To the person/people interested in the rufilata, mine is awesome. When I see it. Once a month. At 3 AM. Lol kidding aside it is a beautiful spider that I absolutely adore and love keeping. The speed has been mentioned by others, but the thing I think gets overlooked is how impressive a jumper the little fella is. When he was about an inch and a half he jumped about three feet down and two feet away from my table and just kept running. I'm Not often surprised by tarantulas but I must say that day my jaw dropped for an instant (couldn't be shocked for long, I had to catch him) just thought I'd share something else to expect from this wonderful species for anyone interested in them. Be prepared for a dare devil!

[QUOTE="timc, post: 55896, member: 4054"] To the person/people interested in the rufilata, mine is awesome. When I see it. Once a month. At 3 AM. o_O Lol kidding aside it is a beautiful spider that I absolutely adore and love keeping. The speed has been mentioned by others, but the thing I think gets overlooked is how impressive a jumper the little fella is. When he was about an inch and a half he jumped about three feet down and two feet away from my table and just kept running. I'm Not often surprised by tarantulas but I must say that day my jaw dropped for an instant (couldn't be shocked for long, I had to catch him) just thought I'd share something else to expect from this wonderful species for anyone interested in them.
