First of the season...

Handled this guy for a little bit and set him free away from his predators (huge toads).

Their mating season starts soon, should see dozens of them beside our house in a week or so. Fun little guys!

Decent size, about 5.5" across. I'm nearly 6'6" so he doesn't look so big in my hand haha.

Thanks! My enclosures are full up at the moment with the shovel-nose and ben the scorpion.

Gona pick up another enclosure Sunday and hopefully add a new pet to my stable.

No aggression whatsoever. He/she was way chill. When I went to release it, it didn't want to get off me. Kept scurrying up my forearm.

Snagging another enclosure or two tomorrow. See if I can raise a baby tarantula.
I don't feel right capturing an adult.
