[QUOTE="Carl Ash, post: 76984, member: 5854"] Nicolas, thank you so much for such an in depth response! Continually amazed by the willingness to help a newcomer to the hobby that everybody on the forums seems to have. From what you have told me, and what I have heard about rose hairs and the sometimes crazy personalities they can have, I think I have narrowed myself down to either the Nhandu Chromatus(I absolutely love the coloring of the adults), and the Guyana Pink-Toe(A. Avicularia). I love the idea of an arboreal being part of the family, and even am considering a GBB if I can find one for sale locally as their coloring fascinates me to no end. Then again, if it was all about coloring, I would easily go grab one of the more expensive but gorgeous Cobalt Blue females at the reptile store the very next day haha. In all, I am thinking raising the N. Chromatus from a sling would be a very rewarding experience considering how large they can get after years of growth. I actually housed and somewhat raised a C. Inclusum (yellow sac mother) and her brood of probably 30-40 slings for a month or so until releasing them due to difficulty of containment with all the slings in the makeshift housing I had set up, and I found that raising young spiders was really entertaining. If you don't think that it would be too difficult, I reckon that the Chromatus would be a fun match for a second T. What do y'all think :) [/QUOTE]
