IT’S HAPPENING!
Forgive me the dead plant I left inside (it died/dried up when I was on vacation/banished from home for over a month at the end of last year due to renovations).
What matters is that the Tliltocatl vagans female has dropped an egg sac!
FINALLY!
Now. To provide a bit more detail on this:
I’ve bought a male in summer 2022 and he matured around the end of August with the female molting about a month earlier (hard to tell she spends a lot of time underground).
I’ve attempted to pair them at the end of September and failed (the female retreated and remained unresponsive and I didn’t allow the male to wander into her burrow as he wasn’t drumming either).
A week later I attempted to pair them again and this time it all went perfectly with the male surviving.
From there I fed the female generously until she closed her burrow and disappeared later in October.
Unfortunately the male also died around that time for unknown reasons (I wasn’t around due to vacation time and by the time I returned he was already dead).
I waited patiently - regaining access to my place for good in late November I started to water her enclosure every two to three weeks depending on the state of the substrate - doing so carefully not to disturb her and not to collapse the burrow.
To my surprise the female emerged a bit over a week ago - around 10th of May. No egg sac at that time.
While I was kinda disappointed I noticed she was seriously FAT and she refused food when offered. I took the chance and watered her enclosure again - generously this time, soaking nearly half of the substrate on one side of the enclosure.
She remained outside until Saturday - at that time she did some excavating, webbed up the entrances the the hide and disappeared again.
Lo and behold! This morning I’ve found her as you can see in this photo.
Please note the absurdly deflated abdomen.
I’ve watered again today - causing her to retreat back to the hide.
Now we need to wait 30 days and hope she’ll take a good care of that sac.

Welcome home to my new little one! Meet Ember🔥❤️ Ember may be the most docile T I’ve ever met. (Gonna say her/she for the foreseeable future with optimism and my gut feeling until I can sex one of their moults!)
Ember is so docile she refused to leave my hand for half an hour despite my careful efforts (eventually I gently coaxed her onto a piece of bark and put her in the enclosure). She is now exploring (evidently looking like a ninja) and I had the honour of seeing her drink (she had just been shipped so I fully expected her to.)
[PSA: I do not advise handling tarantulas, she had just been shipped and she crawled onto my hand during a rehousing. I will not go out of my way to pick up my Ts but if they ever crawl on me I let them do their thing.]

Work in progress. B. auratum tarantula in a desert scene. I really am trying to capture how colorful deserts truly are.
So far done in pastel pencils and colored pencils on pastelmat.
