MY JOURNEY WITH MY VERY FIRST GBB
By Hollie (Princess Sophie Pink)
Hollie, also known as Princess Sophie Pink on YouTube, was gifted a Green Bottle Blue tarantula by fellow YouTuber Peter Webster. Here, Hollie shares her knowledge and experience with this species PLUS a very interesting molting issue she encountered! I got my first Green Bottle Blue tarantula when I had been in the hobby for about 3 months. I was lucky enough to be sent one as a gift from Peter Webster. I always wanted a GBB because if the colouration. They are beautiful. I thought it was a male so named it Webster. But he is a she now!! I have still kept the name Webster, though. Since owning Webster she has been good to watch. She has webbed up all of her enclosure. Sometimes she gets a bit skittish but has never threat posed me. This is because other than feeding and maintenance, I leave her alone.
I wouldn't try to handle her just because of how fast she is and you never know what mood she is in. She thinks everything is food and I wouldn't want her to mistake me for a locust!
