Hello everyone. New here and wanna show off my pretty little girl. Strange that I ordered a completely different species. Well she's here and there not getting her back! Anyone know what species exactly she is?

Thank you. I think I may now know. She has molted a few days ago. Now I pose another question. What is the best length of time to wait for feeding after molt?

No problem! About a week! That's just about enough time for his body and fangs to harden! White knees are great eaters! I used to give mine to crickets at a time and watch him squash them both in his fangs! Haha awesome T's!

She pounced as soon as I dropped em in . but she's so cute her color completely changed and she's now almost the size of a half dollar.. Got any recommendations on another species? The company that I deal with owes me 50 bucks plus tax. lol Getting excited just thinking about a new arrival

Sure! The B.albopilosum , B.Smithi and B. Emelia are all beautiful display species!
And the G.rosea and G.pulchripes are also awesome! Do a bit of research and see which one you prefer! ; )

My only problem is.. I love them all. I am on the Tegu tortoise beardie and tarantula forum. I can't walk through a pet store as I feel Terrible for the animals and feel I'm rescuing them from the worst care enough ever

Thank you... I do already... I am so excited to see her grow with me. Hey any opinion of another beautiful species? I posted earlier if anybody has any good ideas for a new tarantula for me since the company I deal with owes me some cash I'm probably going to end up getting another one.

I am a super fan of the Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens AKA Green Bottle Blue and any of the AVICS :)

I was just gonna recommend the GBB but you beat me to it! GreenBottle Blues are seriously awesome. Great eaters, webbers, and fairly docile but sometimes skittish. I think they're a great beginner T. And of course B. albopilosums. I've only had mine for a short time but I'll always recommend them.

Every time somebody posts a different species I'm copying and pasting to find availability.. They are beautiful. Meludux yours is beautiful

That's either A.geniculata or A.brocklehursti. I recommend a GBB or B.smithi for the next ome. Honestly you can't go wrong with either.

Ok...i am so excited now I have two on the way...and thank you everyone for the suggestion..I think I will get in the future the Poecilotheria Metallica. That one is beautiful or chromatopelma cyaneopubescens I love that one.. The company did not have a lot to choose from. I am getting an Avicularia versicolor and a Grammostola Rosea.. I have been educated very much as I was looking at everyone's suggestions in Google images and found many other species I am unfamiliar with. So thank you all for being helpful and patient with me

Congrats on your order, do consider a B.albopilosum at some point. They are so adorable everyone should have a couple ^^

That is awesome....i feel bad I found them so late in my day.. I have so many other pets that are larger.. Good thing tarantulas don't take too much space!!
