Got a G. rosea sling!

[khatchet]

I got a G. rosea sling yesterday, it is in pre molt now. I will try to post a photo after the molt, not sure if my camera can pick it up at its size though.

Congratulations! Can't wait to see photos and the stories you will have

 

[khatchet]

Yeah, every one just keeps asking me why I have 4 G. rosea. I also almost picked up an lp today, at the expo. I hope there are some there again when if go back in a few month.

lmao well have different species that we prefer over another, plus G. Rosea's are probably one of the more easier, laid back types.. unless you get 1 who has an attitude

Im wondering what will be at the next expo here too. Probably nothing since only 3 T's are legal are where i live

 

[Chubbs]

Eh, that's hugely debatable tbh. G.rosea are notorious for being moody and having mood swings, so they're not the best for handling IMO. Brachypelma (most) are better for that.

I actually like A. Avicularia more than G. rosea, but I do love them all so I just get what ever seems to come to me. There is the St louis reptile show here about every 2 month, so that is amazing.
It sucks that tou can not legally buy them where you are.

Most off my G. rosea have been moody, but I do not handle any of mine so it does not matter to me.

Oh sorry, i wasn't necessarily talking about handling. I mean my girl is pretty moody at times too, but never have i had hairs flicked or had her try to charge or anything. I guess compared to a lot of other species out there I've just read G. Rosea's tend to be a bit more calmer. I still don't think i would ever handle mine, at first i thought it would be "fun", but fun for who.. me? Definitely not her I'm sure..

But hey, i guess it depends too, some people probably have pretty "docile" Rosea's or even say some pokies, but then some may have more aggressive/skittish, moody Rosea's and same goes for pokies.

As for the by-law on the T's I'm pretty sure thats only for the city, BUT out of the city i think its legal. So its as easy as just shipping the T's to my boyfriends parents place, i'll find a way to sneak more in

Generally the docile rosie's people talk about are actually G.Porteri.

Individual personalities can vary, but as a general rule, G.porteri/rosea tend to be rather moody. There are many calmer beginner's species out there, such as A.chalcodes, B.albopilosum, B.smithi, B.boehmei, B.emilia, Euthlus sp and many more.

I have found G.rosea to be less calm for the most part, but I have seen many feisty G.porteri as well.

I love my porteri, but she can get moody about some things, (roach's)
I want one of the really red color form rosea's and a reg one as well ;d

My female can be moody, but not too bad. My male was very tolerant, and never showed a defensive side, ever.

It's just a general female trait to be moody

There is the photo of my sling, sorry it took a bit for me to get one posted.

 

[kormath]

looks the size of mine, 1/4" roughly?

 

[khatchet]

I think she is closer to a half inch.

 

[RedCapTrio]

Pretty cool.
