Or Brazilian Salmon Pink Bird Eating Tarantula as she likes to be addressed. She is only a sling at the moment but will grow up to be about 10 inches in legspan.
I went through loads of different types of Tarantula but this little titchy thing won my heart. I look forward to watching her grow and grow and grow. |

Sorry to hear about Betty 
That second photo of Sam moulting is one of the reasons I don't do spiders. The way their legs are attached to their bodies is far too freaky |

Chileans are good but not the handleable calm spider everyone describes, they have a naughty streak. |

Amazing spider!! Maybe one day I'll pick one up. I'm not interested in handling them, although I don't mind doing so. I think they'd be a fascinating pet to watch instead of a TV. |

Really really Diddy, but quick growing and will be a monster size when grown. Not great for handling but I honestly think the same applies to all Tarantulas, even my mild mannered Chilean decided it was in a bad mood today and got all defensive, will have to leave the move to a new deep tub for another day. |

Sam is a replacement, I unfortunately lost my OBT at the weekend to a bad moult. Will look to get another OBT soon but when I was browsing this little one really impressed me. |
