Before my wife and I got married, I had informed her that I had two tarantulas and that they stayed. A year and a half of marriage later and the count is now nine. What's the problem you might ask?
Well, I seem to lean towards the Grammastolas as well as the Brachypelmas. Just picked up and Iheringi today!! I have my reasons. More mild mannered, easy care, long lived etc... My wife on the other hand likes blue tarantulas. Yes, you read right...blue. No other qualifications, just blue.
Sure she claims a Smithi and a Spec Red, but her latest two acquisitions are all for the love of the color blue.
Sahydroaraneus Raja: While I am happy to have this specimen I still really can't find much info on them so care is a shot in the dark. Been having luck so far. It has molted in my care and it eats well. It's fast though and on day one showed me a threat display. Honestly it was adorable, but I literally knew a big fat goose egg (0) of information when I bought it for my blue loving wife.
Today, she wanted a balfori. Our first baboon species. Granted, she could have done worse, a lot worse. It just seems like she is beginning to eye old world T's. She is looking at a cobalt blue... :-/. Anyway, I am sure at this rate Iight be posting in the bite reports.
Point is I am getting a crash course in old world T's. Play it safe, and study, study, study. Ask questions. Learn constantly. Never think you have T's all figured out..
