Finally wore my wife down into letting me get 2 more tarantulas!! I'm stoked. been shopping. I likem big! so i think im going with a Grammostola pulchripes and a Lasiodora parahybana. What do u guys think of these 2? and anything i should know about them that u can think of would be much appreciated.

Well done on talking her round. I've no experience of G. pulchripes but LPs are a great choice. Easy to keep, eat like pigs and grow at an amazing rate. Try to avoid LPs hairs though they are supposed to be the most painful.

Thanks @Enn49 Yeah im pretty excited!

@Entity . Here's my LP eating a large locust

My LP who's still very young is not a hair kicker but is a total spazz. Every time I open his container he's doing laps and doubling back again. But like Enn said he's a pig and also a bulldozer, constantly moving his substrate around. Great spider

(The LP is definitely on my list) , grats on your next two in advance ^^

 

[Entity]

Thanks, and by the way @Kymura i like ur spider's names.

@Entity Thanks , I'm a little quirky and while I adore my little B albo (cutest thing ever) she looks like what I imagine zombie flesh would look like lol

Lps are awesome. Just remember, most are skittish, mine has been down right defensive lately, but I believe she's nearing a molt, and she just slapped at me, like she did the male I tried to pair with her..the male is a big gentle baby. The big ones can surprise you with how fast they can move if you startle them, but they're a great species to own. Very impressive spiders, and they don't hide when they get big. The pulchripes..I have one juvie, suspect male, that's a complete psycho. I've heard people say theirs were very docile. Mine is not, hopefully that will change as he gets older. He's actually attempted to bite me a few times, no hair kicking or warning, just a charge and grab..it's not feeding instinct either, I recognize that when I see it. I've bumped into a few people who have one like mine. Beautiful spider though, and the fact that I got a psycho one doesn't bother me

Mine's the same (still a sling). Jumps around like a jumping spider. He seems to become more skittish with each molt.

Lps are cheap as well, so if you're getting slings, why not get 3 or 4? That will almost guarantee a female...just saying

Nonsense, simply move the wife's stuff into the garage..voila! You have much more room! Then again, maybe that's why you have a wife and I have too many invertebrates for company..
