[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 229467, member: 29323"] The Lasiodora klugi is a beautiful T. Lucky you. We have had a couple of Theraphosa apophysis for a couple of years & I have to say I don't find ours to be anything but easy to keep. ALL of our enclosures are well ventilated & I do nothing special to keep them. yes, I keep them moist, but they take no special care or caution. Ours are not prone to rapid movement, or flicking. If anything, they seem to be easy to keep & work with. I am told the hairs are much worse than other species. But we have several stirmi's & blondi's & I am much more likely to be flicked by those than our apophysis. My big stirmi is one of 3 T's I have named. I call her Felicity, or Flick for short & on feeding day I am far more likely to need a good hand & lower arm wash, plus an antihistamine, due to a Brachypelma, than a Theraphosa. One of our most stroppy T's is a hamorii, she is known as psycho*****. And she will flick hair as the International Space Station passes overhead. [/QUOTE]
