Slowly changing from brown fuzz to blue beauty.

Update:

New little ones in my collection. Still little slings so no coloring yet.

Up first we have Aphonopelma moellendorfi. I don't know the common name for this one.

Up next we have Pterinopelma sazimai. The Brazilian blue velvet.

And finally my first arboreal species, Avicularia avicularia. Guyana pinktoe tarantula.

So now my little collection of tarantulas has increased up to 9.

I need to stop before this gets out of hand.

It's been a while since I posted anything in this page. So allow me to start a re-run of my days in the hobby by introducing my latest acquisition, a Pterinopelma Sazimai sling aka Brazilian blue, aka Sazima's tarantula.

I housed it in a flat container where I used to keep my late Greenbottle blue. So far hasn't eaten anything. I've tried offering some mealworm but it doesn't seem ready to eat, so I'll wait a bit to get acclimated and I'll keep this diary updated. Till then..

My bb blue velvet has gotten so big! Theyve been busy rearranging the substrate and making new tunnels :)
