Went to feed my crew tonight and found one who had already molted and another actively molting. It’s so exciting to watch these little guys molt. Pictures are of my actively molting C. versicolor.

Meet Mathayas, one of the newest inmates at Crytes Asylum! 🦂🖤

He’s settling into his new enclosure, and we’re excited to see how he makes it his own.

Welcome to the Asylum, Mathayas!

Abaddon got a little home renovation today! 🕷️🖤

Hopefully he appreciates the upgrades, but knowing tarantulas, he’ll probably rearrange everything to his liking anyway. 😂

This was Lagoon. 🖤🕷️

He came to us already a mature male, from conditions he deserved better than. We knew our time with him might be limited, but we wanted whatever time he had left to be clean, safe, and cared for.

We couldn’t change where his story began, but we were able to change how it ended. He got a proper home, attentive care, and people who loved him.

Our time with him was far too short. Lagoon died October 3, 2026.

But his story doesn’t end there.

Today, we’re introducing Lagoon’s Refuge — A Crytes Asylum Rescue Program, created in his honor to help neglected, improperly housed, surrendered, and at-risk spiders and arachnids get the care they deserve.

Clean. Safe. Species-appropriate. Documented.

Lagoon will always be our first rescue — Rescue #000.

We couldn’t save him from everything that came before us. But because of him, maybe we can change someone else’s story. 💚

Welcome to Lagoon’s Refuge.

INMATE FILE // RAVEN 🕷️

Designation: Patient Zero
Species: Pterinochilus murinus
Ward: Arachnid

Every asylum has an inmate who started it all.

Raven was ours.

One orange tarantula came home with us, got a bunker of their own, and somehow became the beginning of everything that would eventually become Crytes Asylum.

Fast. Beautiful. Occasionally full of opinions. 😂

Patient Zero is officially on the record.

Welcome to Crytes Asylum. 🕷️🦎
We’re building a home for the unusual — with a focus on proper husbandry, thoughtful enclosure design, feeder colonies, and documenting the lives of the animals in our care.

Around here, the animals are inmates, the habitats are wards, and every resident has a story.
