Hi all! I'm very happy to actually belong to this community now. I researched for MONTHS before I bought my tarantula -- it was between B. Smithii, B. Abopilosum, or G. Pulchra. I went with the last because the breeder didn't have many left and I knew that sometimes they were hard to find. So, here's my little 1 inch baby. His name is Faust.
Can you see the cricket in his mouth? It's a bit blurry because it's a freeze frame from a video (my mother, who is terrified of spiders, heard that he was a "baby" and asked me to send her a video of him right away! Awww.)
I made a starter burrow for him towards the middle of his new home, but he wasn't having it and decided to make his own right next to the plastic. His idea is much better, I can see him in his little burrow now!
