      Brachypelma sp., when observed to have bald patches, is usually a sign of stress but some fungals can do it as well. Youre fine as long as you dont observe exudate or crusting appearing similar to impentigo in humans.

    Zelda was so gentle with her prey, it almost makes you wonder what goes on in her mind, because in my opinion that was an “oh, my food god has delivered sustenance, I must dance to give thanks”

I can't help myself when it comes to research and learning. I hope one day I can break free from the fear and own my own!

Standard enclosure, enough for her to dig, and a water dish. She barely moved, and even when I gave her food she never bolted. Definitely docile enough and calm to get your toes wet

    I'm not a spider person, but am amazed with the way you deal with your 'pets'. Wanted to pass along a story my uncle told me that would have happened in the 1950's or1960's. Anyway, he was in the grocery store and reached into a box of bananas and a tarantula jumped out onto his arm and bit him. He was ok afterward, said the wound drained for a little bit afterward, but he went on to survive the experience ok, but did have a little scar on his arm where the 2 fangs had penetrated his skin.

Shame shame shame, only kidding but they do need a place to hide so that they feel secure and that helps them not be so aggressive also.
