Better late than never? (Plus: Feets the Tarantula!) 🕷️
On Wednesdays We Wear Scales
A midweek check-in from your favorite pink-haired reptile nurse.
Hey!
I have a confession: I completely forgot it was Wednesday yesterday.
Between staring at my new ring, trying to remember what day of the week it is post-vacation, and catching up on all the "Zoo Business" I missed while in Asheville, my internal calendar is officially broken. I’m blaming Engagement Brain.
But honestly? Sometimes the best schedule is the one that allows for a little chaos. If you’ve ever forgotten to mist your enclosures until 11 PM or realized you’re out of feeder insects on a Sunday night, just know, I am right there with you in the trenches of forgetfulness.
Featured Creature: Feets the Curly Hair
Speaking of things that are patient with my busy schedule, let’s talk about Feets, my Curly Hair Tarantula (Tliltocatl albopilosus).
If you want an animal that won’t hold a grudge when you’re a day late on an update, get a tarantula. Feets is the ultimate low-maintenance roommate. She spends her days looking like a sentient pom-pom and her nights waiting for the occasional cricket delivery.
CVT Note: Curly Hairs are famous for their "fuzz," but did you know those hairs are actually a defense mechanism? They’re called urticating hairs. If they feel threatened, they’ll flick them at you with their hind legs. It’s basically the tarantula version of "I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed... and now you're itchy." Luckily, Feets is a sweetheart.
The Forgetful Keeper Lifesaver: Repti-Zoo 10L
Since I’m clearly struggling with the concept of time this week, I want to talk more about the Repti-Zoo 10L Automatic Mister.
Last week we talked about vacation logistics, but this week it’s about daily sanity. When life gets loud (or sparkly), this is the tool that keeps
The 10L Reservoir: I can go for long stretches without refilling, which is a godsend when I'm distracted.
Precision Timing: You can set schedules down to the second, so even if I forget it’s Wednesday, the enclosures still think it’s a tropical rainstorm at exactly 2 PM.
High-Pressure Reliability: It’s capable of running up to 20 nozzles. So if I decide to add another enclosure (don't tell my fiancé), I don't need a new system—I just add a nozzle.
Top-Fill Design: You don't have to take the whole thing apart to add water; just pour it right in the top.
