  1. I got a rare treat tonight! I looked over and saw my elusive Chilobrachys sp. 'Electric Blue' out of its burrow. I snapped as many photos as I could without distrubing it too much and these are the four best.

  2. One nice thing about working until the middle of the night is that I catch more of our #tarantulas out and being active when I get home. Here are some pics of the ones who welcomed me back tonight.

  6. My #Theraphosa blondi finally let me have this #molt and it was both large and intact enough that I am pretty sure I can officially determine that she is female! 🎉

    That flappy bit between her front book lungs that is resting on a part of the forceps is, I believe, her spermatheca.

  10. I ordered a Neoholothele incei 'Gold' from Swift's Invertebrates. He includes a freebie in every order but the current freebies listed on his site for orders under $100 are some smaller centipedes. I told him there is no need to send a freebie because centipedes give me the willies (tho I'd consider keeping Scolopendra gigantea). To my happy surprise, he included a Brachypelma albopilosum with my order instead!

  11. During feeding time for the #tarantulas this evening, the Pterinochilus murinus bolted which resulted in me briefly handling it - something I'm not a fan of generally but especially not with that species. Their common name is Orange Baboon #Tarantula (OBT) but they are better known as Orange Bitey Thing.

  12. The vendor I was miffed at for sending me the wrong species (Grammostola pulchripes) over two years ago offered me a very steep discount on a replacement which definitely took the sting out a little. It was delayed by FedEx for a day but arrived healthy and active today. Meet my new little Brazilian Black Tarantula (Grammostola pulchra)!

  13. I'm so glad my skin grows with me. I'd hate to have to go through molting like Moghedien is presently.
