I have the cage in a tub just in case she runs. Overall she is a very calm tarantula.  She did engage in very minor hair kicking, but it's nothing to worry about.[MEDIA=youtube]6ImIADzN678[/MEDIA]Here's a few pics.  I'm almost certain that she's female.  Of course, they're not really conclusively sexed until you see the molt and the flap inside.Anyway, here's some pics.[ATTACH=full]33243[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33244[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33245[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33247[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33248[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33249[/ATTACH]Either way, no matter what sex, she'll live for years. The leg span isn't even 3 inches.  They get to about 5" as adults give or take an inch...slowly.I kept as many familiar objects as possible, but I think she likes the frog moss. I scooted her off of the glass & that's where she went.</blockquote>
