Hello everyone! I'm creating this thread to post pictures and updates of my Curly hair. She is a young female, very docile. Below a few pictures. Hope y'all enjoy!

Kind regards,

Nemo.

Beautiful spider in a fantastic enclosure.
Many thanks! All plants are real life plants, your gona love my E. murinus enclosure.

Got a pleasant surprise today! She's molting write now. Caught me by surprise because she just stopped eating 3-4 weeks ago. Will post some pictures soon, and also HD videos of the end of the molting process.

Here's the molting pictures.

Such a nice enclosure, and one of my favourite species. The substrate looks quite damp and would have to be for the plants I guess. This is merely an observation and not a judgement; I'm curious about how well your albopilosum has accepted it. It doesn't seem to mind. I always took them for an arid species, but haven't kept adults myself.

I bought two albopilosum slings in 2012 and they're still years off fulfilling the aesthetic purpose of having bought them at all, namely getting the adult colours and fuzziness. Yours is very handsome!

I love your enclosure! Is the plant towards the front a small type of palm? I think I have some of that I've thought about adding to my Avic Avic containers for when I move my slings over. It self propagates fairly well.

Oh and nice spider too ;) lol!

Hey man, thanks! Im not sure whether its a small palm of some sort or not, but I bought it for just over a dollar at my local pet/garden shop. The ones close to the water dish I believe to be some kind of orchid.

Hey man, Im glad you enjoyed! I had misted the terrarium a little earlier, I do it every other day. Mainly due to the plants. I try to replicate the climate in Honduras LOL. She's adapted fairly well to the enclosure, she doesn't care for the hide at all. Most of the time she just chills on her patch of web, though some times she likes to stay on the glass. I use a 15w CF bulb on a 30cm reflector to help maintain the plants and temperatures. All luck with your slings!

Great pictures, I love her enclosure.
Thank you very much Julee!

I am so excited to finally get my own little sling. S/he is about 2 years old. I work at a zoo and have wanted a T of my own for a while now. I finally convinced my family to let me get one. I just wanted to get on here and post some pics showing it off. :D

It's only been in its new home for a couple hours and it seems very active. It's climbed the wall, dug a whole, and even started spinning.

So my baby has decided that it REALLY loves to dig! It has dug a big cave in half of its housing container. It came out last night to look around and get a little water, but other than that I am the proud new mamma of a pet spelunker!
