3 3/4" sling rehouses, this little darlingi gave me 3 laps around and up the sides of the rehouse bin before finally finding his starter burrow.

Successful week! Now to relax.

Amazing shame my Haitian brown were both males I gotta get more someday . We’re did you find that acrylic container??

Had a call last night from landlords across town, apparently tenants left 10 or 11 tarantulas behind. 6 were alive. One T. albo sling was nowhere to be found, but a fly carcass was present.... he threw in a housefly which snacked on the 1/4 inch sling?

Anyway.... pics after doing a few rehouses!

Chilobrachys, the only one labeled.... was labeled guangxiensis but maybe a huahini? Im not sure.

Unfortunately for the 4-5 dead.... the owner had left months ago, so the tenants did nothing with the tarantulas. No water or feeding, and kept them in a shelf in a closet. The landlords called and notified a pet store in town who notified me, and they were very concerned about the situation. They were kept with very little substrate and since taking the pictures, all have been rehoused!

sucks so many died , wish I knew how to find free rescue Ts . Hopefully there way better off in your care real shame the baby t got eaten by a fly . That’s just terrible .

Walmart! Extra tall acrylic shoe box over near the laundry baskets. I added baby locks.

A friend works at a pet store in town, they had gone in to ask for crickets and had some questions so she gave them my number! They were great people.

I searched for the t. albo in the 50 dram vial for over a half an hour swiping coco fiber around, but had already found the fly's head and feared the worst. I found a 1/4 inch molt.

P. victori for @l4nsky
I'm seeing male. The molt is an inch and 3/8ths. I will definitely be checking next molt to know for sure.

At least they are in capable hands now. That's chilobracy looks very similar to haninin. Some of the very first ow asian spider's I worked with and kept. Never kept the.... Yeah not even going to try and spell that one out so who knows?

Good to see you back around. Hadn't seen anything lately and I was am always hoping your doing well.

Less than 1/8". Found wrapped in the same paper towel while unpacking an H. dev that was much larger. Unplanned H. devamatha sling? Doesnt look like it to me but who knows.
