After 2-years of owning these amazing creatures, I still find myself amazed.

I'm a terrible sleeper, and there are many nights when I can't sleep that I'll go into my spider room to pass the time. Walking into my spider room, in total darkness, and shining a light on these animals, is a never-ending source of enjoyment.

I know this species is incredibly "hyped"... but IMO it's all deserved. It's just my opinion, but this animal is not only the most beautiful spider, but the most beautiful living thing on Earth. I really mean that. I've lost count of the number of species I keep, but above all, this is it for me!

Beautiful spider. Looks like it molted recently? Do you know the sex?

Those are photos of a female I took awhile back... she was a couple months post-molt at that time.

I enjoy the same thing each and every night before I go to bed!

That is an incredible tarantula! What beauty!

I want one, but I can't afford it. I'll have to get one later. Gorgeous spider.
Oh and thanks for reminding me that I don't have one;P

I must say the blues in this sp. are enough to make an A.versicolor sling envious! I look forward to seeing her in person! Thanks for sharing bud!

Yeah they are really nice :) but IMO so much overated that it takes the fun out of them :/
But we bouth know that even though these pics are great, they are nothing compared to seeing an adult newly molted female :)
