    QotW: what’s the most?

    I splurged and spent $100 on a L. polycuspulatus but I had a rare surplus of money, it was a species I'd never heard of (let alone seen), and it was probably about 1.5".....so I don't feel bad about it. In the future, if I'm gonna spend over $50-$60, it will have to be one of my bucket list...

    T's in Movies

    And the black-and-white 50's classic "Tarantula!". I thought there might be some in "Food of the Gods" but I think that one was mostly rats.

    My little T. albo sling (Bob Ross) molted on his side this morning but appears to have come through just fine!

    Ts that don't meet expectations.

    My chalcodes is a straight up roach-killing machine. Otherwise, she's pretty chill and will retreat to her hide if I take the lid off of her enclosure. But toss a dubia in there and she turns into a monster.

    how strong are tarantulas exactly..?

    I've got a mature T. albopilosus in one. I just keep a decent sized hardback book on top of the lid so he can't shove it off.

    What's everybody reading?

    No, I just was really fascinated by r/Tulpas. I actually did try creating one but what I began creating had some inadvertent issues so I simply stopped working on it and let it fade away. But I'll have to check that out once I get it together to focus on non-fiction.

    Thought forms......like tulpas and servitors and such? Very cool.

    What's everybody reading?

    Finishing up "Bag of Bones" by Stephen King. Waiting for delivery on "The Dead Zone" (also King) and "If You Tell" by Gregg Olsen. I have a massive pile of stuff to read but lately I'm not interested by it and am having issues with focusing on non-fiction. So I'm just reading a crapload of...

    Social distancing

    For the same reason I'm still alive in NY despite having a suppressed immune system - it's part of the plan. I don't pretend to understand the plan, I don't pretend it's even necessarily a GOOD plan. But it's the only reason I can come up with.

    Synced Molting????

    My first two slings went into pre-moult within about two weeks of arriving. (late February/very early March). The T. albo sling finally molted last night (huzzah!) and the B. hamorii looks like it's going to moult any second now. But 4 out of 5 of my slings sealed off their burrows within days...
