New Here w/ New T's

[Tarantism]

Hey everyone!
I have been curious about joining arachnoboards for a while, but I wanted my own T's before I did. I help my husband take care of his collection. Today I began my own.

I received 5 Avicularia avicularia: 1 mature female, 1 mature male, and 3 slings.

This is one of the slings (so cute!!):

This is my male (oh so handsome):

And here is my girl!:

Though I've dealt with arboreal sp. before, I've never seen a spider be so jumpy! I can't wait to breed them.

Just wanted to share. I'm excited to be part of the community.

Congrats on the beautiful babies! Avicularia is a great species to start with, they're very mellow and easy-going, not to mention gorgeous with their steely black-blue color and pink toes Welcome to the hobby!

Best of luck breeding your 2 females Krazy Kat.

And thanks Sarah! They are little beauties aren't they?

Thanks for welcoming me!

Welcome! I have been lurking for a while too, and just started posting a little while ago. I love your T's... the Avic. spiderling is TOO CUTE!!! I love those dark little feet

Have fun! I can't wait to start on my collection. I am still working on my hubby to let me get a couple... lol, he said "maybe" yesterday, and that's the first time he has not said "no" so it's a good sign!!!!

I wasn't too interested in avics, but your sling is making me want one

Welcome to the boards Tarantism & LMRabbit! Avics are a really great T to start with as long as you can get that balance of airflow & humidity inside the enclosure. Ours have done great, though I mostly keep terrestrials.
Many of the Avicularias go through striking color changes as they grow- you'll see for yourself!
Good luck guys with your new addiction!
