Can’t share Gabe to Reddit anymore, so hopefully there are some tarantula lovers here. Gabe is a Green Bottleblue (Chromatopelma cyaneopub) spiderling(sling) laying web in his enclosure.

Unpopular(?) opinion: I like Gabe he seems cool.

The correct opinion

Did Gabe spin too tall of a tale ? Catfish a mod ? We need to know more about Gabe’s possibly bawdy behavior

Spiders are great. They generally don't mess with you, look pretty, & they kill the bad pests.

….awww ok, you got me. What’s a spoodling

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A sling is the correct name for a baby tarantula, but spood or spoodling would be the puppers version

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Honestly one of the best tarantulas to keep. Beautiful, fast growers, heavy webbers, easy keepers.

Very cool. I have a jumping spider, it's always funny to see the web-spinning dance

We had a wild caught jumping spider, Argyle, had her for about a year before she caught that webbing to the sky.

Yeeeah, they don't stick around long, but they're precious while they're here. At least you'll have Gabe for a few years

This is Spooky. I've had her since she was a sling too

Good little Webber! You’ll be amazed how fast these guys grow. Felt I had a sling one moment and a hooked male the next.

Replied thanks from an alt account on GBB behavior, received ban from mod because it was an old thread and I had 0 history there.

I don't quite understand that but it sounds like a dumb reason for a suspension.

Did you get banned, or did Gabe get banned?

That is why I roll around on ALTS. Different accounts have different subs so I don't DOX, and keeps stuff separate.

Sorry to hear that, fwiw I see your posts (not linking obs) are completely innocuous, nothing to worry about. Reddit is mad sometimes.

Right? If I do forget what account I’m on and goof, I delete the comment, unless it fits the “taking pictures of my pets for fun” narrative

tbh I heard about deleting reddit comments like whatsapp/snapchat and the more I see the more sense it makes. Some subs are fun, some... not

Probably the wrong subreddits. I am pretty sure r/spiders and r/tarantulas would love to see your spider.
