Message: <blockquote data-quote="ilovebrachys" data-source="post: 182752" data-attributes="member: 28710">We've just got an AF stirmi, I was asked to take her on as she has legs missing although this doesn't seem to bother her much - she's feeding well and so far seems pretty calm (no hair flicking at all) although this is likely to change lolWe've also got a SAM stirmi who has been raised from a sling.. He was so cute when he was little and an excellent feeders as he has grown he tends to stay in his hide more but makes an appearance for feeding time <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I think most people want them for the sheer size of them and little else - I love all our spiders but I must say in terms of looks there are many more attractive species than a stirmi but each to there own I'm sure people will disagree with me but I'd rather be honest, In terms of having one in your collection they are a must have as they are great in terms of making a nice bioactive enclosure as stirmis are the perfect occupant for this <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Heres a couple of pictures..
