CW - Spider.
This young lady is a Poecilotheria ornata juvenile, sitting at the entrance to her corkbark tube hide (in the wild she would be inside a tree or hidden under loose bark) waiting for prey.
Note the yellow under her front legs, used for threat display - legs raised, fangs exposed to say "Back off as I'm extremely venomous"

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.

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.
