He's not an aggresize eater like the Rosea I had 10 years ago. That thing wouldn't move unless I put food in, then it would run around killing everything in sight.

This guy is more of a patient hunter. The last two days it has been climbing the glass and falling/dropping to the bottom repeatedly. Not the smartest spider on Earth.

I had it for about two weeks and I already want another one.

still pretty small... man.. some people here have amazing pictures.. i got a sony dsc-p10... but i guess it doesn't compare to a SLR camera.

very very relaxed spider.. I picked him up the for the third time since I've got him.. he was chilling on his pot... no signs of stress even after putting him back.

Fresh out of a molt, their hair (setae?) has pinkish tones to it. You can kind of see it in the abdominal area when its on his hand. Its better to see it in person...

Great looking T. Mine is a little over an inch right now. Don't know which of mine is more calm, the PZB or my Chaco. I've heard the PZB is a slow grower.

I don't know the age of this adult female, we got her at the Daytona Expo last August. She has molted once since then.

how big is she? i really like the 'zebra' pattern on the legs... that's why i originally was interested in an A. Seemani, but this one seemed to be appealing in almost everyway.

Except for the fact people call it a pink zebra beauty. Not something people think I want. "Mom, I'm buying a pink zebra beauty".. she thought it was something for her or my gf.
