absolutely gorge!
Her name can be read three ways: as in Azul, like the color blue; Azula, my favorite ATLA character; or Zul, the Babylonian demon that changed into the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man in uptown Manhattan. Ghost Busters was the first movie I saw in theater, lol.
I definitely should have gained more experience before buying an OW species, but I'm enjoying keeping her. She's been a sweet and docile girl. I leave her to her spider stuff and she leaves me to my human stuff. I did have to remove the lid to fish out a rotting bolus on Monday. She was in one of her hides, with the door closed, so I went for it. It took me half-an-hour to confirm her location in hide #1, remove some of her web tunnels that connect the two sections of cork, dig out a corner of the enclosure, find the bolus, and tidy everything up.
I think she's a little pissed because I haven't seen her since, but she was being less visible for some reason. Usually she spends the day (and night) looking like a crashed out drunk, draped across a little vertical round of cork that she loves to hang out in. She ate like a champ when I first acquired her five weeks ago, but her abdomen is pretty plump and she appears to be fasting or maybe entering premolt.
Meanwhile, my sweet little Pulchra is also in heavy premolt and I'm getting an Avicularia Jurensis M2 (Peru Purple) on the weekend. I've decided to stop collecting spiders for now and focus on the girls I've got, lol. I've got beautiful adult Tarantula Crib enclosures for each one of them, so my first priority is getting them old enough to use them, even if there are SO many cool spiders to choose from. I think four is a good number for now. It gives me plenty of variety without being overwhelming.
This spicy girl does change the equation a bit, though. She's already about 4" dls, so I may move her to a large slider soon to give us both lots of space. Her temperament has been very chill and I feel glad I have her despite her OW reputation.
