My largest stirmi is called Felicity, or flick for short. She is reasonably laid back & easy to work with. But some of my other, smaller Theraphosa are certainly feisty & most are impressive eaters & as Arachnoclown said, fater than you think.

If buying slings, be prepared to end up with a male, as a larger percentage of Theraphosa slings seem to turn out male, than with any other species I have owned.

Oh & as Theraphosa get larger, be prepared to get hissed at. It is called Stridulation & can be heard from several feet away.

Flick before her last molt.
