Today in the spider room (well, technically yesterday, since it's 8:30 AM and I'm at work)...

Itty bitty Chilobrachys sp. Electric Blue got a rehouse out of the vial and into a 4x4x4, has already started putting some personal touches on the pre-made burrow I put in.
BOTH of my O. aureotibialis slings came out to say hello, and have both molted! And my M. balfouri sling graced me with a view of its fat little booty, I am now expecting a molt from it very soon.

 

[KeGathings17]

Psalmopoeus Pulcher molted! This is its second molt with me in the 2 or 3 months I've had it. Loving its 'personality' and everything about it.

Exciting day for a few of my Ts. GBB, N. coloratovillosus, A. chalcodes, and B. emilia all ate for me. GBB even hunted for once. T. albo disappointingly hooked out. B. hamorii that moulted a week ago is finally moving normally again without wobbling.

How is the emilia compared to other brachys you have? Between them, the albiceps, and auratum, I think they are a stunning genus.

Mine is a bit more skittish than my hamorii but he’s also very small. I love having him! The Brachypelma genus is my favourite.

Yes I can't wait for my albiceps to grow. Just got it today as a 1/4" sling, might even be closer to 1/2. Really love all the them in the genus and I think adult emilia's are just absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the reply!

 

[Darklittlelady]

I'm a happy mama. Picked up my first sling today! An Lp. I can't wait to watch it grow. Its already burrowing, check out that cute lil booty!

Big day in the spider room! Got my new B. boehmei and two T. albo slings all set up and rehoused my N. coloratovillosus. Her enclosure has been broken since June and I've made fixes to it to make it work but it finally really broke on Tuesday and she desperately needed a new home.

New slings and some 'true' spiders came today. I was expecting unboxing the P. cambridgei to be the most likely to go wrong, but it went straight into the enclosure perfectly when I nudged it with a paintbrush. Then there was the Aphonopelma sling. That little guy just wanted to move around

 

[Rigor Mortis]

B. boehmei wall watch: Day 3. Or 4. I lost count. She has decided that the dirt is inadequate for her little princess feet and therefore will not walk on it. She is arboreal now.

 

[Asgiliath]

Big Scary the stirmi really appreciated me moistening her sub. I could see it on her face.

 

[USNGunner]

Fed the beasties today. The GBB did a killer take down, as did the C. Versicolor. Both of my Hapalapous sp. Columbia slings were fired up today even. Usually feeding is "Go away human, we are not your entertainment!"

Fortunately my pet hole Cyriocosmus Perezmiles kept tradition alive. Feed her a red runner, it sat there 20 minutes, walked by it was gone. "A thief in the night" is apropos with that one. This is the gorgeous little buggar:

 

[gabrielgartner]

Rehoused P. metallica and P. irminia. Big Juvies. Went about as smoothly as it could go. Metallica ran a few laps around the tupperware I use for rehousing. Just got to be patient and deliberate. Chugged my wife's wine afterwards.

 

[draconisj4]

Rehoused my E. murinus, LP and P. gigas juvenile. The P. gigas went from " No I won't move and you can't make me" to " Ha ha ha, can't catch me!" several times before I got him in his new enclosure. I have to rehouse my T. violaceous juvenile soon, I suppose it will be more of the same.

Non T related, I had very rude house spider set up shop in my harvestman enclosure, it ate one of my harvestmen before I noticed it It got a quick escort outside.

B. boehmei wall watch is over! She came down this morning.

 

[J.huff23]

Doing a ton of rehouses. Found that my C.fimbriatus has just molted over night. Impossible to tell when rehousing fossorials. Especially since she just ate. Not great, but I finally got a molt that wasn’t destroyed to attempt to sex.

Hi all
Today is a good day.My SAF Brachypelma hamorii (5 inch DLS)finally left her waterdish alone for over a week after few months messing with it(Flipping it over ,dumping dirt in it and sleeping in it ) as soon as I clean and refill it.
Will see how long that lasts but is happy days for now.lol


PS The only tarantula I have that pulled her good size cork bark hide out of the dirt and toss it on the side of the enclosure. the little rascal.
Regards Konstantin
