SO! i went to go get a greenbottle blue, and came home with an amazon sapphire, gbb, and curly hair. the curly hair has a nice home, its about 6gal (20x6x4) and he's already burrowing under the water "dish". my avic. div. is in a large cup, and mister gbb has a good sized critter carrier. they're all super cool! i'm having trouble feeding the amazon sapphire though because he is ALWAYS on the top lid. and they're fast as hell. my collection will probably grow quickly since these guys don't need extra heating (i have them under my sand boa tank with a UTH in order of most to least heat needed and thats basically perfect)

Avicularia are awesome. Glad to see you're taking it slow. They tend to be a bit more fragile as slings compared to other tarantulas and need somewhat more precise conditions to do well. This is why I don't recommend them as a first tarantula. I recommend A.metallica or A.amazonica when you do feel ready. The latter is somewhat rare, but is a great species if you do manage to find one.
