Great time for an update, yeah?
Halloween has always been my favorite time of year and now it's made even better! I just came home from work to find that my new A. avicularia, Arachnia, has finally started building her webby lair! I'm so happy, 'cause she's my first tarantula and I'm such an anxious spider-parent. Even when it's clear that I have nothing to worry about. She eats well when I hand her food and she comes down to drink from the bowl (I never actually SEEN her drink but her little footie-prints shows it all!). She's very calm, unfazed even when I open the enclosure to refill the water bowl, and she even gave me the honor of watching her groom. So cute!
Now that she's started building her nest, I can rest assured that she's doing great. I'll leave her to it, and won't disturb her while it's under construction. What an amazing start to such an awesome holiday.
