I bought a coconut because we like fresh coconut to snack on around here when we can find them. The shell came off in nice big pieces. Now I'm gonna have to go get some tarantulas to live in them. Can't let it go to waste! (A bunch of my tarantulas already live in coconuts that we ate.)

Thing is, you can have 5 T. albos and all 5 act differently. My Brachys seem to go on hunger strike more that my Tliltocatls. I've never had a Lasiocayo so I've got nothing to go on there.

Grammostola acteon. This is one of my most food reactive tarantulas. I hope that doesn't change with this molt. Added bonus, I didn't know they got striped legs.

I have a few expos coming up. I will definitely have an eye out for one of these!

I can't see the video. :(

I've got a couple where that is about the best picture you are going to get of them!

I can never get your videos to work on my computer. It just now occurred to me to try it on my phone. It works there. Gorgeous spider! I don't do old worlds, but that one does look tempting. Word on the street is they stridulate. Have you ever heard one do it?

I thought they swallowed the spiders to catch the flies? I don't know why they swallowed the flies.

I had a red runner colony. Emphasis on had! It took a couple of months for them to stop appearing in the glue traps. I tried absolutely everything to stop escapes, but they didn't seem to care that said measures were supposed to work. If I see a cup at an expo I might grab them for a treat, but...

Aphonopelma seemanni. That is their favorite corner, so I won't be getting that molt out of there any time soon.

Nhandu coloratovillosus! This is an extra special pic because she hides 90% of the time and hides immediately when you get a camera out. Her burrow is referred to as "the hole things go in to and don't come back out." You can hear what happened to the crickets and roaches that go down there...

Aphonopelma sp. Acapulco. Another surprise molt.

Alas, I hath no Facebook, so no.

I dont mind when one of mine hooks out. It is just another part of keeping tarantulas. As far as shorter lifespans go, you can do absolutely everything right and still have a tarantula die on you. It sucks, but it happens. Here is my current lot of guys. A Tliltocatl vagans, a Hapolopus sp...

Aphonopelma bicoloratum went up a size. Still a little bit of a thing.
