    I love this species, sadly they seem to be kinda hard to get in the past few years.

      Yes. They have been getting a little hard to find. I see them pop up from time to time but not regularly.

    I'm a little late to the party on this one, but great video, Alex! I've come to love my E. murinus. She's actually out a lot more often since her last molt, and such stunning species! She looks like an OW, I think, and sure as hell acts like one. Only one of my Ts I've ever seen in full fangs-out threat pose. I tried to feed her and the roach p---ed her off. She slapped at it repeatedly. It was very impressive and quite intimidating. She's definitely not a hugger. Awesome way to showcase yours. A beautiful specimen!

    One of the classics :) As far as I know, they were likely available during the late '80s as they were included in P. de Vosjoli's 1991 Arachnomania book. Still not a species I would personally get, but I do like their look. Very fitting for Halloween. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

    • @TarantulaHaven
      @TarantulaHaven  3 роки тому

      Boy there’s a blast from the past. Philippe De Vosjoli, I had his books on boa constrictors and chameleons back in the late 80’s.
      Yes, I only have the one E. murinus but I do get enjoyment from her because she’s not always a pet hole. 🤓👍🏼

    Luckily, it was only a small auratum that gave you your first bite. Does not sound to have been too bad.
    A skelleton T. perfectly goes with skulls. It was cool how she went through the eye socket.
