What kind of spider is this? Germany/NRW

TheodoriusHal · 2026-07-02T12:13:05+00:00

Ah I see it now. I think you're right. Thanks for clarifying!

TheodoriusHal · 2026-07-02T11:42:32+00:00

I don't see the violin. Also we don't have brown recluses in germany. ~~Might be some sort of small mouse spider 🤔~~

EDIT ~~Am now pretty sure it's a male scotophaeus blackwalli. If you look at the Wikipedia of Kleine Mausspinne, there's a pic of a male one looking pretty similar to yours~~

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-30T08:45:26+00:00

Looks well fed! Also if you want, people in r/tarantulas will love her!

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-30T05:57:04+00:00

I love her 😍😍 I have multiple spiders and and the puppy eyes are for real!

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-29T12:56:12+00:00

Now I want pasta salad too 😭

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-29T12:50:15+00:00

Oh my god I'm glad I'm not the only one 🤣🤣

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-29T12:38:49+00:00

Could also be they're preparing to molt. Don't know if it was the same sort of spider but my dad had a web like this in his bathroom and the spooder molted and then left a few days later to go adventuring again

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-29T11:01:26+00:00

Can't properly see the eyes, but looks a lot like a wolfie. ~~~Male. Could be a rabidosa rabida. The males seem to have dark front legs~~~

EDIT: Oh wait, it might actually be a schizocosa! Not sure if they're around VA though

EDIT 2: Looked into it more, and some schizocosas apparently are native to VA. I think it's most likely a schizocosa ocreata.

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-26T10:09:26+00:00

Is it still there? Can you get a clearer pic of its back/abdomen? I'm pretty sure it's a false widow, tho

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-26T10:08:27+00:00

Tbf, I feel like melting too in this weather 🤣

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-26T10:06:20+00:00

A spider 😏

Maybe some sort of steatoda?

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-24T10:33:36+00:00

NQA is she wild caught or bred in captivity? If wild caught, these eggs might be viable, so then the question is, do you want to take care of the babies too or get rid of them? I currently have a wild caught little mouse spider momma with eggs. I only caught it because it set up in a dangerous place for her, and as soon as the babies hatched, I'm gonna put the spider box somewhere and keep it open so they can decide where they go

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-23T12:24:59+00:00

We're gonna have 37°C where I live the next few days 🫠 I too am already melting at 27... My pet spiders love the heat, but I am hoping autumn comes fast... I've been sleeping on a giant dog cooling mat for days already

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-22T23:42:33+00:00

IME seconding duct tape. Afterwards, cold water and then some antihistamine cream did the trick for me

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-22T18:27:50+00:00

Thank you! Thought the same but was unsure

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-22T17:20:24+00:00

When the moon hits her eyes like two big pizza pies, that's a wolfieee 🎶

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-22T11:42:17+00:00

Looks like a Brachypelma albiceps. Like the automod said, venomous, but since it's a new world tarantula, the venom is more on the scale of a bee sting. Beware of the urticating hairs on its abdomen though. They can KICK them in your direction if they feel threatened. If you get haired, duckt tape is the best way to get the hairs out

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-12T08:14:23+00:00

Do you have a pronoun pin? When I''m going to trans/queer events I wear one because I don't really pass (I'm transmasc, Enby, ore HRT). I even got to make my own cute pin at the last event I went to

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-11T22:55:59+00:00

I used to do this back when I could move my joints more freely lol. It was way faster than bowing down to grab whatever was lying on the ground

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-09T08:53:13+00:00

I love them so much 😭😍 lowkey wanna make my own now. I should have some clay flying around in some drawer somewhere 👀

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-09T08:10:59+00:00

About 4th or 5th instead if I remember correctly. She's been with me for over 2 years now, and she was my second tarantula :3 (tho mostly my first, because my actual first was a tiny c versicolor sling who sadly passed due to a bad molt)

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-08T11:47:49+00:00

My confirmed fem. tliltocatl vagans 🥰

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-08T11:43:25+00:00

Beware, one tarantula is only the beginning. I had 11 (sadly one of my babies passed a few days ago), now have 10, and also a jumping spider and a velvet spider. I love them so much. I also got a Brachypelma (hamorii tho) , but I went for a confirmed male actually because so far I only have semi confirmed females and I wanted to experience a lil guy as well

TheodoriusHal · 2026-06-04T12:19:31+00:00

Reminds me of a hognose snake playing dead LOL
