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.
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.

I want to see Bob!

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?
