Diggon on the boehmei. They were my favorite T colorwise but also my worst kickers.

I've kept inverts for the better part of my life. Got my first rosea when I was a kid. Had that girl for 10+ years then gave her to my niece who loved her for the next 10 years or so until she finally passed after ~20 years in human care(she was an adult when we acquired her - almost certainly wild caught). She was a sweetheart but the only cool rosea I ever owned, the rest have been demon spawn.

I'd like to get back into inverts some day but I'll probably stick with old world tarantulas. When I was younger the hairs never phased me but over the years I've become more sensitive to them. I had a small crawshayi that I sold when she was around 2 inches and still kick myself over that one. She was a terrible display animal but the most fun during feeding time.

Never took many pictures but I have a couple of the last batch of inverts I raised. The tarantulas were probably 2nd or 3rd instar when I got them - itty bitty. I typically kept my inverts bone dry for all but the biggest humidity lovers - they got corner and hide mists daily.

Brachypelma boehmei


Lasiodora parahybana(this girl got to nearly 6 inches in her first year)



I know this is a spider post but scorpions are fun keepers too, if less exciting..

Heterometrus sp.


Hottentotta trilineatus


Hadogenes troglodytes


Centruroides hentzi(find these crawling all over my wood pile)
