Just thought I would make a thread with some pictures of my lot. Currently I have a Psalmopoeus Cambridgei, Grammostola Pulchra, Tliltocatl Vagas, Davus Pentaloris, Avicularia Versicolor, Brachypelma Smithi, and Aphonopelma moderatum. Thanks for looking!
Psalmopoeus Cambridgei. My favorite girl.
Davus Pentaloris. I almost never see this guy. But I seem to have more pictures of him than my other spiders. I think because on the rare opportunities that he is out, I make the most of them!
Brachypelma Smithi. This one isn't shy at all. I can always count on finding her out and about. But true to her species, she's quick to flick, so I make sure to give her space.
Avicularia Versicolor: Me asking this pretty girl to please go into her new enclosure. Don't ask how it got to this point. This was me trying to salvage an awkward situation.
Fortunately, she's one of my more laid-back tarantulas, and after I gave her a break to take this picture, I was able to guide her to going in instead of bolting.
Avicularia Versicolor. I think this was her way of trolling me. Clearly, she decided anchor points are for scrubs, and instead picked the one spot where she could effectively web both the lid and the front opening door shut, at the same time.
Grammostola Pulchra. My gentle (not yet) giant. I still have a hard time getting my head around the fact that this little one will someday be as big as my hand. Even as a juvenile he is very chill. He's quick to bolt for cover if he's startled, but even when I mistakenly thought he had died (I mistook post molt curled as a death curl), and uncovered his burrow, he didn't so much as flick a hair at me. Just kind of meandered away.
Davus Pentaloris. I'm much more likely to catch silhouettes of this guy than to catch him out in the open.
Aphonopelma moderatum. This is another one I don't get to see very often. He's a voracious eater after molting, but then goes back to being scarce. I always look forward to his periods of activity.
Davus Pentaloris: I never miss a chance to snap a photo of him when I'm lucky enough to catch him out and about.

First picture is from when I first got it.
