P scrofa in its new enclosure.
Sits out in the open most of the time, sometimes doesn’t move from exact spot for 1/2 day, slow moving.

Our h chilense.
We’ve had it a week, got it from the guy at repticon who sold us our chilean copper.
It’s a cool spiderlling, even though I’m new to t’s I can see the reason people say they’re fun to have.
Most of the time it’s active and walking around. The 2 times I’ve had the top of it’s enclosure off it crawled right out and over my hand.
It was fast enough that the second time when I moved it from the cup it was in when I bought it to its temporary enclosure we did it in the bathtub, it still climbed up my sleeve and onto my shoulder before my wife got it and put it in its enclosure. It’s certainly is bold and inquisitive like I’ve read they are.
It has a tarantula crib ordered.
The guy I bought it from, classic jurassic exotics, thought this is a male, because the others there, he had 5 or 6 others, were maybe slightly bigger but didn’t have color like this 1, so he thinks it might be maturing faster because it’s a male.
I know people prefer the females, this 1 already has personality though and I’m good if it’s m or f.

h chilense in its new enclosure.
I got an enclosure that’s slightly bigger for its size, 4 by 4 by 6, but it’s so active, always crawling around, walking the perimeter along the ground and on the wall, it can grow into it too.
It seems to like it.

Update on the girl I had. I traded her to a keeper who has tons of tarantulas and was willing to find her a male. I wanted to see her bred since she was getting older. So she’ll keep me updated on that. She had a cresty in her stock that matched perfectly to my projects and I needed to freshen up my line anyway.
It’s funny though a month after and I’m seeing some more people with these. It makes me happy they are an under appreciated species.
