Rehoused my M. balfouris last night 🥰 I have a total of 5, one unfortunately passed after a failed molt 😞 I saw a page call them the “social butterflies of the tarantula world” and I thought that was adorable and wanted to share that with you guys. For those of you unfamiliar with the species balfouris can coexist and create a “communal.” They have been observed to share food and even protect each other when one is molting, and that melts my heart 🥹 They are so fun to observe, I think I sat watching them for 2 hours last night, can’t wait to see them build their nest!! 🫶🫶

Been very much in love with my new spider gal OC, whose colours are based off of a Monocentropus Balfouri Tarantula! 

She’s a witch who betrayed other members her own species (aka giant man-eating spiders) to ensure her own survival by helping some honeybees. 

Currently just trying to figure out her anatomy and shapes because staying on model with her is preeeeeetty hard,,,therefore her design may still experience small changes
