And here are the two newbies! Up first is Cecil, my male G. pulchra! Picked him up at the expo I went to two weekends ago, and I adore him. He is VERY chill, my largest T, and such a handsome fella! Eats like a champ, too- he loves dubias! Now, I don't have the best pictures of this little...

Been another hot minute but! Dancer, my A. avic, molted!!! She is looking SO pretty and showing off those little fiber optic hairs (the reason I chose the Metallic morphotype!). Took a look at her molt. It is TEENY so nothing is for sure but I think she's female. She'd be my first female- I...

The last time I posted, I was wondering how big the two inch GBB sling I ordered was going to be, since my "one inch" avic was so large. The answer? I guesstimate like, 3 inches or so! Meet Rider! He was pretty shy when he first arrived, but after some husbandry changes (the lights I was using...

My A. avicularia is here! And she is SO MUCH BIGGER than I expected her to be! I paid for a one inch sling, and when I opened the vial I was met with this gorgeous fuzzy... I think Juvie? Is that correct? She feels too darn large to say sling or spiderling anymore! Even with the vivid filter...

Wanted to make an update- I am now expecting TWO tarantulas, so of course I had to make another enclosure! This is for my incoming A. avicularia "Metallic". And I made some changes to the GBB enclosure- another piece of cork for some height, a more suitable piece for the hide, some moss to...

WOW I am late on this reply! But I did reorganize the enclosure a bit- added another piece of cork bark for height and some moss as additional web anchors!

Very first T enclosure! I am expecting a Green Bottle Blue in the mail on March 1st, so I figured I would get this put together now! I am expecting the spider to be 2 inches. This is a small Kritter Keeper (a little over 9" x 6" x 7"), with Josh's Frogs ABG mix in the bottom, some cork bark...

Just wanted to share some good news that I'm really stoked about! I've had my Ghost Mantis, Reaper Man, for a week as of today. He quit eating yesterday, so I decided to give his enclosure a little extra mist just in case, but I really thought there was no way he was going to molt for me...

Oh, I've heard good things about those! I do have a large enclosure I'm itching to use, and I am trying to persuade my wife to join me in the keeping of little critters, so I'll pass that suggestion along to her as well!

Good Evening All! I am brand new to the hobby, but I've loved creepy crawlies all my life. I currently am the brand new owner of a Ghost Mantis named Reaper Man (yes, like the Mother, Mother song) and a Jumping Spider named Bracken (yes, like the creature from Lethal Company), but I can already...
