My second was a T. apophysis. I did exhaustive research, memorized Tom Moran’s husbandry Vivek forwards and backwards, and practiced moisture levels in the enclosure I’d put it in for weeks before I bought it. I practiced my husbandry for my own confidence. I don’t like stepping into something totally green.Imo, it’s not that “advanced” if you can keep up with the necessary moisture levels. But the T apophysis sling is F A S T - I put its shipping vial into its new enclosure and didn’t even have the lid on before it got a gnarly case of the zoomies and was half teleporting around its new home.The hairs can be nasty but mine is still small, so I haven’t had the (dis)pleasure but everyone reacts differently.From what I’ve seen with mine, Theraphosa have got a great feeding response and they’re absolutely worth it. Just be prepared for them to be faster than you expect and make sure you’re keeping their substrate moist.
