Very beautiful! Definitely a species on my wishlist.

Woah, it's beautiful!

Yay! Thank you both. :)

Juvie Aphonopelma chalcodes, waiting for a molt to confirm its sex but until then figured why not try and ventral sex it?

Thank you for your comment! I'm still gonna wait til it molts to make it official but I was thinking the same thing.

^ I'd say male because of that reason.

I'd say male but I'm not an expert.

Juvie A. chalcodes. Clearest pics I could get at the time. What do you think it is?

Thanks so much! They're definitely an interesting species. I look forward to seeing and hearing about yours. :)

So, I just recently discovered this species and have fallen in love. I'm interested in adding it to my ever-growing wishlist but before I do, I wanted to know some info about it. I've looked up care sheets and whatnot and cannot come up with much so I thought why not turn to Arachnoboards? I'm...

I've only encountered three in my life that I remember (I've never intentionally looked for them until recently). Two were close to or on wooden doors. My front door at a house when I was a child and inside a hole in a flimsy wooden door recently. The last one I found at the house I was in...

My first tarantula, just got it yesterday. Aphonopelma chalcodes - a beautiful and sweet T. It's been an absolute angel! And a voracious eater, already. Also, this is its favorite spot to attack prey.

I wish people gifted me tarantulas! :D But, from stories gathered on the internet, it appears G. rosea and B. smithi are the most common species gifted to people (probably because they're the most popular in pet stores).

I plan to take the light off, I just had it there for the picture because it's a little dark in my room at the moment. :) And I have another brick and a half sitting out right now that I'll be adding. Thank you for the suggestions! EDIT: Also, it won't be here until Tuesday at the earliest...

I'm anxiously awaiting my first T so I've been looking at this thread to calm myself and get ideas for enclosures, at the same time! Here's what I have so far for my A. chalcodes but it isn't done yet: Also, don't mind the mess around the enclosure -- I've been moving quite a bit of stuff...

I will probably try later tonight to do that! She's pretty docile (even when gravid, she had a very sweet disposition) and lets me direct her around pretty easily. I'm personally leaning toward Alopecosa from picture I.D. alone but it is highly likely I am wrong because I find it very hard to...

If you want a creepy, mythological feel, here ya go: Apollyon Erebos Cerberus Valdis Teivel Eris And of course... Arachne. ;) A personal favorite of mine is also Robert.

Wow, what an amazing story! This was so inspiring to read. Charlotte is beautiful, glad you're keeping her and that she's feeling herself again!

A wolf spider washed up in a rainstorm in early May on my driveway (it sheltered itself in an unused dog bowl). Its legs were a little wet but it was otherwise fine. Upon closer inspection, I noticed it was a gravid female and considering the forecast was for much, much more rain (and my dad...
