nice

i suggest a nice G. aureostriata next. of all the Ts i have, my chaco is still my favorite, if for no other reason that i raised her from 1/4" to about 6" now.

I've done some research on them, they seem pretty cool. I'll try and get my hands on one. Maybe get them to order one in at my work.

love my aureostriata

My G. aureostriata (chaco golden knee) is easily my favorite. She is a voracious feeder (last night I swear she caught the first cricket I tossed in before it hit the ground then stalked the second and stacked it up with the other on her fangs). She is docile (though she can move very quickly and did so up my arm and onto my back once before I knew what happened). She's always out and about, moving around dirt and whatnot (not a pet hole). Supposedly she'll grow to be 8". What isn't there to like?

p.s. rosehairs aren't all docile or at least aren't docile all the time. I have one that is very unpleasant much of the time (translate I think would bite me--at least at times--given the chance). Just be aware that they're not a "can't make it bite" species (like G. aureostriata).

ive never had a rose try and bite me before. i work at a pet store and we get atleast 2 a week and ive tried to get every single one of them to attack or atleast show some aggression and they haven't. i'll look into G. aureostriata tho.
