    How rare are RCF G. roseas?

    My RCF rosie was a copper color during premolt, maybe that applies to the T you saw as well

    Comment by 'Wink' in media 'A. avicularia?'

    thanks for all the replies everyone! i was also playing with the idea that it was possibly A. metallica. im sure the size will prove that fact when he matures. i will see about borrowing a good camera from a friend and taking a better shot of him. i have multiple A. avicularia, the colors look...

  11. A. avicularia?

    A. avicularia?

    this was sold to me as a male A. avicularia. which it could be. but he is around 4.5" and i figured he would be mature by that size. also, he has WAY more hairs than any of my other A. avics. any help is appreciated!

    I Would Like Something Other Than A Grammostola & Brachypelma?

    In my experience, OBT's have far more attitude than any of my H. lividum. My lividum are not pet holes either, they are out daily. If you do research and be prepared for the possibilities, I dont see anything wrong with getting either species mentioned above. That being said, if you are scared...

    Jason, i do sympathize over your situation. im not trying to come off as a jerk or anything. However, i always keep a payment for an order in my paypal account until i know the spiders have arrived safely, or if a situation comes up where a refund is needed. i personally think all sellers should...

    substrate

    i go for peat moss, simply for the fact i have so many T's. doing a large scale sub change with eco earth becomes expensive very quickly....but if money wasnt the issue, i would go for eco earth

    New Rose Hair - fast and skittish...

    i have a soft spot for G. rosea. that being said, i have 5 females and currently 1 MM, but had 3 MM previously, before they passed on. the only time i honestly have ever seen them (the females) act in any defensive nature, was when they were approaching a molt. other than that, they are all very...

    First Tarantula online order, help!

    make sure to have an enclosure ready for when it arrives. unpack it, then transfer it to the enclosure you prepared. it will not be in a prepared container, depending on the size it could be in anything from a straw to a deli cup for shipping.
