I wanna introduce one of my oldest tarantula, an eight-year old Samar Cave Tarantula (Selenocosmia samarae). She was staying with a friend til i got back from my overseas work and man, she's an oldie and a fattie lol
This was her during arrival day, looking scrawny and helpless.
Here she is now, fat as a cow (notice the shiny butt)
Love it how her short body-hair can cause a shiny reflection
Warning: NEVER handle/pick-up an Old World Tarantula by force or against its will.
This one here decided it wants to go out, i just opened her enclosure, she crawled out and i let her walk on my hand in her own volition. No stress, no harm done. Again, always be safe.
Photo is to show how big she is now, 5 inches with a nice spread.
She's not as defensive/aggressive as compared to her other native cousin, Orphnaecus sp. but they are skittish if startled.
Happy 8-legged Monday guys!
Oh i've just been told that S.samarae is now classified as Orphnaecus sp. Samar @_@
Lol, it does get a little annoying when they decide to change the name on you But otherwise a nice looking spider
Wow! What a beauty!
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
And beautiful fangs lol
