Another First For Me

[Tongue_Flicker]

Got my first arboreal T, a 5" female Tapinauchenius gigas that i named Sequioa. Traded one sugar glider for her and she is officially my most expensive tarantula in terms of value. (She normally costs around $77 whereas a glider would only cost $55 in our currency)

Here she is upon arrival:

In my infamous, transferring & sexing box

On unfamiliar walls

Half an hour later, she's loving the camouflage

P.S.

This is all your fault GBB! Lol

Haha! Got a fishing spider to you know but i've never tried giving it a live fish coz the enclosure size won't allow it lol

nice T. gigas looks happy in its enclosure(if ever a tarantula had a happy face)
 
great thing bout Ts is they live long and you my friend may have a long term companion

I have turtles, axolotls, sugar gliders and a cloud rat that surpasses the average 10 years of a T

Good luck with longevity. Thankfully i'm only in my mid-20's haha

well I own 3 tarantulas (b. vagans, b. albo, and A local Philippine tarantula of the orphnaecus genus) the albo is still 3 inches, vagans is 4 inches and the orph is still 2 inches and im not even 20 yet . oh and I own a  2 ft long reticulated python and used to own a green bronzeback rat snake

I'm curious about how long the native T species here could live? I doubt they'll live as long as the red-knees
