    I have a number of T's over the years ... but limited to one ... I'm going with the G. pulchra!

    New Tarantula

    Afternoon Therasoid -- Do you have a Paraphysa scrofa as in the one sold as such till recently but now due to classification is said to be a Euathlus species of some sort (single window patch) or the reclassified Phrixotrichus scrofa (two lateral patches)? Just curious as I have the former which...

    Tarantula Breeder In Connecticut

    If I had to guess ... I would say he was representing Anastasia of Net Bug .. she is in CT I believe but don't know the town .. sorry. But .. they were suppose to be in White Plains on the 6th ... so good chance it was them :-)

    New Tarantula

    I totally agree with Therasoid ... they are great little T's! I keep mine exactly the same way ...

    I breed my own ... but if you go on arachnoboards there are some recent post offering roaches...

    G.rosea, social or false pretence

    I have several (not my first T's though .. surprise) .... they are both fine to do cage maintenance around and deal with ... both can be held (if you are so inclined). Mine are both normal/gray color form if that makes a difference .. some say it does .. me not so sure.

    Feeding my curly

    I feed mine Dubia Roaches ... whole if small enough .. or parts if too big along with parts of mealworms and superworms.

    How do you think they climb?

    Crested Geckos and others use tiny bristle like hairs called setae arranged in rows known as lamellae :-) I think that is van der Waals forces at work!
