Absolutely 0 males, these are all female. Idk how anyone is seeing a male, even the last pic is a female

To me this looks like a soft tick, where was it found (locality) ?

I haven't been through this personally, but I have thought about it a lot. I would bring all of my tarantulas somewhere else and let the exterminator do whatever they need to do. You don't want to mess around with a cockroach infestation.

Lol it's definitely happened on this sub before

Imo Lol I have the same enclosure and my b. Smithi does the exact same thing at that hole. No they can't get out unless the carapace is smaller than the hole

I'm my experience aphonopelma are safe and docile to handle

Looks great! What a fun home for your spider. Keep the tv, I think it's a sweet decoration.
