Bald no more (and others)

[Kymura]

Some of you may remember my genic kicked herself almost cueball bald in shipping. Well, she molted successfully a while ago so got a couple shots while feeding.
I adore this little girl so sharing with my favorite forum

Look @Thistles she's purty again
And I must be doing something right for the pokie kiddies they all growing and molting.

Nice! Mine did the same thing in shipping. Couldn't wait for her to molt. They are so gorgeous. Love them.

Lovely animal! Do you find their hairs bad?

I have personally never had hairs get on me from any tarantula but from my reading, A.Geniculata is the next worse to Theraphosa hairs. Luckily I have yet to experience it!

She's never once kicked hairs at me.Her baldness was from shipping. Ten minutes after she was unpacked she was happily munching a fat dubia.
Worst she's done is cover her dish when I want to clean and fill it. So, I just give her a different one and get it later. Honestly mine is a sweetheart. She's curious big, beautiful. And very laid back other then with dubia.
Don't get me wrong, I love keeping T's. enjoy all of them for their quirks. Old/new world, defensive or pet rock. But this genic..she's perfect. So..her hairs might be bad...but I can't tell you for sure.

See, waxing is not all its "cracked" up to be. Some of us like fuzzy butt's. ....lmao
Jeez that sounds wrong but I thinks it's funny so who cares.....lol

That depends on the person, really. I can run my hand over the top level of substrate and feel only mild irritation. Some folks hand would turn red and swell up, and bother them all day, almost like an allergic reaction, from what ive read. One of my genics actually haired me in the face while I was inhaling..not pleasant, but it only bothered me for ten or fifteen minutes. My nose and throat were just scratchy and irritated. Still...not pleasant

My genic has kicked hairs at us but when that happens we put the lid back on and let him calm down. It's not often she does this, usually just when we have to rehouse or refresh the substrate. But she's always guarding the water dish. Anytime we open the lid she stands right over the dish, last time i had to clean it out i tried to distract her with a roach, but she turned around (with roach in fangs) and gave me a pose when i moved the dish with tongs lol.

Yeah Mahtava clings to the dish. I give her a different one and whole she's checking it out I take the old one and wash it for next time. Adore these spiders. Honestly could be content with a dozen of them.
