[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 141200, member: 26980"] From what I've heard, 3.5" is not a full size. They get bigger. Since you like arboreals, allow me to further instigate your addiction. Presenting C versicolor, regarded as one of the most beautiful spiders on Earth. Advantages: not at all a mean/defensive tarantula. Fairly affordable especially as slings. Goes through practically a dozen color changes as it grows, starting with being bright blue!! Makes a tube type web and usually stays there, which means you just drop feeders in. This means you can use a larger cage to begin with. Was formerly known as Avicularia versicolor. Fairly easy to rehouse & can be handled if you're careful. Eccentric traits: Needs an elevated waterdish, won't go to the ground to drink!! Sensitive to excess humidity, dry spider. Using a humidity gauge to ensure it doesn't get above 60% is highly suggested. Will bolt and escape from a cage that's too small or doesn't have decent hiding places. Disadvantages: Slings can be fragile. Conditions have to be kept on point. Is a bit of a spaz. The great leap of faith occurs to those who handle it or allow it to wander around. Tends to go up whenever it gets out. Gotta hold the enclosure sideways or upside down to get it back inside. Sexed females can be pricey but slings are pretty reasonable. Will set you up to get lots of other arboreal tarantulas!! May leave you thinking other tarantulas are plain looking. Will force you to buy more storage space for photos and videos....lots of it.

Both sexes are gorgeous and pretty similar. [/QUOTE]
