And what better to get than the humble G. rosea!
Got her on Monday, but my computer was down that day. She ate today, and gave me my first ball of mushy cricket parts! hurray!

Congrats on the first T and welcome to the addiction.

Congrats and welcome to the addiction. Be sure to read the sticky on Rosie care in the Tarantula Q & D forum. Now get a pen and paper handy and start making a T wish list, because you'll probably get 10 more in the next three months!!!! ;P

Mega congrats on the eating too!!! My Rosie (also my first T) didn't eat for the first four months I had her.

LOL they aren't so bad!
Hey, mine is eating right now... after a two year or so hiatus.

Eating? Psha, who needs to eat

... after a two year or so hiatus.

Does this means she didn't eat for two years?

My signature will tell why I'm asking this:razz:

Yes, that is what see is saying. G. rosea has been known to do that from time to time.

Wow she is so beautiful!

Nice first T. But from what I have heard, G. Rosea aren't always so "humble".
