Recently molted. Not sure if picture is good, or too trashed to tell.

Yeah haha. I also have a Chilean Rose called Manson. Thanks.

My beautiful Mr Manson pants (G. porteri)

He's managed to calm down over the past couple of weeks which is good news. Gave him a bigger prey to handle and it seemed to soothe him a little [emoji4]

Thanks Tongue Flicker! Its nice to be back, just moved into a new home and the internet had to be set up...its killed me haha

I disagree, myself and my partner own a Chilean rose and an OBT. And we were advised a Chilean Rose because of their docile nature, and advised against an OBT because of their aggressive nature. But our OBT is sweet as pie and our Chilean Rose is a *****. I believe individual spiders have their...

Thanks, that makes sense, I definitely don't want to be over feeding him. I've heard how notorious Chilean roses are for their eating habits.

Still beautiful haha

I will do. Thank you :)

We thought he was just being aggressive because he seems constantly hungry, but if he's stressed that's not good :(

I respect they are wild animals, hence why we don't handle our T's. I guess we're just stuck with a temperamental Porteri who is comfortable in his own home.

I moved him away just in case he was stressed. The OBT is about 2 inches in length right now.

Okay this really doesn't make sense, but we moved our OBT's tank next to our Chilean Rose's tank, and since then our Chilean Rose (Manson) presses himself against the side and shows his fangs when our OBT is nearby. Any suggestions? Our OBT is still small, is he thinking of him as prey?

Thanks guys for the advice, it makes it a lot easier and a lot less worrying knowing you have people to ask when you have a problem :T:
