The Baby is Here!

That's right, boys and girls, Sasha Bella has arrived! I tried to update via mobile, but it wouldn't work. Sasha and I are home now, though.

Sasha, in her daddy's arms... not even a full day old!

We are really happy to be healthy enough to be home already. We are thrilled to be out of that hospital! It was impossible to rest! I have never been disturbed SO much at a hospital (even with my other births).

New Baby

I'm going to have a human baby!

OMG Spider Virtual Pet

Oh this is so friggin' cool!

Play with Spider! It will follow your pointer or you can drag it around. You can even give it bugs to eat! Awesome!

Chaos & Anansi

Since my last post, I have moved into my own apartment. I am in the process of a divorce.

I changed out the substrate (dirt) for Chaos the other day. I had never held her. She was VERY calm... after she stopped attacking the paintbrush I use to nudge the spiders.

Meanwhile, Anansi has a bald butt. I suspect it was fumes in the linen closet where they were staying or perhaps just because I had the two habitats right next to each other. Either way, I want to give her some time to de-stress before I mess with her habitat. I even had a scare where I thought she was dead. They aren't going back into the linen closet, just in case. And they aren't being set right next to each other any more, either. They are both eating well, though, so that's a good sign.

Chaos seemed so small once she was in my hand... they're both very big girls, though. I hope Anansi gets back to normal and/or molts soon so I can feel okay holding her again.

Chaos Molted

My Grammostola rosea (Chilean Rose Hair) finally molted! I didn't get to see it happen, but she did put down a lot of web for it. I tried to check the exuvium for signs of sex, but the part I need to see is missing!
