Derpy Tarantula Picture Thread

[ladyratri]

Apparently my spider room likes to derp all at once.

Psalmopoeus derpinia "Spunk" was out last night in all its "leggy gawky teenager" glory.

When I dared to look, it froze like this for about two minutes:


Then got back to working on the front porch:

Paused several times mid-derp. Just for good measure.



The moral of the story is: Don't touch my water dish, arboreal edition.

Ya know, it looks like what my versi did, making a web tunnel directly into the water dish. I wonder if that is for an increased humidity spot..?

Nope, it's not a tunnel into the dish -- it webbed over the top and blocked the dish. There are two hunting openings though. And the dish was dry for at least a few days when it started this construction project.

No clever excuses, this one's just a derp

"Luckily" that wasn't even the spot I had planned for the water dish anyway I'll give it a new one... It was time for a full size water dish regardless.

Edit: also amusing are the bits of old molt legs mixed in

My irminia has a bit of leg in her abandoned side escape tunnel, too!

Just hanging from the ceiling here. Nope, not molting, just too big to hold my butt up.

Excuse you, I’m getting in the bath!

A glorious side view of my versi's ridiculous front mohawk floof. You're welcome.

Ursula my pamphobeteus ultramarinus decided after putting sub in her water that her dish looked like a tyre and sat in it for a good 20 minutes like she was going down a lazy river ride

She hid under it as soon as I started taking pics of her in her new outfit, apparently her foot was super interesting

Eve, Citharacanthus cyaneus juvenile female, spent a good 20 minutes digging upside-down like that.... not sure why she had to do it upside-down but apparently she did
