Great Ts. Usually pretty cranky. Mine puts up a threat display every time I open her cage.
Their Venom isn't particularly strong, but a bite can be painful (wasp sting x 5).
Gorgeous spiders though, and get huge.

They get pretty big, annoyed easy, kick lots of hairs, itll bite if you poke them enough, pretty fast, prefer to stay in a hide unless they're hungry.. they eat a pretty good amount. Medium growth rate, but overall, awesome Ts!
I prefer N.carapoensis to chromatus, but you just can't go wrong with any of the Nhandus.

My NC is still a baby, but is one I see the least. She prefers to wait til she thinks I have gone before taking her food unlike most of my other babies. She doesn't really burrow like my other babies but makes depressions she sits head first in.
