Message: <blockquote data-quote="VanessaS" data-source="post: 71716" data-attributes="member: 4948">I am ordering a 1" G. pulchra and 1/4" B. albopilosum - both of which I have had before, and also a 2" B. verdezi and a 1/2" E. campestratus - neither of which I have had before. I'm a bit nervous about the E. campestratus because I have heard conflicting reports on their temperament. Even though I have had a small amount of tarantulas for a long time, I am not looking for anything beyond beginner species. I don't want them to be a huge challenge for me. As much as I love them, they can still give me a scare sometimes.This time, they are much younger than I am used to. In the past, I have only had larger females who have been full size when I got them. I am not experienced with anyone who is not full grown. I can barely wrap my head around a 1/4" tarantula.I will be doing a lot of reading up on keeping the spiderlings before April 17th when I pick them up at the Expo in Toronto. The G. pulchra is coming earlier, but they are already 1" and such a forgiving spider.I noticed that [USER=41]@Scoolman[/USER] has a blog for G. pulchra that I will go through before I get them.</blockquote>
