First off, thank you all for the warm welcome!

My first tarantula is a Tliltocatl albopilosum (Nicaraguan), she has quite the personality. She blocked up the entrance to the hide I provided, burried her water dish. Very curious and food motivated- I would not put my hand near her! I was decorating her home with moss and she walked near every small piece and poked them to test if it was food. Very fast to bite tongs.
(It isn’t sexed i just hope it’s a girl)

Molted only once with me so far, made this little bed.

This is her now.

My little sister owns a Tliltocatl albopilosum (hobby form) slightly smaller, but compared to mine it’s a pet hole. Was given a cave, entered it we only see it when it’s hungry. Molted twice since October. No picture of this one.. unfortunately

Now! Onto my slings! Got them today and i’m excited.

Cyriocosmus aueri

Managed to snag a picture while it hung from the wall.

Cyriocosmus elegans
(Smaller than expected, no picture yet unfortunately, they went straight into hiding)

Cyriocosmus leetzi
(Unfortunately no pictures yet. They were hidden too)

Hapalopus sp. Columbia large

This one seems to be the most active- nearly escaped when moving it to its home. Fortunately stopped bolting and calmly climbed my finger allowing me to lead it in its home.

Catumiri cf. argentinensis

Was surprised to receive this little guy. He’s a freebie i received with my order

I can confirm that Hapalopus sp. Columbia large and Catumiri cf. argentinensis ate their first meal with me!

Pumpkin patch was wandering around it’s tiny enclosure and went straight for the pinhead

The other? Just came back to it and it had moved and is now holding something small and white in its mouth

Congrats. The pumpkin patch is a real charmer. Get used to that feeding response, mine kept it for even a few feeds after he hooked out. Little tarantulas that pack a big punch. What’s not to love?
