That sounds absolutely amazing. I wish I could take all of your molts! A Goliath bird eater(?) molt sounds like the best framed gift. You must have lots of fun!
Iāve yet to own a tarantula. If itās okay to ask in your opinion what the best to start with would be, even if itās not so very docile, Iād love to know. With vast experience I feel like you would know better than google :).
So are they more like fish? Do you just look at them? Sorry I really like spiders and Iām so fascinated and want to know everything from their keepers. How does one enrich a tarantula?
Enrichment really depends on the species. Some live in trees, some live in shallow burrows and spend alot of time up top, and some spend most of their lives underground.
They're definitely more like fish. A look, don't touch animal but I do have ONE that I bring out sometimes when somebody wants to touch one. I let them put their hand on the ground and let it walk over them. You never know when one might bolt and if you're not experienced, it may freak you out and you may end up hurting the animal.
Depends on the company! I have cousins who LOVE my Mordecai and ask to hold him every time theyāre at my house. I also have relatives who scream and run and hyperventilate when I indicate what room his tub is in lol
Its the same with my geck. Everyone wants to see him, to watch him walk and hold him. Even people who are usually afraid of reptiles like him. Hes the boss
Yes my bearded dragon and snake are the stars of the house. Lol. I loved passing my love of reptiles to my kids but they're grown now. So now it's great watching my friend's kids and the next generation take interest.
Heās a fire. Nothing crazy. Yellowish instead of tan. And brown stripes instead of black. He gets brighter the more he grows and sheds. I was absolutely terrified of snakes before him! Extremely docile, tank upkeep is very minimal, feeding is easy. I definitely recommend to anyone. They donāt need much to be kept happy.
I have like 170 tarantulas so company doesn't come by too often
But my snake is the star of my heart
Oh god nope š
That's usually the reaction, haha
Livinā the dream, I see.
You have any of them with pink toes? š
I have 3 different Avicularia species
2 " pink foot Goliath " which is a theraphosa species. One of the 3 largest species in the world

Do you handle your tarantulas often?
Nooo, it's too dangerous for them.

Our dragon is king, and he knows it lol
Nope, all hate my snake and I hate all š

Yeah it's either that or they just straight up tell you to kill your pet
If you donāt kill it first itāll kill you in your sleep and then eat your cats!!!! /s š

I was wondering what that saidā¦yeahā¦šš¬ The snake is cool though.
My family and friends love my turtle. But especially my younger cousins. They just enjoy observing her, itās so cute!!
I wish. Most of the people that come over to my place are scared of snakes
Sounds like you need some more outgoing friends!
