Two tarantulas arrived, and arrived well.

• Brachypelma emilia
• Ephebopus cyanognathus

They are just so small, and I love the way they are.

Homoeomma chilense decided to molt, but with a little twist.

It’s still on it’s way to get it’s new body out of the old self.




But what can I say, it knows exactly what it’s doing, and I support it 100%.

Resepct.

Today, I decided to give 0.1 Psalmopoeus irminia a bit more room to be around and more. With much of extra room, feeding process will probably be trickier than before.

That emilia is so tiny at least you won't have to rehouse her() for years
And just as a little tip if you give your ephebopus some leaf litter n moss they will incorporate it into their web turret mine did .

0.0.1 Megaphobema robustum, very recently molted on 04/23/2024, was rehoused into much larger with much depth to burrow if it’s willing.



I find it this species, well at least the one I am keeping, really loves to dig, and to burrow.

In this enclosure, it will probably stay for another three or molts.

I acquired 0.1.0 Pamphobeteus chinche on 08/17/2023. I did not know when it was it’s last molt, but it never once refused to eat so far.

Today, I saw this, and got very excited.





While I was at work, it put down web mats, and my good guess would be, it’s about time for it to molt finally.

Hopefully within a couple of days. I can’t wait to see it molt successfully, get harden, and to eat again.

Here it is, in about five hours later.

Eupalaestrus weijenberghi is almost finished molting. It was surprising to see it molting just in two months, while the last molt took five months.

1.0 Pamphobeteus solaris is currently molting.





Hopefully with this molt, it will be matured and ready to be sent out to a female for breeding.

Back in October of last year, Pelinobius muticus was rehoused into a cereal container enclosure. Then it molted two months after. Since then it stayed in it till now.







Today, I sort of decided to rehouse it into an enclosure, that is going to be, maybe the permanent, if not the one just before it.







Once it decides where to burrow and start excavating, then I will put a water dish in. For now, I will just let it freely roam around everywhere without any obstruction.

You mean you don't want to try and find where the water dish got buried?
