Shelby, my Carlsbad Green

[Pathogenic]

Finally got around to taking a picture of her, she's a paranoid one. She's a sweetheart though.

Awesome! I think these, and the A. chalcodes can be a couple of the most underated T's. Thanks for posting...

Nice pic. How big is she?

They are nice looking tarantulas. I can't get over the size of their chelicerae. They're huge! And they've got an attitude to match. I just wish mine would do more (not like tricks or anything...just tarantula stuff ). No matter how nice looking she is I just can't seem to take much interest in her.

She's about 3 inches, pretty small. While she is somewhat docile, she is a bit skittish. I handle her respectfully, and she has never made an attempt to bite me, or flick hairs. I hear the plea for interesting... she is always in her hide, almost all day, always baracading the entrance, though I'm told this is normal for this species.
