Theraphosa species rotan Island purple

[towtruck]

Has anyone had the pleasure so far to take care of a rotan Island purple? I have one in my collection. I received it as a 1/8 sling and so far I believe we're almost close to a half inch. I haven't found any real information on it and was wondering if anyone else had heard or read anything.

Yes, theraphosie species rotan island purple was just looking to see if anyone else had raised one. I'd love to know more information

Not I, I think you are the second person in about a month or so asking on this one for the same reason.

Have you tried asking the person you bought it from for this information?

 

[towtruck]

They didn't have very much information. I'm assuming it must be a newer species

I've seen them for sale in a few places recently and have been tempted. I don't know anyone that has one yet, though.

I have one. It's tiny and slow growing so far. Seems to like moisture and staying in one place for a very long time lol
Spent nearly an entire month IN the water dish.

My juvenile island purple. Pretty active and a good eater. Very leggy

Sorry it's taking me so long to get back to you. Yours is very cute. Mine seems to still be quite a bit smaller. It's still on fruit flies. I've seen it just a very few times. It likes to stay pretty buried LOL and it drinks out of the tattoo cup that I fell up for it on occasion.

It'll be nice when mine grows that big then I'll be able to see it a little bit more often. It likes to keep itself a little buried right now after several months it's still about the same size as a grain of rice. So if you got a juvenile you either grew it from a baby and it's been a few years. Or you got lucky enough to find a juvenile beautiful specimen though
