We picked up a juvenile T. ockerti and made off with a few snakes and a crested gecko as well. Our pairing with Cori's A. versicolor went as well as we could have hoped, saw quite a few good insertions. Hopefully our female doesn't molt before she gets to work on that sac.
Good catch on that...
Try the search function. You should be able to figure out everything you need to know on these species using that.

Yeah, it'll be informative and interesting for all those at the expo, you should definitely come watch. We've only paired our P. irminia so far so hopefully all goes as well with the versicolors.
Is anyone else going to this? We've got three spots open in our car if anyone between Seattle and Hillsboro is looking to go. Looks like there will be some vendors with tarantulas but not entirely sure. At least there will be reptiles. :D

That is a truly amazing thread. We've got one unsexed M. balfouri that we bought from Rochelle because they are gorgeous, but upon reading that thread we now have many more reasons to love our M. balfouri, Avarice.

Haha, I just sent this guy an email too. Hopefully we hear back soon. It's bizarre how many tarantula keepers there are in the Seattle area, ads pop up on craigslist all the time. I inquired about a T. blondi and a G. pulchra from other people sometime last week.

EDIT: He got back to me...
Maybe an Aphonopelma seemanni in need of a molt?

EDIT: Upon further research, maybe Cyrtopholis portoricae? Anyone have experience with either of these species that can help...
I'm confused. Do you think you'll be able to get better access to the cork bark tube this way? Looks like you'll have to twist your wrist at a painful angle to do so.

I don't think it's a juruenicola. From looking at the carapace shape it doesn't look like an Acanthoscurria to me.
Here's a picture of our A. juruenicola for reference:
We'll be at the Oregon expo and the Renton expo for sure. We're considering holding a meet-up at our apartment in Seattle after the Renton expo if anyone is interested as well. :D
Just always expect your OBT to be defensive and you'll never be surprised, haha. It's very cool that they're such a cheap species since they're so gorgeous. Our slings are showing some awesome coloration at about an inch.
Coloration looks nothing like an A. metallica. A lot of white hairs, but the same is true of A. sp. "Peru purple" and multiple other Avicularia spp. The specie of tarantula typically referred to when speaking of "A. metallica" has white hairs on the abdomen rather than red, and usually a...
Please refrain from giving advice if you are unsure about the information you're giving. Avicularia minatrix look nothing like the T in the images posted.
