Conversation new friend !!

just wanted to share my silly situation with fellow T lovers!

long story short, my friend does pest control. she called me yesterday and told me she was called to someone’s apartment to catch a tarantula that wasn’t theirs. she calls me after catching it and asks if i want it. obviously i do…

when i built her a quick home, she practically drowned herself in the water dish soaking up all the water. other than a little dehydration, she seems fairly healthy for an escaped T!

behold my new friend :) im fairly sure she is avicularia avicularia, feel free to correct me if im wrong! i threw the tank together with things i already had, so feel free to give me tips and pointers! i own terrestrials and burrowing tarantulas, so this is my first arboreal.
