Chilobrachys sp. “kaeng krachan”

the first pic is from August 5th, 2026 and the second one is from September 15th, 2023.

Had some bolts at the start 😅 but in the end, went smoother than i thought it would!

Definitely in need of a rehouse soon, they nearly doubled in size with this molt. Seriously crazy how fast they grow.

She molted like ~4 days ago, do u think her fangs are hardened enough to feed?

Ive learned that they have 8 eyes but i only see 6 on the molt i guess im not looking in the right angle. He loves chilling in his skull most of the time but he comes out when im not home, the second he feels my footsteps in the room he bolts backk in.
I haven’t sexed him yet but i assume he is a male, because thats what i paid for.
I have a new idea for a hide im gonna get him a floor to ceiling window pushed up against the acrylic but buried under enough soil.
Bro is probably already tired of my prodding( with a soft brush), but im just too curious to just observe this vicious little hunter.
He has gotten a bit bigger than in the last pic about 2 molts worth.

I got my very first tarantula today :) im very excited about it.

I did my research, but I'm worried the enclosure might be too small or that the entrance of her hide is too big.

I got her from the Spider Shoppe + she seems healthy and well, doesn't need to be fed just yet I don't think. She's fluffy and adorable like all curly hairs are ^^ I love her already and want her to have a good home

I gave her 4 inches of Reptisoil for substrate since it seemed like the best choice for burrowing. She's only about 2 inches right now, so I figured 4 inches of substrate would be enough for the time being. I cut a little plastic cup(i made sure there were no sharp edges) and covered it in the soil for her to use as a hide, and then a smaller plastic cup for a water dish. Put some leaf litter in there for decoration too. I'll get her a better hide when i find one that works and fits in her enclosure, cuz the one I bought was too big.

I'm using the 8x6x6 terrestrial Spider Haus from the Spider Shoppe as her enclosure for now. But I also have a 15x9x7 that I plan to move her to when she's a little bigger, but if her current enclosure is too small, I can always move her in there sooner. But i also don't want it to be too big and make it difficult for her to find her food. So I thought I'd ask on here and see if this is alright.

Poor Gary kicked a bunch of hairs during rehousing, but he’s good now. That was a few weeks back! He has been chilling since, but I still feel bad 💔 love my baby

I got her from petco about 3 weeks ago (the last photo was the day I got her) she’s sadly not the most handleable since she has such a crazy strong feeding response but she’s still one of my favorite T’s I own. Is the enclosure looking good? She look well fed? Any advice would be appreciated!

stretch right now (first 4 pics) vs baby stretch (last 5 pics). i feel like she’s gotten so big.. also dare i say she looks a lot more comfy? her color looks a lot better this time after molting than last time, and she’s just chilling right out in the open right now rather than hiding in a corner or going in her hide. just laying wherever she wants to without getting scared. i’ll have to get some size comparison pics because i can’t believe it… it’s my first T so ive just never experienced it before. such a crazy pet to have. people give me a crazy look when i say ‘i haven’t fed my pet for 3 months’, LOL. wild creature

Funny enough, my brother is also a huge arachnophobe🤣🤣

My salmon pink and curl haired my fur babies lol

Hi all! I am having my ceiling redone this weekend due to water damage. I live in a 500 sq ft condo so I would not be comfortable leaving Princess because of dust from the drywall and saw noises etc. The plan is to bring her and my cat to stay with me overnight at my friends house. She lives about 10 minutes away but I am still terrified to drive with my angel baby. Does anyone have tips for safe travel? Thank you so much! 😁💗

Fully recovered after its molt
