one of my AF having a rare venture out. have another AF, 3 juvies and a small colony of juvies (x5). Need a MM if anyone in the UK has one?
Beautiful. What are their temperaments? I nearly bought one a while back, but read they were challenging to keep and super aggressive. I passes since I'm newish at keeping t's and already have a few "challenging" species.
 
@Aprilshowerz72 They can throw a threat pose with the best of them, but nowhere near as aggressive as other baboon spiders on my experience. They are a true pet hole but they are interesting for 2 main reasons, 1. they can be kept communal and 2. they out down loads of web that looks really cool.
I find them very easy to keep, they like the sub dry and a water dish, summat to burrow under and that's it really. If I was to recommend an OW species to a 'newish' keeper, this is the one. Go for it. they are stunning.
 
@Phil now I wish I had gotten one or two. I love the idea of keeping several communal. And I love species that make lots of webs. I love the webbing from my h minax spiderling. This may definately be a near future purchase. :T:
 
They are one good looking spider, that's for sure. Gorgeous form, with lush beigey-blondes and inky blue legs.
