LOL But it has the reputation for being very docile but also curious - Tom at Tom's Big Spiders says it is one of the only ones he handles because it spontaneously crawls up in his hand to check him out when he is cleaning!. I hope mine will grow up for me.   I suspect if you Google 'dwarf tarantulas' there will be a list. or link.  I don't know about size + determining gender - I do know when it molts you can send the exoskeleton to Kelly Swift and he will sex it for you for free - see <a href="mailto:kswift@swiftinverts.com">kswift@swiftinverts.com</a> - he is a great resource. adults molt about 1x/year.</blockquote>
