"My son is human, but my daughters are spiders"
Created by @edgeofthefreak.ca to show off and discuss the amazing qualities of spiders, specifically but not limited to tarantulas. XD
I have 4 tarantulas currently, and eagerly post pics and stories here.

Very cool! I've heard this species can be especially rough, so pairings can often become singles XD
Excellent work! Glad to have more captive bred in the world!

I've always kept Y. diversipes on my wishlist, but always thought they be too skittish, but here you are giving high fives XD

She has buried herself deep into the enclosure, and I honestly have no idea where she is XD
She went in one side, and dirt is slowly piling up from under the other side.
Thanks for checking in!💜

Incredible species!
Aphonopelma are awesome, and that's certainly not one I've heard mentioned!

Tliltocatl albopilosus?

I hope you're right one day! She's a regular wall climber, but that's likely a juvie deal for now.
Just glad she's treating the place like home!💜

Nice! 🍁
My local pet shop has starter colonies for discoid roaches, and I am beyond tempted to get one going... but they are HUGE hahahaha
I left with a massive hornworm instead lol

Awwww still proofing, the cutie XD

I'm in Canada and roaches are still quite rare to find. Since I only have four spiders to feed, so a whole colony would be way too much!
Been splurging on hornworms instead hahaha you're lucky you get to breed!

Same! I'm floored by how far she can wiggle around, and eating has been no issue! 💜

Right before feeding, the obvious hunting pose XD
Proud of the web mat she's been able to make!

She's eaten FIVE prekilled waxworms, and I likely didn't need to help XD She found em just fine!
Even tries her best to threat posture and all, I'm just hoping she can pull those legs thru when molt time comes!

Love when they get their adult "beefiness" and how much it can show in the legs. Much more capable looking!

They are soooooo velvety.
Such an incredible species!
