Message: <blockquote data-quote="Miguel" data-source="post: 203038" data-attributes="member: 37855">Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Miguel, an exotic pet and nature enthusiast living for more than 20 years in Chile. Born and raised the first half of my life in northern Europe, I've always enjoyed nature, fauna and flora. Since a few years I've come to realize that I actually live in a quite awesome country regarding arachnids in general. They are plenty and can get quite big, including spiders, scorpions and opiliones (stunning species here!).I recently wildcaught two half inch slings of a local tarantula specie, but as I'm no expert I'm confused with identifying them. There are for sure siblings as I stumbled upon then exactly at the same spot and looking the same. They are gorgeous and I need urgent help to identify them (please help!!).I've kept them separately in a small acrylic container with drilled cross ventilation holes, some dirt with moist and dry spots, a natural hide and a small bottle cap for water. I've been feeding them with Dubia nymphs and the love them! So far so good!     As a total Tarantula newbie and these babies are my first to keep I hope I'm keeping them accordingly, if not, I'd appreciate recommendations and insights. I'm attaching two photos in case you can help me with identifying them.Thanks to you all!!Best,Miguel</blockquote>
