At the risk of seeming even more eccentric than I already do on this forum, I have to post about this. My Carlsbad green smells... AMAZING. Can't put my finger on it but it's an earthy incense like scent that only she has. I have 14 different tarantulas in my collection and she is the only one with this lovely aroma. All 14 of my babies eat the same thing use the same substrate have the same heat eat the same food and the same time and are all within at least 6 feet of each other in my house so I'm guessing environmental factors are all the same. But with her, I can smell her delightful scent even through the top screen of her cage and when I handle her the sent is relatively strong and remains on my hands for a good 10 minutes after. Many people agree that she has a quite unique and Pleasant scent, some say it's similar to pachouli oil but I feel it's similar, but a less pungent odor. I have tried bottling the scent by touching her with a paper towel and sticking that paper towel in a jar - I'll see if it saves. I have given all my cages a good with and none of them seem to have this unique and gorgeous smell.
My arizona blonde has a similar scent but it's very weak as u can only detect it if u smell him directly while handling and it's so light that it doesn't linger. So... Now I ask you all, do your Ts have a particularly good - or bad - smell? Does anyone have this same experience w a Carlsbad green? Or arizona blonde?
