β Thinking of doing a few raffles for 2025 β
Β£2 a number for the chance to win a 1 hour family session... Who'd like to get involved something like this?!
Let me know below! πππππIf there's enough interest I'll roll the first one out over the weekend!
Kaia will pick a name out of the bucket, this will be filmed so you all know it's legitimate βΊοΈ
Two types of tarantula when it comes to food π
One never misses a beat... The others like "ew"
Enjoy π

Managed to catch her coming out of the moult! She's now drying herself off and getting her wings straightened! β₯οΈ
Also another great feeder - still yet to be named as I'm not sure what sex it is yet.. So fire away some unisex names!
My Brazilian Red and White Tarantula - gorgeous colours on this one.. And again not yet fully grown! Literally catches the hopper as soon as it lands - this T has skills! π
No music for this one - Listen to Kaias reaction to it π she's so cute π

Feeding time for the tarantulas! Here's my daughters tarantula 'Ellie Sparkles' - a fantastic eater! She knew exactly where the cricket was but I'd been waiting for her to pounce for a few mins so I thought I'd speed the process up.. She got there before I did though π
Still got a lot of growing to do, but she will be a stunning gal when she's fully grown! π€β€οΈ

Lots and lots of legs!
A lot of people call millipedes 'centipedes'
Well there's a few massive differences between the two!
- the shape of their body: millipedes are tubular in shape, centipedes are flat.
- segments: millipedes are very similar to a shower hose/vacuum hose, centipedes have square segments
- legs: millipedes have 2 pairs of legs PER segment, centipedes have 1 pair
- toxicity: some millipedes release poisonous fluids as a way of defense, this is usually not harmful to humans. Centipedes are venomous as they are carnivores, they use their bite to inject venom into their prey. Some species can be quite harmful to humans but the smaller ones here in the UK are nothing to be afraid of!
π€ So now you know.. No excuses π
Video showing the awesome way the legs of a millipede move! This is my Giant Purple Millipede "Major" he's the longest pede I have.. As you can see in the footage.. He's a very loooong boy! β₯οΈ
Trick or treat....?
Muahahahaha Trick it is - for you guys! Meanwhile.. Princess Peach II is enjoying her treat!

Want to meet them?! Then get yourselves down to Norwood Green Village Fete 2024 tomorrow from 12pm!
First time I've managed to convince Atom to come on my hand and he danced! π What a guy!
He moulted last week and appears to have a missing pedipalp, but he seems to be happy enough β₯

It's the last Friday in June... So what are we going to do?!
Fun Fact Friday of course! π
Kaia loves this one just as much as I do! I haven't edited the video so it's quite long.. But gets cute at the end π
Here's Verde the Giant Hooded Katydid! This is one of the largest species of katydid in the world, found in Indonesia. Their wingspan is quite impressive, it actually reaches around 25cm not 30cm like I say in the video (sorry π) and although they can fly, it's more of a flutter from one branch to another.
