I also don't have any interest in the Theraphosa genus, they just don't do it for me. I think Lasiodora is a way better option. RCF rosea is one of the most beautiful species!

Looks a little strange but there isn't much you can do. You won't really be able to tell until after it hardens up a bit more anyway. I would suggest adding a water dish if you don't have one. My immanis loves moist sub and can be seen drinking water pretty often. I think he/she will be fine...

Even though the T deaths are mysterious, it is totally possible that is was a complete coincidence. Roaches carrying insecticide is also possible, but I think some kind of direct contact would be required. I'm assuming the pest roaches aren't fed to the spiders, which may be the case with some...

I agree I've always wanted some of these.. They are quite fascinating.. Congrats on the new additions !

I know the feeling! ETERNAL student is definitely what it feels like.. Someday both of us will have nice jobs and massive T rooms ;) Just gotta be patient til then!

I'm not sure, even roseas have their good points. My least favorite T that I've owned was a MM A seemani. Other than that, I've generally liked all of them. Just waiting for my current ones to get bigger so they hopefully stop burrowing -_- Even my 3 inch B albo still burrows! But he/she comes...

It makes no difference. The animals must go through a rigorous customs process. The reason you didn't know about it was because the international seller probably claimed it as a gift.

When I first got into the hobby I went from one tarantula to about 40 in a couple weeks. Definitely addicting! I am holding off this time due to lack of money (eternal student) and space!

He means the importing of live exotic animals without the right permits. Either way, glad the sling is okay!

I agree it is currently one of my HIGHLY most wanted spiders. Along with H pulchripes. Sadly they are a bit more pricey here still.

Yes this is a great species that has popped up around the hobby in the last few years. This is a good price IMO

I am super jealous! Nice score!! I'll have to keep my eye on craigslist

Giant thing of pub mix from costco.. perfect for a sub adult arboreal.. only mine are still slings.. better hang onto them until then. I definitely feel it!

It's a major fallacy of many tarantula keepers to get super paranoid about the livelihood of the animals in our care. ALL of us have done it. Everything they do seems to make us paranoid. I've been keeping spiders for over 10 years now and still find myself obsessing over perfection. The key is...

I have always gone to shows with a limited amount of cash. But then somehow I end up at the ATM that is always close by. And then I kick myself for the next two weeks. Annanlove, go; you will have a blast. Better with a friend though.

Note to self: Wear gloves before unboxing the next shipment I receive from Kelly. =D

To this day I do not understand the irrational fear of spiders people have. I'm no psychologist by any means, I just don't understand the fear. This may be the wrong thing to do if you do not know that person well, but it was just a molt! Molts carrying diseases is a joke and could be argued...

Knowing him he would try to toss them back in the water!

Wow, I definitely have overlooked this species over the years. What a beautiful T! And yes they are big enough to sex

That's actually the better thing to say in that situation :P
