Verdugo (1.0 L. klugi) was out and about earlier today.

Anastasia (0.1 G. porteri) is so pink and fluffy. It warms my heart every time I see her.

Grizzly (0.1 T. albo) looking sharp after a recent molt.

 

[Westicles]

This is the first time I've been able to get a decent photo of her. She's very quick and skittish, retreating at the slightest disturbance. Meet Tigerlily, P. vittata. True to their common name, she's almost ghostly looking. View attachment 418978

Gorgeous!

Kipling (1.0) P. ornata. His camouflage is amazing! He's a skittish little guy, but comes out regularly at night to hunt. His sacmate, Mowgli, is one molt ahead of him.

 

[Murnau]

Female Lasiodora parahybana just after being rehoused. She's a very massive specimen

This tiny little guy/ gal (E. cyanognathus) arrived in the mail about 2 weeks ago. Less than an inch DLS, but so pretty!

Matilda (0.1 P. antinous) out and about tonight after molting about a month ago. She gained a huge amount of size and has an insatiable appetite. She's going to be a BIG girl as an adult.

Prisca (0.1 T. stirmi) was also very active today. I was able to get some neat shots of her massive fangs since at one point she was up against the glass. She's quite skittish and shy whenever I'm doing maintenance, but won't hesitate to take down larger prey. They are such beautiful animals and efficient predators. Now that temperatures are really warming up, she's getting hungry.

Crawlspace came out in the middle of the day to hunt, after she heard the rustling of a cricket! Food obsessed. She's definitely one of my favorites.

Meet Graham Grammostola ( G. pulchripes). When I got him a few years ago he was a 2i sling that was almost dead from dehydration due to neglect at a pet store. He was in a dram vial with no substrate, food, or water. I knew that if I didn't take him, he was going to die. I usually don't rescue from pet stores but in this case I felt like I should. When smaller, he was a pet hole, but after his recent molt he's been out and about almost all the time! About 2.5in DLS if I had to guess.

Scarlet (0.1 B. emilia) molted about 3 weeks ago and finally decided to come out today! Such a beauty. I love this species. They're a classic for a reason!

Meet Cinder, 0.1 G. pulchra. She's very calm, docile, and just the cutest thing. I saw her and immediately knew that I was taking her home with me.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Tigerlily (0.1 P. vittata) freshly molted and looking gorgeous. She's very active at night but quite shy and difficult to get a decent picture of.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Amethyst (0.1 Phormictopus sp. Dominican purple) molted a little over a week ago and is starting to show some adult coloration. She was feisty during rehousing, but everything went smoothly. She'll be much happier in her new habitat.

Señor Verdugo (L. klugi) is a mature male and all grown up! Making sperm webs every day. He was my very first tarantula so it's bittersweet.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Jasmine (0.1 P. ornata) looking beautiful as ever. She's reclusive, but whenever I do see her, I'm in awe of her beauty.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Jumanji (0.1 S. calceatum) was out tonight searching for a meal. A rare sight, but such a beautiful spider.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Ignatia (0.1 B. horrida) molted a few days ago. Such a beautiful little spider with a great temperament. Very underrated species in my opinion.

Jasmine (0.1 P. ornata) looking beautiful as ever and leaving me in awe.
