Congrats winner! 🥳 I will tag you in the comments!

And thank you all so much for the love and support. It truly means the world to me. 🩷🫶

The next one will be at 600 followers, since we are so close to 500 already (!!!!). But given that we likely have plenty of time, I am hoping to plan something a bit bigger since we will have hit a milestone!

Thanks for your patience, guys! I am doing the draw now!

Sorry guys, I've not had the best day and it's been a bit of an emotional whirlwind. I will draw for the give away after I've had some dinner. So in about an hour xx

I would love for you all to meet Rosita 🌹😍

My god, she is absolutely beautiful. Her chels. I can't get over her chels.

We were done acquiring spiders, but with Lucille being such a slow moulter I really needed to find a more viable option if I wanted Norman to have babies. The thought of losing him entirely, I just couldn't bear it.

We truly weren't going to get more, but we realized we have a few backup plans for Darth Vader, and absolutely none for Norman. Leave it to me to worry more about my husband's happiness than mine and completely miss that 😂🤣

A huge, big thank you to Chris at Pods & Spoods for allowing me one of your girls. I know she was part of your own breeding programme, and so when I was having my come apart, it was so sweet of you to offer. I didn't expect it, and I am so grateful 🩷🫶

Finding Lucille was hard enough. Girls go fast, so finding a subadult/mature girl was going to be a nightmare if you hadn't stepped in. In fact, it probably would have never happened. Especially when ensuring they aren't related.

She will be so loved, cherished, and spoiled rotten.

🔪 Butcher is the absolute sweetest.

From the day we got him, his attitude has been, "Oh, you want to hold me? Why, yes! Yes, I think I would like that!"

He def takes the trophy for being our sweetest boy 🏆

I just finished putting this together for a special girl due to arrive tomorrow. Any guesses on the name? 🤭🌹

While we are technically done with spiders for the moment (as in, not planning to get any new ones for a while), this girl will be Norman's new potential girlfriend.

Lucille has not moulted. She's still at i8, and has been for 61 days now. Her i7>i8 moult was also a slow burn. So this girl seems to just be a slow moulter. While we are so happy for her longevity, as we love her very much, this does make it highly unlikely they will be pairable. 🥲

We checked for her girly bits as well, just to be sure, since a lot of girls do mature at i10, and nothing to be seen. It was as smooth as a Barbie. This means she has at least 3 moults left. Meanwhile, Norman is already subadult.

If by some miracle her moults speed up, we will continue with her, but in the event she continues to be a slow burn, or they just do not like one another, a second spider was needed.

I've already seen her and am already in love. I am so in love, I may have gone overboard on her enclosure. 😍🥰
