I got two more! Four Ts and one true spider and three jumping spiders and counting…?

my tarantula dealer finally had a Grammastola pulchra! So I had to get it! It’s a tinny tiny sling for now. And I got this gorgeous Tliltocatl kahlenbergi! I can’t get anymore for now. :/
My Cyriocosmus elegans molted and got bigger than I expected too! The Eresus walckenaeri molted too! And of course my princess Acanthoscurria geniculata is gorgeous as always. Been a good spider month for me!

Very nice collection you've got there. Lots to observe, take care of and enjoy.

Thank you! If not for how kind and helpful people on this forum were when I got my first, I might not have had the courage to get more.

That kahlenbergi is gorgeous! Really making me want to get more from the genus.
Also I'm in love with your Eresus enclosure

Thank you! I was a bit wary of using soil in her enclosure, the seller I get her from was pretty adamant about not adding soil to it but I wanted to add sticks for her to web onto. So I compromised with shredded paper .

A geniculata are great. When they come out, they are ready to eat and pounce fast.

How hard is keeping a sun spider? I thought they liked dry conditions.

Absolutely beautiful to boot too!

do you mean solifuge? well.. it depends. You'll have to read about them because they vary tremendously in habitat preference.

I might actually write a care-sheet and FAQ.

The one I have has been doing well for a while in Japan’s freezing winter and hot and humid summer so far, eating well and messing about with her enclosure, so I wasn’t aware of any particular sun needs? She’s also in pre molt now. she’s been pretty easy to keep thus far. But to be fair I just got her three months ago and winter was already on its way out then. She was fine with her breeder though
