pulchra

Of course, I startled her by trying to get a better angle for a photo...

g.pulcra sling. I know it's most likely too small but it was basically asking for it.

🤣

Well if you're gonna put *water* down here, you can take your window view and stuff it, human. Thinks she can manage with just two feet, hah.

G. Pulchra Ventral Sexing? Admittedly, this is an awful pic but I just got this guy (I think it's male at least). I wanted a second opinion just to see if I'm seeing it correctly. Thanks!

Pretty sure that's the rear one quarter of Miss Lava on her back...and a bit of molting mat visible in the background too. 🤞🤞

Female G pulchra. Was like half an inch across when I first got it, now she's like 7 inches across. She's a bit skittish but docile and never even kicks hairs. This is one of my favorite things about tarantulas. If you get a female, then with minimal effort you can keep it for the next 20-30 years

About 3 inches or so currently. I recently Confirmed that she's a female from her last molt. I already have a much bigger female and a male but I can't have too many of these guys. She's a bit skittish but still calm if picked up and never kicks hairs, so typical pulchra temperament.

Drinking from water droplets

PS: macro magic is a new ig handle I made. It's my photo. Pretty chill but can bolt suddenly sometimes. She doesn't even know she has urticating hairs lol

Fine, whatever, you can have the stick.

You can almost tell they're "cousins" 🤣

The molt DLS is 3", too small to tell still? It's only been two months since the last molt, I was really surprised.

1 week after molt

succesfull molt

~3 in juvie G. pulchra. Sorry for the blurry pic!

Last seen in early February. Out today.

My first tarantula. Bought when she was less than an inch across. She's amazing, pretty and very docile. Probably my favorite alongside my T blondi.
