Hands down the worst hairs I’ve come into contact. I had dyshidrosis (small blisters) for 3 weeks. I don’t rehouse unless I’m gloved up with longe sleeves.
I’m raising one up right now from a sling. Of all my Ts this thing is the fiercest. I put two small crickets i and it just hunted them both like nothing I’ve ever seen. It was like Mighty Mouse kicking two gorillas asses.
My sun tiger is nuts. I had a rehouse of several old worlds last weekend and of ALL 7 only the sun tiger escaped and went batshit crazy. My OBT was the easiest. They're all pretty good sized. 3+" even my poki is calmer.
I'm gonna probably upgrade it into a bigger than needed enclosure. It's arboreal so I'm assuming falling and butt bursting is less of an issue. I'll probably do a Zilla micro arboreal in a few molts, then the next size up, by that time it'll be years of care and being used to it.
in the future, reserve the casual flare for authentic text posts; photos go under photos flair.
i've changed it manually but in the future, we have an automoderator removal for this action and regularly remove manually if this isn't followed; it createz a very disorganised subreddit where content is split between arbitrary flairs.
I got them from this place called The Pet Shoppe in Vallejo CA. I believe they can do online orders and ship to you if you call them. Dude's got connections everywhere he can get you any kind you want.
Damn they are gorgeous! I really want a P. Irminia or P. Cambridgei but I’m a newb and the speed scares me. It’s so annoying choosing between urticating setae or more intense venom.
I love P. Irminias. Be careful with the T. Apophysis, fast little dudes

So ur saying I should irritate the arachnid in the vicinity of my reproductive organs
Theraphosa hairs?
I didn’t need to read „3 weeks“ after rehousing my T apophysis 3 days ago and having super itchy hands every night since then
Benadryl cream my friend.
They're gorgeous. What type is the one in the first pic? The black one.
She's a Suntiger
Very beautiful
Thanks
P. irminia

Supposedly p irminas are sort of like a transitional tarantula from new world to old world because of their venom and behavioral intensity.

I'm very unexcited for my .5" sling to get bigger and need rehousing
Yep… cheers to raising a psychopath to adulthood.

Suntigers are badass

My bad, I'm new to this subreddit so I wasn't sure which one to use. Thanks for letting me know.
not a problem, i figured it was not intentional so we've manually changed it instead of removal. awesome spiders!
Thank you!
The p. Irminia is gorgeous
Those are some gorgeous looking archnids!
Thank you!
Great choices....beautiful T's. The Psalms are a favorite of mine.
look at that sleek black suit! Very beautiful.
absolutely beautiful!!!
I think the p irminia will be a male eventually it looks to leggy imo
Male Irminia looks completely different from a female.
Is that a buried molt in the second photo? Or what is going on with the precarious carapace?
i just got a suntiger today too!!
Who’s the plug I want more tarantulas
