cold blood was kind enough to offer me 2 G. pulchripes slings for $15 shipped, they arrived healthy and active. He also included a couple deli cups and some moss! To top it all off, he checked in 30 minutes after the delivery to make sure they arrived safely. Wonderful seller and wonderful guy...
Was there a previous thread or something I'm missing? I'm not entirely sure what the topic is. OP, do you want a recommendation for a place in Miami to purchase from? On your way to get your first tarantula and will update us after? Have a place in mind and wondering if they're reputable?
No...
And she got right to filling the water dish with dirt, moving the plant and moss to the other side of the terrarium, and completely ignoring the hide in favor of making her own burrow in a difficult place. She also tries escaping every possible opportunity and resists the will of the paintbrush...
Went to a reptile show today, picked up an (young) Adult female A. chalcodes (now named Sunny.) Set her up in an Exo Terra Breeding Box with some dry (loose) coconut fiber, a small plastic plant clipping and moss for (completely unnecessary) decor, halflog hide, and plastic water dish. Looks...
Yeah, I'll have a "What Should My First Tarantula Be?" with a side of "I'm Considering an OBT" and a large drink.
"What kind of drink?"
An "Is A Ten Gallon Aquarium With Sand And A Heatmat Good?"
"Anything else?"
Oh! And a "How Often Should I Mist?" for dessert please.
You've convinced me to pick one up at a reptile show today, right when I was telling myself "I maybe won't get one and save my money". I hope you're proud of yourself, lol.

Just received two G. pulchripes slings from cold blood, both are positively adorable and already full of personality. One is named Monte and the other is Zuma. Just set them up in deli cups, going to try feeding them in an hour or so.
I think next I'm...
Put a vote in for albo and vagans. They're the only ones I have experience with, but I love that albos' have such a distinct visual "feature" (their common namesake) that separates them from most other Ts. My albo is also adorable when she refurbishes her burrow. I love how she scoops and piles...
I've never heard anything about "defanging" a tarantula ever. How can people even think that's an option? Where did that (apparently common) notion come from? o_O
The stigma from uneducated and/or ignorant people. I've never had to deal with it, but I've seen webcomics and such. "Big spider? Lolnope killitwithfire xD", gets under my skin.
So much A. geniculata talk and recommendations the past couple days its seems. Mine can't get here fast enough, I want to see the legendary feeding response in-person already! >.<
I feel like I'm climbing the experience-ladder to the "Dream Pokie Final Goal" pretty well so far (though probably...
