spoon my m.balfouri

Marigold likes to climb around and pretend to be arboreal when She is Not which drives me crazy but it gave me an opportunity to see some interesting grooming behavior

Girls night!!

Candy came out while I was misting her enclosure (came right into the water spray, completely unfazed). Kali was already sitting out, begging for food with her big wet puppydog eyes. Lucky just molted the other nights and needs a few more days for its exoskeleton to harden

Linus was very happy to stay above ground during dinner tonight @kirbyville

Feeding time in the balfouri cave 🕷️

Watch out for the spider ⬇️

Madame Balfouri is an impressive sight when she steps out of the cave in her eight black stockings.

had a nice conversation with a customer and he gave me 20 free tarantulas so here's a balfouri communal

Monocentropus balfouri, una de las pocas especies de tarántula que vive en comunidad 😨

Random ass headcanons I have for Miguel because I like him

Miguel was originally right-handed but trained himself to become ambidextrousness.

He really really hates garlic.

Doesn't have playlists and just listens to songs on shuffle.

Is a cat person. (Finds them relatable)

Has a near perfect memory.

Pays for most of the spider-society's rent.

Can speak to spiders.

If Miguel doesn't take certain medicine he will become more animalistic and outwardly spider-like.

Miguel is 27 years old.

Babies and old people love him.

The spider part of him is a female wolf, m. balfouri, black widow, Goliath birdeater hybrid plus a few other various species.

Finds dancing very attractive.

Is among one of the physically strongest Spider-Men.

Horses creep him out.

Uses he/it/she pronouns but only Lyla knows this.

Had a whole gender crisis when it found out it was 50% female.

Spider adjacent things find Miguel hot.

(Yes that includes Spider-Men)

Likes head scratches.

Has to fight the constant urge to put the spider kids on his back and take care of them.

Miguel is bisexual. Like pretty much all other Peters lmao.

Jokes in her head about how Lyla is technically a yandere.

IS. A. GIRL. DAD.

Well that's it for part 1. Most likely have part 2 within a month.

i wish i was a tarantula in my hole. cozy. only disturbed by the occasional snack

[poppys-pets-and-arts]

Gave Lucky a massive worm (compared to their own tiny body). Kept watch during the feeding, just in case I'd overestimated them, but my little killer pulled through<3

SG Tarantulas should be blue or yellow/orange. Some possibilities;

Cyriopagopys lividus

Chilobrachys sp. (i don't know what sp stands for)

Lampropelma violaceopes

Monocentropus balfouri

Avicularia geroldi

Poecilotheria metallica

Pterinopelma sazimai

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens

Haplopelma lividum

Avicularia avicularia

Pterinochilus murinus

Chilobrachys natanicharum

Harpactira pulchripes

Haploclastus Devamatha

Dolichothele Diamantinensis

Omothymus violaceopes

Avicularia minatrix

(Baseline Tarantulas would propably be Heteroscodra maculata or peacock. Also of note is that Tarantulas spins webs, which at least 3 of these do. Certainly more, but i've only checked 4)

I personally do not feel like the creators of Beast Wars put this much thought into it, but these are all lovely options

Had a nightmare last night, that made me not wanting to wake up, so I accidentally slept for 9½ hours TwT

I'll try to keep it short lol

I was going to school and brought some of my tarantulas with me for a presentation and when I opened the lid to the enclosure of my Balfouri, she bit me, so I closed the lid quickly and placed it back carefully to the others. I started to feel dizzy after a while and my body started to hurt, kinda like when you have a high fever. So I had to call my mom, so she would get me out of school to a doc. I got an injection and started to feel better- or good enough, to get my tarantulas from school to bring them home again. But in the time I was gone, a btch out of my class, released all tarantulas somewhere in the school building and didn't want to tell me where. I first thought btw, she only released the Balfouri, while I was searching in panic for her, until I found another one of mine. At this point, my blood boiled up. I went to that btch, grabbed her by the collar and punched her repeatedly onto the nose and eyes as hard as I could for revenge (until she stopped moving lol... didn't have one of these dreams for a LONG time... I think that proves, how much I love my babies) When my anger calmed a little down, I kept searching and grabbed some cups to find and catch the other t's. The most hurting find was my Irminia, my first tarantula who has the biggest place in my heart. The btch interrupted her, while she was molting, so while she was crawling, the old skin of her abdoman was still haning onto the new one and I could see that she wouldn't survive this, due to the disturbance... My heart was shattered. I still collected her carefully to put her in a box and ran around the building to find the other ones... (that's why I didn't wanna wake up cuz I wanted to find all of them first lol) I've never been more happy to look over to the shelf, knowing that all my babies are safe and sound. They'll all get a nice treat today 🥺🤧❤
