    Martin, Yes, in the picture above, if you switch the green/blue for purple, that would be correct. I did some research, and she is most likely A. Urticans (Peru purple). I found a pic online that looks exactly like her :) I will try to take a couple more pics of her today, but for now...

    My other baby :)

    Thanks :) I'm not sure of his age, as he was a rescue, but he's not more than 2 years old. Now if I could only be as confident handling my T, as I am with him, things would be great! lol

    Hi All, Martin suggested that I post in here. This is Samara (aka Princess Fancy Pants). I bought her labeled as A. Avicularia, but knew that she was def. mislabeled due to her coloring.....with a little help from a few experts, it seems that my very first T is an A. Urticans :)

    Chain pet store tarantulas rant

    I fell in love with my A. Avicularia, Samara while I was in Petsmart buying frozen mice for my Ball Python. Same conditions as mentioned above, she was in a tiny Kritter Keeper, with a nasty sponge water dish :( In my opinion, I totally rescued her from that store. The label on the front of...

    New Here :)

    Hi Everyone, I am new to Tarantulas. I just got my Pink Toe yesterday :) I'm not sure on age or sex. He/she just ate 2 crickets earlier today, which is awesome. I also keep Ball Pythons, and they are super finicky eaters, so it was nice to have him/her eating from day 1 :) Hopefully the pic...
