When you don't mind getting a male! My newly mm Phormictopus cancerides. #phormictopuscancerides #pcancerides #haitianbrownbirdeater #tomsbigspiders

One of my Phormictopus sp. Dominican violets after her recent molt. The pic honestly doesn't do her justice. #phormictopus #phormictopuscautusviolet #purpletarantula #tomsbigspiders #phormictopusspdominicanpurple

Just watching #kctarantulas live stream on YouTube where he fed his Phormictopus auratus, Tom. Mike reminded me that I forgot to post the photo of my juvenile showing off some of its adult colors. #phormictopusauratus #pauratus #tomsbigspiders

Aphonopelma anax young adult. Raised this little beauty from a tiny sling. I'm loving those adult colors. #aphonopelmaanax #aanax #tomsbigspiders

With my female recently molted, it was time to pair my adult Phidippus regius (Regal jumping spiders). It was incredibly cool to watch at first, but it's been over an hour now, and I'm starting to feel like some special kind of weirdo for watching two spiders bump nasties on a Sunday afternoon. *sigh* #phidippusregius #regaljumpingspider #tomsbigspiders

My Lasiodora itabunae feasting on a fat dubia roach. #lasiodora #lasiodoraitabunae #tomsbigspiders

After about 15 minutes of courtship, they did the deed! My adult female M. balfouri and the mature male from my communal made quite the pair. #mbalfouri #mbalfourimating #bluelegbaboon #tomsbigspiders

One of my female Harpactira pulchripes filling her face. LOVE this species. #hpulchripes #harpactirapulchripes #goldenbluelegbaboon #tomsbigspiders

My Catumiri parvums are growing so fast. Love these little guys. They've become quite bold after their latest molds. #catumiriparvum #cparvum #dwarftarantula #tomsbigspiders

Finally caught my Aphonopelma seemanni blue form out of its burrow (well, I might have enticed her out with a cricket...). I also got some footage for a quick husbandry video. #tomsbigspiders

One of my female C. cyaneopubescens (GBB) munching on a Mario worm. Got some footage of her eating for a feeding video. #ccyaneopubescens #gbb #colorfultarantula #tomsbigspiders

One of my Phormictopus sp. "Dominican purples" (AKA "cautus violets") at feeding time. #phormictopusspdominicanpurple #phormictopuscautusviolet #purpletarantula #tarantula #tomsbigspiders

One of my favorite tarantulas is my adult female Harpactira pulchripes. She is so laid back and always out in the open. Such a calm, sweet girl! #harpactirapulchripes #goldenbluelegbaboon #tarantula #tomsbigspiders

While shooting a video on my Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus slings, I managed to get a good photo of one of the stunning little buggers. What an awesome Christmas present from Billie! #tpsychedelicus #lsdearthtiger #tomsbigspiders
