This is Herrah (aka The Beast), a juvenile b. albopilosum! She's about 3" long, and an absolute delight to watch. I'm very excited to have her in my fuzzy little family (I have a kitty and I raise silkworms/silkmoths so I'm surrounded by soft, silky friends)


She seems to enjoy hanging out in her water dish!

Good luck with it

Congrats and welcome to the hobby. If you haven't yet, please read this thread, it's chock full of really great info for new T keepers: https://arachnoboards.com/threads/tarantula-information-for-beginners-and-more.318718/

Second, while I commend your use of the scientific name, the entire brachypelma genus was recently reorganized with several species, including this one, being moved to a new genus, "Tliltocatl", so your specimen is now "T. albopilosum" (though I think there's still ongoing discussion about a further change to "T. albopilosus" or such... )

Nice enclosure. As long as your not dressing it up And cuddling with it you will be ok.
