one of my curly hair t's molted today and is a mature male now 😭 i raised him from the tiniest of slings (only 1/4"!!). he was actually one of the very first tarantulas i ever owned!! when i started keeping tarantulas i bought 3 slings and he was one of them ❤️

5 years with this guy and I finally got a good molt and khloris is a male!! Was very hoping for female because females live so much longer but I'll love him just the same 💜 look how tiny he use to be!!!!

My wife and I finally got into the arachnid game recently, adding this beautiful little Curly Hair Tarantula to our family! Obtained at the 2023 NY Metro Reptile Expo, this Tliltocatl albopilosus is native to areas of the rainforest in Nicaragua and Costa Rica and is an opportunistically burrowing species. It’s also a great starter spider, as Curly Hairs are highly adaptable to humidity and temperature changes, feed readily on commercially available crickets and superworms, and are typically docile.

As for her name, the Breaking Bad superfan in me had to go with Lydia – a reference to the woman Todd Alquist becomes obsessed with and the tarantula he keeps after murdering Drew Sharp. 🕷️

My mature male T.albo, Vax'ildan, died today :( He was one of the three tarantulas I got when I first started keeping them back in 2020. He matured out in November, and males can live anywhere from a few weeks to a full year once they mature, so he lived another 4 months which isn't too bad. I'll miss this floofy guy. I pinned him just now and plan to frame him once he dries out. ❤️
