Acanthoscurria geniculata!!!

Still my favourite species, even though I've not had good luck with the two I've owned. The first, I lost to a bad moult, the second, which I still have, moulted out male, which is not what I desired.
This by no means suggests you made a bad choice. But heed the warnings about the feeding response. These guys are of the "hit first, ask questions later" nature.

I'm actually looking forward to the feeding response. I'll absolutely take all of the advice to heart, though. I appreciate every ounce of it.

I'm so sorry to hear about the bad molt. That always makes want to cry. I'm so sorry! I bet that male is a cutie, though. He should have no problem finding girl friend

Been waiting all day to post. My new baby is here! My husband and I rehoused him/her right away. Ran directly into the hide and we haven't seen little Fenris since Hopefully once he/she is settled in we'll be able to get some pictures. We're so excited!

How large is it? I'd be very thankful if you could track it's growth (collect all the molts and measure them). I've always wanted one and since my collection is just large NWs, I figured it's about time to add one to my collection.

1/4 of an inch at the moment. Really teeny right now I can do that for you. I'll let you know as soon as I get a molt.

Edit: Fenris decided to explore a little this morning. I got a picture, but my camera is awful. Still, everyone meet my little guy/gal. Maybe a nice, juicy meal worm half?

my baby is eating his/her first meal in my care. I could cry I'm so happy!!

I love it! He/she's right on top of the piece like it's going to get away!
