Looking west towards the maroon bells
Had to evict this guy this morning, his condo got buried in the infill to finsh grade for drainage before deck goes in.
Not the biggest but front runner for ugliest we have found out here.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...59200d557e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...61a0b76e2d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ac108eaa99.jpg
Nice! I heard that it is the Oklahoma Spider migration in South East Colorado this month, so apparently thousands of those will be crawling around looking for mates in SE Co.
My daughter just got a Pink-toed tarantula for her birthday yesterday.
Here it is, and her holding it. She went in and held it by herself with zero encouragement from me.

Amazing critters, to be admired from afar and approved for full auto inside 15ft.
Lovely spiders!
I know first hand two things that might be useful:
If not securely snapped under that bitty plastic tap on one side only, the top hatch of that style cage can easily be pushed open by a medium sized garden snail.
A tarantula is smart enough to learn where the door is & how it works.
They're real casual pets. Our daughters like to sit on her shoulder as she wandered around the house.Quote:

It also works in reverse, as the daughter found out. A cat can flip it open, then use the tarantula like a hockey puck. Which you might notice the cat playing with, when you bring your daughter home from school. A happy resolution is not in the stars for said arachnid, or tears to follow from the daughter. .Quote:
