Welcome to the 'Rancho Ranch!

Attended an expo today, got 4 new additions!!

Unsexed 1/2" Pterinopelma sazimai, not pictured as the tiny booger dug and would be difficult to get a pic of.

Unsexed 1/3" Aphonopelma chalcodes sling that's far too cute for me to handle.

Unsexed (but ventral has me hopeful for a female) 1 1/2" Ephebopus uatuman that has the prettiest purple iridescence I've ever seen. That picture does her no justice.

And last but not least, a 4"+ female Aphonopelma hentzi, minus a leg. Even with her missing leg, she seems like a very sweet and calm T. My friend named her Amber on the way home from the expo. 😊

Hanzo also molted a few days back. Finally. :D

Look at those adorable little jelly legs! Once those harden up enough, this little booger will be getting a rehouse. Easily sitting at 1″ DLS now, if not just a touch over. 

After several months of patience, my first breeding loan with my first mature male (RIP Lautrec 💔) has finally paid off; meet Lucatiel, Aslatiel, and Creighton!

It was a small sac (even by Idiothele mira standards) with a 50/50 split of the slings, which left me with 3 of the 6 total. There's still another female that has yet to drop or molt, so there COULD be more, but alas I'm more than happy to just get a few of my old boy's babies. Fingers crossed at least ONE turns out female.

A couple molts today! Kagome and Peridot 😁

0.0.1 Pterinochilus murinus DCF Kigoma

Did a few rehouses yesterday, including Zenyatta here. She was my third tarantula, and seeing this T go from the .5″ brown sling she was to the ~4″ subadult she is now has gone from one of the most frustrating to one of the most rewarding experiences of keeping Ts. Such a sweet and docile T.

Centauri got a rehouse and sat there looking so confused. Dwarf Ts are too precious.
