Tarantulas, some tiny as a fingernail, some larger than my palm.
So cute! What species do you keep?
Mostly common ones, I have T. vagans, T. albopilosum ,B. Emilia, B. Smithi, V. Chromatus and P. Sazimai :)
Edit: just saw your reply, how about you? which are your favourite species to keep?
Awesome! We have some of those as well! Which of yours is your favorite so far?
We're relatively new to the hobby and our collection is all pretty common New World Ts (mostly terrestrial, nothing super spicy) - most are still slings under 3".
I love them all for different reasons, but I'm very partial to our G. pulchripes. Our T. albo, E. campustratus, A. geniculata and T. vagans have already brought us lots of joy, and our little L. sazimai (they changed from P. sazimai to *Lasiocyano sazimai at some point) is pretty kickass so far too. Our B. klaasi and GBBs too. Ugh its really hard to pick favorites..
Oh my god, it's adorable. So cute!
They are the cutest!
