I'll post a pic in the gallery.
Thanks @Caseyface, I'm chuffed to bits, the pic is not very good as its from my phone, ill take another with my camera tomorrow. Whats next ?........Mmmmmmm, I'll let my wife see this one first
then maybe an arboreal
@Caseyface I haven't actually, but as I'm a noob to the hobby/addiction
it will be something more suited to my level of expertise like an Avicularia versicolor?? (Any suggestions greatfully accepted). I have loads of books etc. and have done plenty of homework but haven't decided yet. I might just enjoy my 2 slings for now and get to know them better...but who knows?.........watch this space
@Caseyface Doh ! I actually read about about the genus revision and should have known
( I stand corrected :wideyed. Avicularia purpurea is a real beauty and now I'm having to have a good old think. You might just have influenced my choice....I could be in some trouble very soon haha, well you only live once...thanks for the advice Oh yeah some of the names are really hard to pronounce, easy to copy and paste but really hard to say
Both are gorgeous looking tarantulas, I'm going to do a bit of research and settle on one very soon. You have given me a fair bit to think about
. I think ease of keeping will be first on the menu until I become more experienced. You will be the first to know when I make my mind up lol. I might just surprise you with a pic . Great talking to you.
Hi @SchubertHelm... welcome. I am a noob but enjoying every minute of my two new T's. Some great people on here and loads of good advice etc. I am also an archer and member of our local archery club. I shoot recurve. Anyway nice to meet you and look forward to chatting about these fascinating creatures.

Versicolor is the best starter avic along with avic avic and metallica. Purpurea is one of the worst as their range of acceptable conditions is more limited. Versicolor are also much faster growers, better eaters and just as, if not more vibrant and beautiful.

Yes -- so long as they're on boards that count.
Yes.
Ah, a fellow archer! I shoot a little Diamond Prism compound bow myself, just got in to the hobby 3 months ago. My friend is eyeing down a recurve bow to buy which I hope he does because I'd love to try one out. There's something about the shape and primitive nature of a recurve that puts it on a level of bad ass-ness compounds just can't match. You said you have 2 tarantulas. What species are they and how do you like them so far?
