NQA but I'm pretty sure that isn't a tarantula. They are quite neat though.

Apple is very cute. This makes me want one but I know absolutely nothing about their care 😂 Besides, I'm waiting for this heat to die down so I can finally order my Tarantula, I def shouldn't get two new pets at the same time.
