Meet Seraphine the Tarantula

I have a new baby in tow. And she's an eight-legged creature.

Meet my new pet, Seraphine. French for 'the fiery one'.

She's about a week old now, bought from Summit Flea Market last July 19. Yes, while I was working on my sister's booth, I still managed to buy a pet from other booths thanks to my co-worker of the day Ayi.

This tarantula comes from the family of Usambara Orange Baboon. This is the most fierce tarantula, matches its lighting-speed. She's only a week-old now, but when she gets older, you can see thick orange hair around her body and legs, forming a 'flame-like' moving creature.

Thus, the name - Seraphine. *winks*

Right now, she's quietly nestling herself on the thick web she had spinned and perhaps by the end of this week, we'll move her to a bigger, new container.

Papa loves you Seraphine :)

Seraphine is a loner, only needs a bf when she wants to mate. That's why I can't buy two at a time. This kind of tarantula has the strongest bite but not sure whether it can kill people or not. Wanna try?
