I hadn't seen either my Caribena versicolor or my Psalmopoeus irminia in quite a while. It's really not that uncommon for a
#tarantula to keep itself hidden way for what feels like impossibly long stretches of time but it seemed remarkably so this time.
I went to do a wellness check and discovered one VERY annoyed P. irminia and one VERY crunchy C. versicolor. It's a shame because the C. versicolor was always one of our favorites. We picked it up as a tiny little sling 6.5 years ago from the Show Me Reptiles Tarantula Takeover in St. Louis, MO - where I also met #TarantulaKat and
#Petko of
#theDarkDen.
I can't believe we're down to only 3 #tarantulas from our peak of 17. Tarantulas were an intense
#SpecialInterest that lasted years.
