beautiful spider!! great feeding response :)

Have any keepers noticed any particular similarities or differences between their baumgarteni and boehmeis that are notable? The spiders are in the same genus, have similar looks, and are from close locations in their natural ranges. I've heard boehmeis have a somewhat famous temperament and...

Hi Rambutan!!! Welcome!! Your new pet is very cute!! Is it a brachypelma boehmei?

That's amazing, wow!! And thank you!! I bought her some feeders today, gonna see if she's up for snacks lol

This was extremely helpful, thank you!!! Knowing how the process goes and why a spider may/may not be ready is really useful. Can I ask where you learned stuff like this about tarantulas so I can also do more research?

Don't have any pics of my own but I also think mature males are underrated! It's always hard to see a pet go, but it also seems to me to be a great way to find a few species and take care of them without committing to 15 years.

This is also how I feel. I think even if my first T hadn't been my t. albo, I would've gravitated there anyway because the fluffy tarantulas are so adorable. Also I'm sorry for the loss of your chameleon!

I think the ones I'm most interested in someday as a beginner are: brachypelma boehmei, grammastola pulchripes, brachypelma klaasi, and tliltocatl vagans, avicularia avicularia, phormictopus auratus, andddd aphonopelma chalcodes. Emphasis for most desired ones.

*goal is not feed again until her exoskeleton has hardened. Just found out posts can't be edited, lol

What it says basically. My first tarantula (t. albo) molted for the first time since I've had her, and I've been trying to be very careful not to disturb her afterwards and making sure there's water in there for her to rehydrate. I know the goal is to not feed again until her exoskeleton has...

Oh my god?? That's awful, I'm so glad your T survived and that it's an ex friend now. The entitlement of some people...

Lol this made me laugh

Howdy!! My name is Naomi! As the title says, I've liked tarantulas and wanted one for a long time, but wasn't able to get one until this past year. A coworker of my mom's this time last year had one he couldn't care for anymore and asked if she knew anyone who'd want it. It definitely felt meant...

Hi Daphne!!!! Welcome!!! I love your slings' names, haha. They're cute.

Hi Joe!!! Nice to meet you. Your spider is really lovely :D
