New tarantula being added to my collection!

Salutations everyone,

Just as @ilovebrachys predicted, I'm adding another tarantula to my collection on Tuesday. She's an unconfirmed female Aphonopelma Chalcodes, about 3 1/2" in size. I've already paid for it over the phone and placed a hold on it. I'm absolutely ecstatic, I've wanted an Arizona blonde for a while now. Here's a photo I got from the pet store employee where it currently is.

Stay tuned for more pictures and updates!

Beautiful. Some are hair kickers, but the beautiful setae on her butt suggests she is not one. In these cases, they are so gentle and placid. Mine was my first T ever. She is now at least 8 years old. I just love her. You made a great choice!!!!

You will love her. My chalcodes is one of my favourites & one of only 2 or 3 I have named, it's called Hohokam, as like the ancient Sonoran people it likes to move substrate. It has real character & really responds to me doing things, around its enclosure.

Some time ago as I did something, I inadvertently touched it. It turned round & gave an artificial plant a big whack with it's front legs.

Glad to hear it! I'm certainly super super excited.

If anyone has any name suggestions let me know, I was considering Oswald.
