Man, I wish I could get the G pulchripes, but it's honestly too big in the size department. I already asked the parental units and they declined that species for the size. If I would get an albiceps, it would be an adult. But, I'll keep my options open for other species. Thank you!
What size limit have the parental limits given you? You need models 2.0, trust me!

Parentals say around 5-6 inches, the size that both my ts are projected to be. 7 and more is a no for them
g pulchripes would be fine then. Most adults sold are around 4 inches. And the time it takes to grow, your parents could not see the difference. It really is not a big tarantula.

its possible my 4 inch is way bigger… i just never take her out to measure. She is a real gentle giant.

my slings are around 2 inches. I tried to measure. They really don’t do anything during maintenance. And don’t kick hairs like any of my brachypelmas.

the only threat pose i ever got was during feeding, and it was in a premolt phase. The tarantula was not hungry.
