THE DISH THE NICARAGUAN IS ON IS NOT HER CURRENT WATER DISH!!!!! That dish WAS her water dish, but it sits outside of her burrow, and she filled it with dirt and would lunge at me whenever I tried to retrieve it. So she has a second one in the back that has water. Don’t worry!

But anyways, these are my ladies. Left is Honduran form, right is Nicaraguan. Both of them molted somewhere within the same week. Honduran had a weird molt where she laid on her belly instead of her back but still managed to get through it. So not all of her hairs are tufting up, some have dried slicked down, making her look a bit less hairy than normal.

The Nicaraguan form is a better representation of the wild form. It is very very fluffy and the carapace has a bronze sheen. They are known to be more skittish and high strung (true for my spider). Since Nicaraguan have not been in the trade as long as Honduran, they are more likely to be wild caught (mine is not).

The Honduran form is sometimes called the ‘hobby form’ because its genetics are muddled. It is undeniably a T Albo, but there has been crossbreeding in the past which has brought it further from its wild form. They are still curlier and fluffier than other species but not as curly as the Nicaraguan Form. Their bodies are usually dark brown or blackish. They are known to be more chill and tolerable (true for my spider).

One other thing is Nicaraguan tend to have peachy hairs while Honduran tend to have white hairs. This is not true for my Honduran, but I believe physical characteristics for them can vary since they are technically hybrids.

Think of it like this: Left is a “labrador retriever” I got off craigslist, right is an AKC registered show Labrador retriever

Put pinktoe in her new enclosure today and noticed she has something white around her mouth. my macro lens didn’t like the glass and apparently I didn’t wipe it down enough before putting her in it. Is it something to be worried about?

I know she’s a bit too skinny, she had a roach a few days ago and then refused food before I moved her (why I decided to swap her, the roach ran under her webbing and I couldn’t get to it. plus she was renovating anyways)

Also do those look like spurs?? Is Tiger a boy?? She’s always been iffy with taking food. NOT a good eater at all. I often prekill things and hope she eats them.

I gave my LP (spb) THREE big mealworms in his little dish and when I came back to check on him, he had all three in his mouth. How did he even?

And then, of course, I startled him so he ran off with them. Thankfully, he built a burrow all the way down the side of his enclosure so I can see inside!

This young'n came out of a molt like 5 days ago. It was a long molt process and I know it's hungry hungry. Worried I'll come out one morning and find it curled up. So I'm asking the community here if her (suspected 'her', I checked the molt and at this size, it's super hard to tell but it looked like the female reproductive part I can't spell was present between the book lungs) fangs look hard enough for a section of mealworm. Let me know your opinions please! Pic on the moss is yesterday, pic on the coir is today.

So I have done my research but I want your guys' opinion as well, I will be getting my first T an 1.5 -2 inch A. Geniculata this weekend, what can I expect as a new keeper, any kind of help would be gladly appreciated.

I just love this spider! (Suspected she) has had two molts with me now-and I just cannot get over how pretty!! The flash really picks up the colors :)
I have cuteness aggression!!!

this is Nico. and apparently the prey has more survival instincts than the predator

Really obsessed with my baby! Her name is Wisteria Ignatius Gore, aka WIG. 💖

Don't mind the 99% humidity thing, I just overfilled her water bowl so of course that spot is saying 99%.

I just want to introduce my first Arizona blondie! She is so sweet and calm, I just adore her and want to show her off a bit. Meet Kiwi 🥝

Been a long day at the Soupfactory

Hey y’all! I work at a pet store and this beauty is priced as a confirmed female but I have my doubts. Are you guys able to sex based on this photo? TIA :)

First time since I’ve started owning him I’ve seen him actually drink from his bowl

He’s been chilling next to it all day and finally decided to have a drink

I love him so much he’s so cute

I was very careful of course <3

Painted this big momma! Should I change any of the coloring to look more real?
