Whats the common name for that one?

hey Mike check into these. Tapinauchenius gigas (orange chevron tarantula?) extremely fast, reportedly voracious eaters, heavy webbers, aboreal. I'd think it would be close to what you are looking for. very pretty to boot.

Brazilian Giant Whiteknee

My baby versi hasnt eaten yet...:( i put about 4-5 tiny crickets in there to better her chance at grabbing one, and nothing. She came down and crawled around to check stuff out, but then went right back up to the top corner of her terrarium. Im just concerned cuz her abdomen looks so small...:( should i try to hand feed her with a small pair of tweezers? Finally did start makin a tiny web...

Do they have a good sense of smell?

I'm really not sure about that.
Good question.

I would give her another week to settle in. She had a good size meal when I fed them. They each had a dubia that first week I had them.

Next I would try crushing the head just a little, almost dead but still moving. Then place it in its web up top.

The others that are still here have tiny butts too. Don't expect them to be plump like a B. smithi would be.

Get a pic if you can and we can compare.

Mike, Damon have yours ate?
They did go from person to person to person in a short amount of time.

If you feel her cage is to large I can send you up one of the vials I got in.

Keep me updated.

Tiny butts lol.....we got these betta tanks in, 5x5 cylinders that i thought were really kewl...so i took out the gravel, added some forest floor and a water dish, and BOOM! Whatcha think?

Haha are you making tanks with the plan of a new T?

That would work for the vagans for a few more molts.
