You'll fall in love with them
Is that the first time it is showing color?
Wait til it gets bigger

Yep, before this it was a dull dark grey. I can't wait until it gets better! I have a feeling it's going to need a new enclosure after its next molt. Any idea how long these guys typically take to reach maturity?

Great pics! The X. immanis looks awesome.

Thanks! I get excited every time I look at that immanis now, haha.

I really enjoy the GBB pics...thanks for sharing!

All of mine are still either juveniles or slings, but I would guess it would take anywhere between 3-5 years to maturity.

Brachypelma smithi female

Grammostola pulchra female, looking more and more ragged. I'm going to have a party when she finally molts. ​

Finally got my Avicularia metallica, Fuzzy (or Fluffy, depending on my whim of the moment) out for some photos:

Getting her back to her home...it was a bit sad (but adorable) the way she huddled at the bottom of the coffee mug. She's safe and sound in her tube web now, not to be bothered for a very long time.​

Poecilotheria metallica female, ~3", a few days post-molt​

Nice T's. I saw a Xenesthis immanis at a dealer when I went to pick up my A.versicolor. First thing I thought was it's the Darth Maul of tarantulas

Let me know if that spoils your pic thread and I'll delete it??

Haha...while I'm not a fan of the Star Wars prequels, I do see the resemblance.

My Rosea is pretty docile, and completely handelable... but at first she wasn't so friendly. she just was used to the pet store, everyone passing by, not stopping to say hi, you know. she wasn't used to ME. After a few days, though, she calmed down, and she's got a much better attitude.
