Bugmom's Tarantulas

[Bugmom]

Mine is the same way...hair-flicking little monster that attacks anything entering her enclosure. Funny enough, after I had her rehoused, she seems to resort to hair-flicking only now - didn't get an attack from her ever since then.

I knew they tended to be more defensive, but geez, this one thinks urticating hairs are confetti and we're having a party! Yaaaaaay!

Or not.

That's why I leave mine as much in peace as possible. I do see her most of the time anyways, since she rarely hides after her enclosure was upgraded. You description fits mine, too. Might have to make a sticker "Warning - party T - flicks hair like confetti!"

New Avics!!!! Yaaaaay! They are all named after cannons, in honor of their weapon of choice :laugh:

And one of my A. geniculata cause why not.

She's been in this position for the last 8 1/2 hours. I've given up on trying to figure out why she does anything that she does.

Has your LP ever stopped being so active? haha mine was like yours for a while now he has barricaded himself with only two small tunnels from his hide for air. I wished he would stop bolting ect now I wish he never stopped xD be careful what you wish for.

Great pictures by the way!

PS - You and Storm have both done this... showing an A.versicolor on the same page as my post. This is strictly forbidden

My LP is still really active, but burrow less now. She mostly hangs out under a leaf.

I expect her to be bigger when I return from vacation, too, as she's in premolt (bald spot on butt is turning black. Yay!)

My freshly molted Acanthoscurria geniculata female, looking fine as always!

 

[Storm76]

Lovely geni!

"But I'm a poeci! I swear!"

My A. avic sling a couple days ago, ready to molt any day now. Did you hear me, Bombard? I said "any day now!" .... yeah I'm still waiting.

Silly genic!
Pokie yoga?

Your guess is as good as mine. A few days ago I found her lying on her side, all four legs on the bottom side crumpled under her, leaning up against her log. I thought she was dying. Nope. Just layin' around. Literally.

My Rosie used to do strange poses like that.

Probably grooming My geni does that kinda stuff after eating. She goes as fas as using the corkbark top of her burrow as a "bank" to lean on

Well, they win award for "laziest grooming style" then lol

Avicularia diversipes sling, "Saker" around 1.5" DLS now after a molt earlier in the week.

Brachypelma vagans juvie "Spider Steve," looking raggedly and suspiciously like it's ready to molt soon. Hoping to get a sex off that molt.

More Ethel, since she's the only one interested in hanging out where I can see her easily.

She's also the only one that does the "Happy Dance" when I feed her.
