Say Helo to Gaia my tarantula

 Say Hello To Gaia

Gaia is my Lasiodora parahybana Tarantula she was my 3rd tarantula.
She is a terrestrial from Brazil with type 1 and 3 urticating hairs that she uses as one of her defence mechanisms. She is argued to be one of the top 4 biggest tarantulas that we know of and can grow to her full size after just 2 yrs and can live up to 15 yrs.
The Lasiodora parahybana can get 8-11 inches (20-28 cm) and I just can't wait for Gaia to become an adult. Gaia is a spicy little girl right now she has alot of sass, altho tarantulas often changes they demeanor after each molt which in my opinion just make them more interessting. The Lasiodora parahybana is said to be a good beginner tarantula just be careful with the urticating hairs, their wenom is not considerd medically significant but the bite it self from a tarantula this big would not be plessant. 



The reason I chose to write about Gaia today is becasuse I am going to rehouse her and I wanted to share this with you, I am not rehousing her because she is getting to big for her enclosuer. In fact her enclosuer is a good size for her at least for one more molt. But I have another tarantula who need her enclosure more. And as long as i can monitor Gaia and make sure she gets her food a bigger enclosure wont hurt her.

One of the good things about Tarantulas is that they can be very cheap pets for many reasons they are not a pet you take to the vet, actually most vet's would not know what to do or how to help you with your tarantula. They dont get sick normally there are ofc a few things that can make your tarantula ill but nothing a vet could fix sadly. And except for the tarantula it self which some of them are exspensive the enclosure dirt and hide can be very easy and cheap to obtain. They dont need you to frequently change their enclosuer unless you get mold or have to rehouse. 
Now lets rehouse Gaia 


(We got her in a catch cup)

I brought my tarantula stuff, the interior, dirt, moss and sand then put together a new enclosure for her.
And I think it turned out realy good and looks pretty. which is very good cuz Gaia is a not one of those tarantulas that messes up her enclosure.

What do you think ? Did it turn out good ? 
If you want to look closer on the pictures you can click the photo and it will come up bigger for you. 

So when I was bussi doing tarantula stuff Mille though it would be fun to lie around in the dirt bin ....

I did film the rehouse and will try to make a youtube video of it so if you are interessted in seeing that when it comes out make sure to subscribe to my Youtube Channel. 
I hope you liked this blog and that learning about Gaia was fun cuz I would love to intruduse you to my other spiders and animals <3 

Now I have to go over this blog and check my spelling :P Then take Mille for a walk. 
Thank you for reading and for your time It realy makes me happy that someone reads my blog. 
See you soon <3

Diary ?

 Diary ? So, if you know me, you know that I am quiet these days, and its not the first time I "disapear". Normally when i dis0apear it's because I don't feel good mentally.  This time that was not the case, I just needed to not think about social media. But then something happend.  Mentally I am doing so much better, but my physical health did something wierd. I have foggy head aches, nausa terribe balance and it feels like my brain is suffacating.  I am tired and sluggish ALL THE TIME.  I should see my doctor and I will.  But I am scared to be told that I am fine and that he can't find anything wrong with me. Cuz thats just how it goes 99% of the time.  I am hoping that I am able to keep this blogg as a diary of sorts.  The time now is 22:22 here in Norway/Bergen And before I go to bed I will tell you about my day.  I woke up feeling okey and as always Mille wanted snuggles before we got up.  When I got out of bed my neck tensed up and...

Never Let Me Go

 Never let me go  A fictional movie putting reality in it's place.  So yesterday I drove to pick up a boks of dvd's someone was giving away. Since I am so broke that I can't afford netflix and all those things.  And before bedtime i desided to watch something I thought to be a romantic movie which it in a way was but it ended up to be so much more. There is a bok and I think i want to read it if i can find it! I watched this movie last night, when it was finished I thought, well that was time waisted. But then a feeling hit me that I can't describe. So I thought about the movie, of what feeling it gave me. It gave me the feeling of hopelessness feeling of life wasted. It was also a strong powerful feeling not necessarily a negative one. Maybe the people in the movie had no choice it was so bizzar and out of the blue and I didn't know what the movie was about before after thinking about it for a bit.  And it made me feel like the people in the movie had no c...

  TW Mental Health So I thought today was a appropriate day to blog about this but dont worry this is going to be the first and last blog all about mental health.  The reason today was a good day to write about this I have started to get the messages again. "I knew you didnt wat to be friends, at least you could tell me" "Are you doing okey ? You are a bit quiet." "Are you mad at me ?" And so on... I do want to be your friend, no I am not doing so good and no I am not mad at any of you. I have CPTSD and Struggle with depression. But lets take it sorta from the top, all tho I will never go in to spessific about why I got diagnosed with CPTSD and the events that led up to that. I am in fact going to talk about how that effects in everyday life. So first of all because my brain have had life long state of fight and or fligth. I have developed a svere mucle tension in my pelvic and back mucles that has effected my nervous system so its on high alert. When you ...
