My armada of Tarantula pictures.

Just figured I'd make a thread showing off MY collection. Ill update as time goes by when I take more pictures!

This here is just the feetsies and leggies, but this is my Pelinobus Muticus. I believe this was my third old world that I got two months into the hobby from a local breeder here. I honestly love this guy. He was the first and only T that has given me a threat post and bit when I rehousing. Went smoothly other than that. I loved the attitude, the size, feeding response and I get to see him/her very often.

This one here is my Grammastola Pulcra. Maybe an inch? Still pretty small. Amazing eater and very skittish. Not kicking hairs but will run around and hide. May rehouse her into a nicer enclosure after another molt.

This here is my Grammastola Pulcripes. Another favorite of mine. Very destructive even at his size. Already buried multiple water cups. Will also rehouse him after another molt alongside the Pulcra.

This here is def in the top five of my favorite sling sand maybe even top 3. I haven't really given the list much though but hes def top 5. This here is my Phormictopus Sp. Dominican Purple. He's probably inch and a half and full of spunk. No threat posing or hair kicking but just... doesn't care. He's already escaped once because he decided during a watering that he wanted to go outside. He was very calm and went out slowly but ended up bolting really quick as I tried to nudge him/her back. WILL be rehousing this one after the next molt for a larger enclosure. I used too much substrate and ended up allowing her to climb out from her burrow. Love this genus.

This here is my Ceratogyrus Darlingi, another of my larger T's. I really think I was given Juvi's instead of slings, which im fine with. Paid sling prices! Cant access their molts due to the fact he decided that the molts belong in his burrow so dont know the gender. Hoping female. I catch this guy out and about quite often so I'm very happy. Another of my favorites of my collection. I started with old worlds within a month or two and this was one of the ones that came with the P. Muticus. Love my Tarantulas! I hope to get a picture soon of my H. Gigas who is another one of my favorites!

I'll update with new pictures when I take them. I just came home and decided to look at my T's to see who was out today. For some reason, the Fossorials are much more likely to be my favorite T's because I get to see them often due to my work schedule and how my apartment is set up. Its usually very dark in the tarantula corner and I am up at 4 a.m, so I get to see my tarantulas ALOT.



I will send pictures tomorrow of my new slings coming in from another breeder. I got nine more T's incoming so prepare!

Just picked up my slings from fed and am rehousinng now. I have nine of them and will be putting them up 3 at a time on this forum.

First three are:

This is my Phormictopus auratus. This one has already given me a heart attack. He was right there at the top of the lid of the dram vial that he came in. He was NOT burrowed down. Already love the spunk! HAH.

This here is the supposedly rare Grammastola anthracina. Beauty!

My aponopelma Chalcodes. Very itty bitty and blends in well to the soil mixed with excavator clay. He'll find a nice burrow to his left ready for him under the bark.

I couldn't get a picture of the third Tarantula very well. It is my Theraphosa Stirmi. He decided that despite a paintbrush gently prodding him, he was NOT moving. Hes in a large enclosure so the dram vial fit in very well so for the safety of the T, I just put the dram vial in there without any of the substrate so he can crawl out. I will grab the vial later and take a picture of this beauty. For his size, he has some BIG fangs. lol!

Anyways. These two new T's were the mystery gift from the breeder for Fathers day! One new world and one old world, and the old world is one that I was looking at so I got lucky! The new world was a surprise but I fell in love with his size!


This one here is my Hapalopus Formosus! HES SO ITTY BITTY. He made the two Aponopelmas look like giants!

This here is the Orphnaecus philippinus!

Finally got a picture. He left the empty vial and went right to the burrow I made under the cork bark!

30! So many pictures you will get to take!

Maybe one day I will have that many. I hope you will get good opportunities to take pictures. It is hard with lighting and enclosure composition!

Its not as many as people think. People like Tom Moran and other bigger keepers have hundreds.

I love my T's though! I have a good mixture of old worlds and new worlds.

Im new to the hobby by a few months but its been a great ride. Addicting!

To me a tarantula, is an animal, just like a dog. 30 tarantulas, could be like 30 dogs. Everyone has a different life situation. Maybe 30 is not much, but i do not compare myself with others because we are all different.

That being said, i hope you have as many as you wish and can care for. The point is to love caring for tarantulas, and being able to care for those we have 😊

I suppose. Everyones situation is different! You are right. My situation is... Im single, alone and have enough space atm for 30 slings. 30 adults would be a different story at this time, but I plan on moving into a much larger apartment at the end of the year so everything is working out!

Pick a mate that will have space in their heart for 30 more.
Haha. We'll see. Not many women I meet enjoy spiders. Shoot, most of my male coworkers thing im nuts.

That being siad, 30 more? We'll see. Im not too intereted in that much more T's. Probably more Phormictopus, Pampobetus, and Theraphosinae would be what i'd focus on, but im okay with what I have very much so. Unless Fear not does a deal that I cant pass up >.>

It was my way of joking. To find a person who loves tarantulas. That way you will never have to chose between one or the other. And they will get you.

They get me all the time with their deals. And after each one, I say "no more"....
" two mystery tarantulas for only $50!"
