I don't know if anyone remembers my thread about Dave the millipede but she now has a new spider friend ( different enclosure)

We went to an invert show and got a pink golaith spider. And need a name?

I'll try and take a better photo.
The tips of the legs are pink.
Love all the suggestions

Denise.

Or Beverley Macca. (She’s too fat to be a fly…)

She is gorgeous OP.

Gaz (Gary) or Pauline.

What a beautiful spider. What about Pink? Her colour and also the singer?

JenniferJupiterVenusandMars · 26/11/2023 18:02

🫣 o.m.g. You’re a braver soul than me OP!
She’s definitely Doris or Mildred or Morticia.

Stressedgiraffe · 26/11/2023 18:08

I'm not brave it's dds. It's in her room where it will stay in its enclosure.
I hate spiders and apparently it'd going to grow to the size of my hand!😥😭

No way! Luckily my DD’s a complete arachnophobe, can’t even look at a picture of one!

Death eater.

Stressedgiraffe · 26/11/2023 19:11

I looked on Google for an adult pink footed golaith and scared myself. They can live for 20 years. So let's hope it goes with her to uni/ when she moves out.
It can eat baby mice when it gets older so that'll be fun!

Lady Hale

I love this idea. Lady Hale's name is Brenda so I vote that.

Dave and Brenda sound a great pair. In fact I'm sure we had neighbours in the 70's called that!

@Stressedgiraffe If you don't know her/get the link to spiders, do google Lady Hale. She also has an caterpillar/millipede brooch . She's a formidable, impressive woman - very appropriate for an impressive spider.

We like Lady Hale but still need more options.

Did you decide OP?

Stressedgiraffe · 03/12/2023 20:46

No she's still nameless at the moment. Dd can't decide.
At the moment I refer to it as 'the thing' as in have you fed a locust to the thing.
I'll update when we get a name
