    avicularia versicolor

    I don't think my little friend seems to mind the handling which makes ne happy. I figured since he's young I'm going to try and get him used to the idea of being held. I keep saying he like its a boy but I'm not really sure. He's about a month old this is too young to sex correct? And if so at...

    avicularia versicolor

    he came in a little 2 inch container with peat moss in it. i was told to leave him in that container for about another month before switching him to something bigger. he's about a half inch. is it bad to handle them? are they easily stressed?

    brazilian pink bloom

    both your spiders are neato torpedo! so speak to me about their colors. do males and females colors differ? how long does it take for their coloration to form? color and being able to handle is what I'm looking for. can these guys be handled? what other tarantulas have colors that burst?

    brazilian pink bloom

    When I searched it like he said it came up as Pamphobeteus platyomma. I've done alot of research on the general care and I'm pretty sure I've got a good idea on their care so if you think it'll be a good beginner I think I might get one. I at one point wanted a greenbottle but I find the...

    Habitat question

    Darn I was afraid of hearing that. I originally was thinking of the 12x12x12 but then I saw that bad boy online and I was like a kid at a candy store for a second. Oh well maybe one say I'll own a pet that will be happily housed in the Sri Lanka kit.
