IT’S HAPPENING!

Forgive me the dead plant I left inside (it died/dried up when I was on vacation/banished from home for over a month at the end of last year due to renovations).

What matters is that the Tliltocatl vagans female has dropped an egg sac!

FINALLY!

Now. To provide a bit more detail on this:

I’ve bought a male in summer 2022 and he matured around the end of August with the female molting about a month earlier (hard to tell she spends a lot of time underground).

I’ve attempted to pair them at the end of September and failed (the female retreated and remained unresponsive and I didn’t allow the male to wander into her burrow as he wasn’t drumming either).

A week later I attempted to pair them again and this time it all went perfectly with the male surviving.

From there I fed the female generously until she closed her burrow and disappeared later in October.

Unfortunately the male also died around that time for unknown reasons (I wasn’t around due to vacation time and by the time I returned he was already dead).

I waited patiently - regaining access to my place for good in late November I started to water her enclosure every two to three weeks depending on the state of the substrate - doing so carefully not to disturb her and not to collapse the burrow.

To my surprise the female emerged a bit over a week ago - around 10th of May. No egg sac at that time.

While I was kinda disappointed I noticed she was seriously FAT and she refused food when offered. I took the chance and watered her enclosure again - generously this time, soaking nearly half of the substrate on one side of the enclosure.

She remained outside until Saturday - at that time she did some excavating, webbed up the entrances the the hide and disappeared again.

Lo and behold! This morning I’ve found her as you can see in this photo.

Please note the absurdly deflated abdomen.

I’ve watered again today - causing her to retreat back to the hide.

Now we need to wait 30 days and hope she’ll take a good care of that sac.

one of my curly hair t's molted today and is a mature male now 😭 i raised him from the tiniest of slings (only 1/4"!!). he was actually one of the very first tarantulas i ever owned!! when i started keeping tarantulas i bought 3 slings and he was one of them ❤️

#his name is vax'ildan #and my other curly hair is a female named vex'ahlia #apparently mature males of this species can still live 1-2 years so hopefully he sticks around for a while still #but its always a sad day when a tarantula turns out to be a male and has its final molt 😪 #he was literally as big as a grain of rice when i got him and now look #tarantula #tarantulablr #curly hair tarantula #tliltocatl albopilosus

My wife and I finally got into the arachnid game recently, adding this beautiful little Curly Hair Tarantula to our family! Obtained at the 2023 NY Metro Reptile Expo, this Tliltocatl albopilosus is native to areas of the rainforest in Nicaragua and Costa Rica and is an opportunistically burrowing species. It’s also a great starter spider, as Curly Hairs are highly adaptable to humidity and temperature changes, feed readily on commercially available crickets and superworms, and are typically docile.

As for her name, the Breaking Bad superfan in me had to go with Lydia – a reference to the woman Todd Alquist becomes obsessed with and the tarantula he keeps after murdering Drew Sharp. 🕷️

My mature male T.albo, Vax'ildan, died today :( He was one of the three tarantulas I got when I first started keeping them back in 2020. He matured out in November, and males can live anywhere from a few weeks to a full year once they mature, so he lived another 4 months which isn't too bad. I'll miss this floofy guy. I pinned him just now and plan to frame him once he dries out. ❤️

#he pretty much stopped eating once he matured and kept making sperm webs and pacing around his enclosure #so i figured he wasnt going to last long #meanwhile my other t.albo is a female and could possibly live into her 20s lol #tarantula #spiderblr #tarantulablr #tliltocatl albopilosus #curly hair tarantula #mytarantulas #spider
