Cause I know you all love Tarantulas


So lets start with the smaller Ts.

Acanthoscurria geniculata - Giant White Knee
This guy is getting a nice size to him now, and also a nice little attitude.
Feeding like a machine, I swear this guy actually leaped onto a locust the other day (and i mean leaped)




Brachypelma albopilosum - Curly Hair
This one has molted sinse I last posted photos. Looking real nice now, and definatly seeing why they're called 'Curly Hairs' now.
Feeding well and growing nicely. Also has a nice temperament, very calm when changing water etc.



Brachypelma emilia - Red Leg
Hasn't molted sinse ive had it, but definatly looking forward to seeing how it will look after a molt.
Again, great feeder and really active. Still love the look of these.



Avicularia avicularia - Pink Toe
This T is really growing on me.
Can be slightly 'boring' as it is always hiding in the corner of the faunarium, but that just makes it extra special when s/he does decide to go for a wander.
Yet to see this one actually catch any food, only seen it whilst eating. Must be a shy feeder lol
Something I do love about this T is that although it hides alot, as soon as you give the tank a spray, wait a few minutes and s/he will be out, walking round the tub drinking from the sides.
Also getting quite a nice size now.







Crappy pic, but this is what i mean when i say s/he comes out after a spray.



Brachypelma smithi - Red Knee
Still being a great T, always out on display looking sweeeet :wub:








Grammostola aureostriata - Chaco Golden Knee
This old man is still plodding along lol
Still quite active but starting to look a bit shabby now.
Been a Mature Male for over a year, I have the exact date he molted written down...But cant find where :ermm:

Boots, haha love that name!
Moulting is the tarantula form of shedding, just a bit more complicated lol
Heres a pretty good video which shows how they do it,

Males only live for around 3 or so years, where as Females can live upto 20 years.

The pink toe is er...... cute?...pretty?....

no.. it's a spider- more pleasing to the eye than the others is a more accurate description

I used to handle the Red Knee a lot. And held the Chaco once.
Dont hold any of them now.

Thats a shame about your housemates male.
Although it is pretty interesting having a male, mine became really active when he matured, poor guy wants a female.

Just dont think its worth it.
I dont really believe you can 'tame' a tarantula.
And they're so fradgile I dont like to risk them being injured or even killed.
