Hey there, Saw a thread on Avic's and couldn't help myself. It was pretty much all I liked to collect, although I did have other species. They were definitely my favorite. Here is some from my collection that may help you decide what you're looking for. These are all pictures I took of my T's...

I don't know about Germany, but in my home town in San Diego, CA, I never really trust the pet shop labels of critters most of the time. Especially Tarantulas. I've seen signs from "large tarantula" to "black spider". Even if it is named specifically "A. Purpurea", it could easily be confused...

Hey all, I was looking to get back into T's again, however I went to one of my favorite sellers (www.reptistexotics.com) and it seems the website no longer exists. Anyone know if Brandon is still selling T's and any information on him, if he is, so I can get in contact with him? Thanks in...

A. Minatrix on the glass. bit.

Thanks for the thoughts. And no, I don't believe this to be a wild goose chase in a stretch for getting everyone's opinions regarding this subject. I know it's delicate in that there are different views regarding controversy in opinions/facts on: What are the pros and the cons with water as...

I guess the majority of you guys read my question wrong. I'm not asking for your opinions regarding why I am wondering about this, because your input is definitely not needed. I was looking for input regarding the pro's and con's on this possible habitat in a hypothetical way for now.

I know this is probably been asked before and I'm sorry for reposting but is it possible to use water as substrate? Ex: 10'' x 10'' Exo Terra terrarium with 2'' of Water on the floor, with 2 huge a slabs of Corkbark and such to climb on. I guess my question is, I realize that there are...

Could be, but I can't be certain. It seemed to occur over night like something it ingested. Much more spastic movements like a defensive Cobalt Blue when you bother it. Very odd.

Assuming it has come in contact with some sort of sickness of any type and it is causing it to act differently, what are the best things you can do for it to help it get better?

It looks like hes moving as fast as attacking prey or something. And no he's only 2-3 inches.

I've had this A. Versicolor for coming up on a year now and hes about 2-3 inches. Always been taken care of well. I woke up this morning to check on my spiders and when I walked by them the A. Versicolor started running around his cage in a very sporadic movement. He will jolt all over the...

It really can pend to what the seller is trying to get for it. Normally, you will find A. Avics significantly cheaper, followed by Versicolors which are a little more costly. Then it can go up to around $40.00 USD for an unsexed 1-1.5'' Sling for Bicegoi, Minatrix, Purpurea, Peruvian Purple...

So I've been to a lot of pet stores that sell tarantulas and all of the ones I've seen are inside clear tupperware containers just so they have enough room to walk a few inches in any direction. All of the pet store employees that I've talked to said that it's not bad for them. Even arboreal...

It wasn't that I was impatient. The 2.5 Gallon she was in before wasn't a good enclosure for her so I wanted to give her some stuff to actually climb on and something that kept moisture in better. Right now I have her in a medium-large critter keeper turned sideways with lots of things to climb...

Her last molt was about 5 months ago. I have her in a small Exo Terra terrarium with opening plastic doors. Another part that does bother me is she has not webbed once since I've had her for half a year. I even changed her enclosure and still nothing. I don't have huge amount of stuff actually...

Ever since I received my Avicularia sp. [Peru Purple], she has never really been a big eater. I've had her for about half a year or so now and shes around 3-4''. Her abdomen seems to be incredibly small as she refuses to eat. I know it seems obvious that tarantulas would eat if they're hungry...

Well, as I've been watching my 2 Avicularia (Purpurea and Versicolor) in separate enclosures, I had been thinking. My Versicolor makes this extravagant looking web but my Purpurea hasn't. They are about 1 Molt apart. Is it possible if I removed my Versicolor and put him in the enclosure that has...

Well, as I can see, the only reason why they would have fought would be because they feel threatened. In your case, maybe they just are docile to begin with and didn't feel the need to react. My friend had the same case with his G. aureostriata and A. geniculata. I think if one got hungry enough...

Being a huge fan of Avics, that spider looks siiiiiiick. Wanna sell it?
