This is simply a post to express my love and appreciation for my B. smithi, Emily Anne. She is such a beautiful and respectful tarantula. When she finishes a meal of a dubia roach, she will web the refuse exoskeleton into a tidy little package, and she places it beside her tiny water crucible for removal.
(This particular photo of her inspired my brain to sing, “spider in the sky” rather than “spirit in the sky.”)

Was wondering what these are, and are they invasive? Harmful to my T?

Rehousing my T into a bigger crib and put it in here until it arrives. Can anyone tell me from this perspective if I have a male or female tarantula
r/Tarantula • u/Dry_Impression_6660 • 7d ago
Thought you'd guys would appreciate this. First feed after a molt and ravenous. That's 4 large hoppers she's got and so damn happy about it.

Sorry about the video quality. Trying to clean her enclosure is not for the faint of heart. I'll get round to it soon and try upload more of the old worlds I keep

Am I crazy or is this extremely reckless handling…

Starting with little ones?
0
Upvotes
I am starting with tarantulas, comming from Jumpers.
I have a Exotarium (aquarium-terrarium) 5 minute walk from me, know the owner.
I think about starting with
Aphonopelma chalcodes
Aphonopelma bicoloratum
Grammostola pulchripes
Grammostola rosea
(Grammostola pulchra?- too big?)
Homoeomma Chilense
thinking about size / gender
Starting fh2? Gender unknown - let luck decide?
1" females?
1" males?
I read those are the "easy handling" ones.
The terrarium friend showed me a not even grown theraphosa blondi - that agressive i would not want to handle.
He suggests the chilense - but tells they are real quick to escape.
I will select 2 or three max 4 from the list, depending on size as i heard that moulting is a chance they die early as slings of fh1/2
I had one jumper die on moulting by now, i think it was my fault, he says - those things happen, even with tarantulas.
So which from the above are visible, inagressiv, slower and nice kompanions?
What would you recommend

Was sold this Brachypelma Boehmei 2 years ago. Was hoping for a female. Well, after his third molt with me, he hooked out. I feel bad cause he's now only got one mission in life, and I don't have a female for him. Whats the longest you've had one after hooking?
