I’m happy to announce that Tiffany, our famous tarantula, Rosie’s sister, gave birth to hundreds of babies successfully.<\/p>\n

It was her first time but everything went well. For the past month Tiffany has been doing a great job looking after her babies in the egg sac.<\/p>\n

After coming back from the movie The Amazing Spider-Man we decided to open the egg sac. Nothing about the movie but it was the right timing. Tiffany is always a sweet girl but when it comes to protecting her babies she shows me her fangs. It took a while for us to remove the egg sac by distracting her with some juicy high protein treats.<\/p>\n

This was Tiffany before she got gravid.<\/p>\n

Some trailblazers stepping out of the nest to explore the world.<\/p>\n

Now the eyes can be easily seen before body turns dark.<\/p>\n

Little baby fangs. The tenderest moment of these killing weapons.<\/p>\n

Spiderlings are only about 5 millimeters.<\/p>\n

Spiderlings are moving slowly and very fragile. Now they do not have to feed until they grow to the next stage. Actually they are not able to kill a prey until their body gets more developed.<\/p>\n

In the wild, spiderlings at this stage are totally vulnerable and make the easiest meal for all insectivores. Survival rate can be lower than 10% in some areas. But in here these pink babies have nothing to be worried about. I cannot wait to feed them their first bug and let you meet them soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
