I recently came across an article about these spiders http://bugguide.net/node/view/26285/bgimage and they are so cool to me! I tried googling if they are a species that is sold but found very few sites. I found a couple old links from people who bred them, so I was wondering if there is anybody...

Hey, I have been interested in getting some isopods for my T's enclosure but I am not sure what I would need since I am new to the isopods (and T care, I am a lifelong enthusiast, but only been a T owner for ~3 months). I currently only have 1 G. pulchripes, she's around 2.5" so she only has a...

First, welcome to the forum! Second, welcome to the world of arachnophilia! I love to hear about people who took the time to research spiders and find that they are actually super cool! I recently got into the T owning field, but spiders have always been fascinating to me. I think it's in large...

I haven't seen my girl do much webbing yet, really. Only time I saw it was while she was tearing everything apart. Since then, she has been very pleased with herself, strutting around her enclosure. I have seen so much more personality out of her since she moved everything around, it's very...

I had heard that Ts liked to rearrange but since she hadn't even tried digging for weeks I was worried I bought a pet rock. But overnight she decided she was ready! It was really fascinating to watch how she excavated her track, so methodical. She was like a little machine! An adorable one, that...

I have a few, but they vary in quality. I was waiting to see if she would do anything as I'd heard that they are pretty into burrowing and I was not disappointed. http://imgur.com/a/nHHyB

Hey everybody! So I just got into the hobby a few weeks ago with my dream beginner T, a G. pulchripes. I've always thought they looked great and loved their overarching theme of gentle giant, so when the opportunity arose, I had to get her. For a while she was pretty cautious but just last...

Thanks for the welcome! And wow, such bold coloration! I have to admit, when I think of tarantulas, I tend to yearn for the biggest I can find. But that little momma was so cute!!! I know there was a dwarf Avic listed from a breeder I like, so this may have to undergo serious consideration.. haha.

I've always wanted one (they sparked my interest in T's who knows how long ago) and the fact that there is one that I could get right now (https://jamiestarantulas.com/avicularia-metallica-metallic-pink-toe-5-6-female-513/) to add to my collection is super, super tempting. I don't know if my...

I was going to buy an A. versicolor before I found my G. pulchripes, but I changed my mind because the Avic was way too expensive for what it was (barely 1/2", unsexed, they wanted $60). The one I got was healthier, confirmed female, and to me that was a better deal. However, Avics are actually...

Currently my girl is pretty sedentary but she at least hangs out on top of her hide so I can see her when I want to:) but the temptation to buy a more active spider is super real. I'm also trying to tell myself that I need to give her a little more time to get comfy in her home before I expect...

I'd bet money that you're right! Haha, I have already started looking for another to add to my collection. Because honestly, who has just one? I need at least one terrestrial and one arboreal. And once I have that, I'm sure I'll find another excuse for more x)

I think I have already caught this addiction you speak of. I'm already looking for a cute beginner arboreal even though I just got my G. pulchripes.. it catches so fast!!

I noticed that your status says that you want Thrixopelma ockerti most right now. I'll just leave this here... haha c: https://jamiestarantulas.com/thrixopelma-ockerti-flame-rump-tree-spider-1-2-3-4/

Thank you! I have always thought they were just cool to look at and the fact that they are supposed to be good for beginners (I too am very new to the T owning field) helped me make my decision final, but I was very conflicted! At the same time, I also had the option to buy an A. versicolor...
