My G. rosea stay in their tanks. I don't handle them.
They have mood swings. :}

66% of my G. rosea are not nice. When I feel like taking a T out for a little walkabout it's my sub-adult male B. alnopilosum or G. pulchripes gal. Those are truly docile species and pretty much stay that way no matter what you do. Even my "friendly" G. rosea can be quite a monster at times. She's struck at me more than once.

Right then Joe...
First off , my gripe is about people picking on others because their literary skills leave a lot to be desired......on a spider forum too which must take the cake.
Surely the spiders welfare should come before this.....Or maybe not in America,you tell me?
Yes,I have chosen to frequent your forum but if this is a problem with you Joe,I can always stay on this side of the pond.

So now I hold the power to make you leave the forum? Nice.
You can do whatever you want to do. Hopefully the post you quoted made its point though. I see your point but it's difficult (for me) to read a post when it's riddled with spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Hopefully you can also see my point with that as well.

That was below the belt.
I just hope this forum has nothing to do with the BTS because you guys have out done yourselves,congratulations.
Do you have mods on this forum,just curious because it seems not.
This book mark has now been deleted and hope you all get everything you deserve....well done.

She is fearsome! And its nice to see your daughter is as original with her naming as my boys are. Generally, they stick with color (see Red, for the smithi)
She is beautiful! Look at that webbing!

BCscorp,
That last pic is a great one; looks like the rosea molted recently and was doing the 'stretch'. Those pics are tough for me to get because they always move when I try to gently take the lid off to take a pic.

Yes, that pic was taken a day or two after moulting. It was the first time I had seen that pose from a terrestrial T.

i feel bad i forgot it, but here are some pics of our baby G. rosea RCF (Naraku, daughter named this one too )
It is in a 3 X 3 X 3" enclosure, to give you a size reference
this is from when we first got it and before our camera skills were learned

Aren't you worried about falls? There is very little substrate in there, but an awful lot of vertical space.one of mine before i took out wool in her water:
Also, why the humidity gauge? Is it hard to keep tanks dry where you are?

Alright, I'll play
I have a handful of G. rosea...
Pic 1- My big proven female. I didn't mate her this year, but she is still looking like she's getting gravid. Anyone ever have this species double clutch successfully? She has not molted since her last sac...
Pics 2 and 3- This one was unsexed until it molted five days ago. Here is a pic of the T, and a decent shot of the exuvium. Any of you G. rosea fans want to confirm my opinion on the sex? :clap:

Looks female to me.
Awesome pics people!!! I'll go along and dole out a couple pics of my own. One rosie is plenty enough. She can be a bit of a b*tch at times, but is easily handled. Not the prettiest T in my collection, however, she is the most beloved one.
wow
Wow Moltar, these pictures are amazing! Thanks for sharingThanks guys, I found the pics I was really looking for just a second ago... Check these out. And spit, that first one was a taken on a phone. I have plenty of other T's and true spideys too, btw. These are just my rosies.
This is my one teenaged sweetheart rosie, the second T I ever owned.

I just got a G. Rosea and I am happy to see that her terrarium resembles what most of you guys have
