#tarantula love

Just wanted to flex my updated gonta collection, including my good fuzzy leggy boi in the background who is also named Gonta. Like his namesake he is a himbo, unlike his namesake he is a grumpy little fuck who kicks hairs at the slightest provocation.

Here he is eating a mealworm. I would die for him.

chromatopelma cyaneopubescens has to be one of my favorite tarantulas they're just so cute ahhh

This is Ambrose, my Brachypelma Albopilosum (Honduran Curly Hair)

She isn't very big, compared to that bottle-cap .. shes a little over two inches in leg span when she isn't hunkered down!

Ambrose is a little skittish, a typical thing for juvenile tarantulas, but I love her to bits!! uwu  I tried to feed her a cricket, but she just refuses to eat it, she may be full from the meal worm I fed her a few days ago.

i would totally love to get a versicolor but people say they're extremely fast and can jump really high which kind of freaks me out but man are they beautiful spiders

Tarantulas really know how to scare the fuck out of people

I was re-filling Ambrose's little bottle-cap water dish.

What happened next was something I was anticipating, but still - 

She lunged at the water dish, which was inches from my hand, thinking the waters movement was prey. 

SWEET. JESUS. I almost crapped myself.

People blowing fireworks up around me unexpectedly doesn't even make me flinch.

Seriously, I'm nearly impossible to scare. 

Nothing can make my heart pound worse then a hungry tarantula. I was literally shaking afterwards. "S-silly Ambrose, thats not food. Ahahaaaaa...." /backs away and puts lid slowly back on cage

She wasn't pissed off or anything - she can pack away the crickets, got an insatiable appetite.
