Hi guys!

So I finally decided to sign up to a T keeping forum and hopefully I can share all the awesome times with my T's. I'm new to the hobby and actually have a fear of spiders (although I have 6 lol)

my current list is:
1 green bottle blue
2 curly hair spiders
1 zebra pink beauty
1 chaco golden knee
1 mexican red rump

sorry for the lack of scientific names but I am new to this so I don't really know a lot of there scientific names lol

Welcome! That's a great collection. We would love to see pics. I have listed binomial names of your T's if you would like them.
green bottle blue=GBB=Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens
curly hairs=Brachypelma albopilosum
zebra pink=Eupalaestrus campestratus
chaco=Grammostola pulchripes
red rump= Brachypelma vagans.

I'll add some picks when I find my phones cable I love the hobby and love watching my little guys grow my Brachypelma albopilosum is a little twitchy as he flicks hairs when ever he has the chance but my Brachypelma vagans is such a little sweet heart doesn't flick hairs or anything.

Hi, great to have you! Your collection sounds awesome...I'm hoping to expand from one T to several before long!

I'm sure you will enjoy it just as much as I am well I just have a question for you more experienced keepers I'm getting a giant white knee in the morning and would like to know any precautions and surprises I need to look out for. and also the aggressive nature of them as I have got a lot of mixed info on them online.

 

[Sabeth]

I think they are semi-aggressive. I've read that while bites are rare, they do flick irritating hairs a lot.

Well lets hope I do have some luck I'm getting mine soon so lets hope things go alright when I put the little guy in his new enclosure

Thank you DalilahBlue and I decided to rather go for a Brazilian red and white, a scarlet bird eater and a red rump all for the same price
