I would keep that gecko as a pet. Besides be careful when u offer lizards. They can eat ur T.

that gecko is so common here in sao paulo. Like if I wanted to i could capture 20 + per night. Whenever i offer it to the T i will have to make him very dizzy before (you all know how). + it won't react because i tested it before however the T wasn;t as hungry as i expected. I other doubt would be: which is the most effective way to eliminate odor and contamination risks after the T has eaten a pinkie / mouse.

If they are so common, why did you mistake it for a anole?

you generalize it too much, I love tarantulas but i donçt like and donçt have any interest in lizards. That doesn´t make me a rookie in exotics. Not everyone have to know everything about exotics. In my case i probably know more about Ts than you.

Anyways whats the most efficiente way to eliminate the odor from a fed pinkie from the tank and any risks of contamination ??

I aggree that it looks like an Aphonopelma sp., but not a Seemanni...

And, I disaggree with whoever said it looked like an Acanthoscurria sp... Acanthoscurrias have joints on their legs that look like they have bones, plus, their opithosoma have a lighter crecent-shaped coloration on the front, most facing the carapace... The species here displays none of those features... The only Acanthoscurria sp. it could possibley be is A. Fracta :?

my obsession with it is that i kept one unique selenocosmia but in the last 3 - 4 months that i owned her i saw her eat something like once or twice, i was pissed i didn't have the action. Well now i have a T that gives me a lot of action...
Forgive my misunderstanding, but you keep Ts for ACTION? :confused:

Sorry about the comment back there.

LOL Terri, I have quit trying to figure out what this guy is doing :? have you seen his feeding habits, give the T who knows how many crickets and than wonders why it won't eat the lizzard and then spouts off on how much more he knows about T's than this other guy :wall: This is better than the TV :D

And for their superb exotic beauty. I like to observe them a lot. Since child i used to collect wolf spiders in my farm house and put em in glass jars. I would always feed them flies and they always ate. So you see its not something that happened in a week. Anyways i got my first T at the start of this year.

Maybe a light form of A. fracta? And we have here in Brazil a lot of undescribed species yet...
