Cyriocosmus elegans (Trinidad Dwarf Tarantula)

[Zuilu]

Ohmygoshohmygosh she's so cute. I'm so excited! I've wanted a c. elegans for quite some time as I think they're just absolutely stunning.. Luckily someone in my area was selling one so I picked up a mature female :3 she's about 1" long, being a dwarf tarantula she won't grow past 2"

Here's my new lovely~:

Ooh she's beautiful! What an adorable baby. <3

[cowmuflage]

She's very pretty! <3

[Rhyela]

Squee! So cute! She reminds me a lot of the cyclosternum fasciatum I used to have.

[Dakonic]

She's adorable! <3

[Zuilu]

She's decided to make her home inside of a seashell..so cute *_*

[Wain]

How awesome She's a hermit spider

[Boven]

It seems strange to call a spider cute, but tarantulas somehow pull it off. Gotta like how the spot on her abdomen vaguely resembles a heart, too.

[Qinni]

I agree with Boven.

I can't find spiders cute at all, even if they are fuzzy. The colors on it are pretty cool though. Her home is a shell? Daawwwable <3

[zedxrgal]

She's gorgeous.

Someone needs a spider hug!

Little update: She's been webbing her home up like crazy, and it's hilarious to watch. It kinda looks like they're dancing and rubbing their booty everywhere.

[Mania]

Wow! The colors on her!

I'd love to see a pic of her webbed-up home if you have a chance.

I tried a few times to get a decent picture of the webbing but no dice, she's a burrower so it's very hard to get the camera to angle into her little shell burrow.

Side note, she actually just molted. She's still in hiding though, so I'll have to wait and see if I can catch her out of her den in a few days. I know she's been out because she's moved little objects around in the night.

Isn't it just adorable how they rearrange their home? One of the cutest things is when they're carrying clumps of dirt around. Oh, and then the little "happy dance," as I call it, when they're eating.

Their dancing is absolutely adorable, as is them playing bulldozer XD It's very amusing to watch them work, especially watching them web!
