Posted in warning: spider inside Posted 5 years ago

@Bioshock: oh yes, many spiders! so many legs! i've been keeping tarantulas for about 13 years. i'm used to old worlds threat posing me for having the audacity to feed them. so my new baby Neith was like a breath of fresh air when i started tapping her legs to cup her and she walked right into the cup for me.
i do have a couple other grammostolas, mostly pulchras, but Neith is double the size of the ones i have. my oldest g. pulchra IS 13 (and male! wow!) and is nowhere near as large. guess this is what happens when a spider is fed weekly

@athabm: i have top tier respect for anyone who can pull a name out of the air like that. when i start naming things, it's almost always some combination of small/tiny/baby/miss/mister + boy/girl/princess/prince/cutieface/(whatever type of animal this is). i am glad i have her now too! she seems much less stressed in her new proper setup.
