Indeed, life imitates art.

Feat. my pet tarantula (A. chalcodes), Contessa Gloria, who I got back in February! She’s my first tarantula and I named her after Sly Cooper’s Contessa and her voice actress, the late Gloria Manon 🖤

“Oh, oh, I see you there, all sad and scared and timid! Everyone’s gonna like you! Everyone’s gonna like me!” ~Me rehousing her. 

First of the new kids is the Aphonopelma chalcodes, an Arizona blonde that I’m calling Iason because I’m not funny. She’s an impossible little darling of a thing.

Marmalade my A. Chalcodes is up and about after barricading herself in her hide since September 2016.

Get a tarantula! They’re lots of fun.

Repticon tarantula haul! I had to choose the fattest a. chalcodes on the table. I love T butts.

I decided to try the ping pong ball experiment with a few of my tarantulas.
