Hello,
I found this forum several days ago, and it seems to be the busiest tarantula forum I've found!
I have been "into" tarantulas since December, when I purchased a 5" Curlyhair. She moulted in February, and is now quite large at almost 6" I would guess... Pretty fat in the butt too.
About 5 weeks ago I got a Rosehair, and she's probably 4" to 4 1/2". She's not quite as reclusive as the Curly, but doesn't web nearly as much either.
Two weeks ago I got an Usumbara Baboon (orange) which is at probably 2 3/4". She was VERY pissed off about getting put in a little container at the pet shop, definitely looking the part of "orange bitey thing" and "devil spider".
She is quite entertaining as she is a heavy webber/burrower. She seems to be a more active hunter of crickets than the other two, who will most of the time just sit in their hides waiting for food to come to them.
Anyway, that's pretty much where I'm at, and I haven't yet decided what T I want next.
