G. pulchra. Chubby is kind of a given. Where my other species grow their legs when they molt my g. pulchras just somehow only grow their booties.

I love that profile pic @HeartBum looks just like my old male. Such a cool little species, tho. At just over 1" full grown they are certainly the smallest Theraphosidae I have raised.

Adult female


Adult male (same specimen in @HeartBum's profile pic)


Pairing of those two...(Cyriocosmus spp. hook up typically like this for hours during mating. They were in this "cant find the hole" position for over an hour. Lol)


Juvenile


Sling (on a DVD)

This is honestly the species that made me fall in love with the hobby. @CEC

I have two slings here from August '20... I think they are just getting into their second instar, they haven't left their hiding place for 7 days. Can't wait to see them in their new "dresses"!

And here they are!

...but just one dressed up

I like to think my photography has improved

Revisiting this thread actually got me quite emotional! It’s astonishing to see how much everyone has changed in a year.

They are what made me fall in love with the idea of keeping, however, I would say my current favourite is my P. sp. "platyomma". But don't tell the others.
