They have out of this world appetites, grow fast and hang out in plain sight once they get a little older.  If you end up with a mature male, you can always swap him with a breeder.They aren't a spider that you want to handle but tongs are cheap and they aren't all that nervous or aggressive either. The feeding response is SO powerful that you don't ever want to reach in the cage by hand even if she's all the way on the other side of the enclosure.  Needle nose pliers can help you manipulate the decor. The males and females have similar coloration so you don't have a 50\50 chance of ending up with a less colorful tarantula. The slings do burrow and a generous sized hiding place is greatly appreciated.  It also eliminates threat postures.If you want to do the arboreal thing, C versicolor is probably one of the most spectacular looking tarantulas by any measure, definitely among the top 10 list of the most beautiful spiders on Earth.I do confess that I don't have any of the super friendly ones that you can supposedly pinch grab or put on your head for 3 hours or whatever since I have zero interest in handling beyond necessity.[ATTACH=full]29108[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29109[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29110[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29111[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
