I’m afraid I’m getting out of hand. Lol!!! Found this little beauty at a pet store today. Such a sweet and docile little baby. My collection is up to 42 now. Let’s go 50!!!!

Mine has red knees. Maybe they get color when older.

Yeah, this one is a juvenile.

Some people say that diet affects this. Supposedly, giving your feeder bugs carrots will enhance the red color in your T's.

I'm personally quite skeptical about this but there is a tiny bit of science behind it and it's a harmless practice for either the dinner or the diner so ?????

Good to know! I believe it will be molting soon. The knees are redder than the pic shows. Maybe when it does molt the red knees will stand out a lot more.

Like the shrimp that give flamingo the pinkish color... Never heard anything of this nature related to Tarantula's! Kinda cool to think this is so but I am skeptical as well! Lol.
