Seems fine; inspecting a parcel of plastic parts for a Voron printer
The other ferret sleeps gracefully
Is that a ferret? What a cutie pie!
Yes it is! I'll forward the compliment to her
Just gave Bob 3 crickets. She recently molted and got her black coat back which is nice. Once she's fed and calm, I'll have to change the soil in her terrarium. I'll spare you from sharing a picture as I'm sure not everyone here wants to see black tarantula in the comments.
I want to see Bob!
The phone camera isn't all that great at capturing the blackness. The species is called Brazilian Black/Grammostola Pulchra. They are generally docile so safe to handle, though Bob tends to get scared and curl up to a ball when I need to handle her, so I rarely do. She's ~11 years old at this point.
What a pretty girl! I've never heard of the species before, she doesn't look like she has stinging hairs at all, does she?
Thank you :) She's at her most striking now that her coat is fresh. Like most new world tarantulas she has urticating hairs. It's more noticeable right before molting as she will get a noticeable bald spot on her abdomen. I've never seen her use them though, she prefer just running away, which is also what the species is known for.
It's been a decade since I last checked up the market, but it's a relatively rare species that can only be bought through breeders. They are closely related to their much more famous "cousin" Chilean Rose/Grammostola Rosea
They want to be outside, but it's too hot...
My cat Rune is doing fine. Although his head looks a bit rough because he keeps getting into fights with other cats. But since he only has scratches on his head I assume he at least wins his fights 😬
One of mine won't stop pottying outside of the box and it's making me crazy! Others are fine and sweet and good, and really the bad one is sweet and lovey too, but I'm about to lose my fucking mind.
