Time to get A. geniculata?

[Mojo Jojo]

Hey, I was just perusing Spiderpatch.com's pricelist. It has finally been updated. Anyways, Darwin has 1/4" A. geniculata on special right now for $10 a piece. So this goes out to everyone who doesn't have one of these yet. It, in my opinion, is one of the species that every enthusiast should have. I got mine a couple of years ago, after only caring for a rosie and a common pinktoe.

Bloody fast is the answer to that my 2.5" sling has increased in size enormously since her last moult and she eats like a horse. genics are stunning to look at and very active, interesting T's

I would agree with Lostkat. They grow rapidly and eat constantly. I've acquired a couple of tiny ones recently in hopes of finding a male for my female and they seem to be hardy and growing rapidly as well.

yup they grow fast. last august/september i got an a.genic in a vial. now the little pig is the size of my b.vagans though she still wont come out of her jar (see previous post)

Mine used to be an eating machine, but it really hasn't been for a couple of molts now. I think that I got her too fat, so lately, she has just been living for the most part off of that. I think that since November, she has eaten maybe twice -- a couple fo superworms and a few crickets. (She was a spider that Joy would be proud of (superfat)!) But geez, while she was just a juvie, she would happily chase down 1 dozen crickets all at once and turn them into cricketball and eat them all at once. And then she would help herself to 1 dozen more the next day. I mean, she would chase them. It was awe inspiring!

Thats a great price.
I paid ouer $20.00 for mine, when it was 1/2". That was last April.
Its now 3 1/2" and worth every cent I paid for it. If ever I want to show someone a T eatting, I feed my geniculata. It can catch a cricket in mid air, and eat 4 at a time.
