I had to house a h devamatha. That was fun.

Those are real pretty.

I was rehousing 2 slings. Amazon delivery distracted me after the first rehouse. When I was done and putting the enclosures back in place I noticed 1 sling inside the the hide and another on top of the hide, both in the same enclosure! Gave me a heart attack. Good thing I found out real quick.

Lady Luck was on your side for sure

I was at my cousins house and his tarantula met me in the bathroom and I nearly peed myself

Good thing you were already in the bathroom.

Had my avic spew a straight line of poop on his wall and then watch me clean it with the smugness of a cat.

One time (not at band camp) I was packing a few A. ezendami slings for shipping. On the 3rd one, as I put it in the vial, everything went smooth, but as I peered inside, the sling wasnt there. I spent 20 minutes looking, but couldn't locate it. I went back, grabbed another sling and packed it up so I could get to the shipper in time. I walk out to my car on the street and my neighbor pulls up....as we chat for a couple minutes, I feel something on my arm......and the little sling walks out from my t shirt (armpit) and onto my forearm to my wrist.....neighbor and I had a little laugh as I ran back inside to secure the little guy...haha

Hey The Spider House, what theraposa species is good for beginners in the genus?

 

[Jonathan6303]

I consider the theraphosa genus to be intermediate considering there speed and moisture requirements. I do not know which one is the best starter off as I never owned one

 

[coldbl00ded]

Thanks for the info

With one of my feeders, the superworms, one of them changed into a beetle so I'm gonna keep it as a pet.

They're all the same but usually apophysis is more expensive by a fair amount.

 

[coldbl00ded]

cool

I had a C. huahini run into the overflow drain in my bathroom during a rehouse. Lived in there for 2 weeks, webbing, everything. I tried every conceivable method to get him out. Eventually resorted to blasting him out with an air compressor and caught him in a Ziplock bag. I've never seen such an angry arachnid.

Oh man that is hilarious. Just so you know you just broke a myth. Putting ping pong balls in a T's enclosure for them to play with was a laughing joke on the people that did it.

Well looks like you proved T's do interact with them. You're the first one I've read and seen a video from proving they do, .
