Lol, no way! There's no way I can afford tarantulas for both of our collections! :)

Thanks! I no longer have any communal setups. Hoping to change that soon though. :)
Thank you very much! :)
Not sure what this is a response to. But okay! :)

Just so weird. Like it got pancaked. It kinda looks deformed. I wonder what the purpose is for this particular species to have a flat carapace?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I haven't kept that particular species for quite some time.

Beautiful panama you have there....I can't wait for my two!!! :). Aren't these dwarf species? From the pics it looks like your male is mature- if you don't mind my asking, what is his leg span? Do you know how big females get before maturing?

This male is around 3.5-4" and yes he's mature. I would guess around the same size for females. :)

1.0 A. hirschii

Nice !! What's the visual difference between the "recife" and just I. hirsutum?

So many great pictures of some very underrated and seldomly seen species. I so appreciate them!
