I've fallen in love! Chilean Rose..

[G-Johnson]

Hey guys, brand new to the site, brand new to tarantulas
Myself and my partner got ourselves a Chilean Rose (Grammostola Rosea) yesterday and we have fallen in love already, up until yesterday I was convinced I had a spider phobia and wouldn't even go near a garden spider lol.
(I swore to my partner I would move out if he bought one home, and he did.. I'm still here and I love her!)

I'm presuming she is a female, although the pet store we got her from was unsure and suggested taking her molt down for them to inspect when she does eventually molt, although we've done some research and from what we've gathered I'm 75% sure she is a female. If I post some photos later, I would appreciate it if someone could give us some help?

I'll also post some photos of her setup so you can all be nosey

Any other advice would be appreciated too..

Hi. It's very easy to fall in love with them. The same happened to me with a little B. albopilosum that I got free, I now have 3 of them.

Btw. I still don't like house spiders but I have 29 Ts

29 T's? Wow, I'm already considering what T I'd like next, never thought I'd have much interest in them to be honest, I have bearded dragons and thought they were fascinating enough lol..

Welcome, after a month or so you'll be really wanting another I'm sure. I settled with a Chilean rose (my first T) for a long time, once I saw people like RobCs collection I had to get more.

The problem is buying online you think you may as well get a few at once as it's the same shipping cost, then you get the odd freebies and before you know it you hitting 30. My son had a beardie for many years that was addicted to the Simpsons but I'm more fond of snakes.
