    3skulls, I finally went to Hobby Lobby and found that grass.

    I realized I've never been there, that place is amazing! I don't think I'd have been that impressed before bc I was never into fake plants but holy crap they have so many and they're so real! I was in there like "omg I could make the coolest tarantula enclosures!!"

    Yeah they have some good stuff there.
    I'm sure I get some strange looks at times when I'm shopping in the plant department :p

    Crystal, sweet! Hope they hatch for you. Just watch out or you'll end up with them all over your house :o

    I haven't been able to get pics, but we picked up an H. maculata and a C. marshalli today. Both are around a half inch.

    An H. mac?? Wow please be safe with that one. I'm still working my way up and building my skills before I get one. Been on my wish list for a long time.

    Get some pics. I'm jealous.

    Oh I will. The guy at the reptile store I got them from told me the craziest story. This like 15/16 yo kid called them and said he has a rose hair he got from Petco and it's not friendly, it just runs away when he tries to handle it. They said they'd take it. So he brings it in and it's a HUGE H. mac! The dude asked him how many times he tried handling it and he said around a dozen. Craziness.

    It's still tiny right now so the first transfer won't be scary. I plan to just not have to rehome it more than once or twice lol. But I'll be very careful.

    I will for sure, I just have to move them from their vials, they have them all webbed up.

    I still can't believe that story nicole! Now obviously one story doesn't account for all individuals but that really shows how they'd much rather retreat than bite, like OBT's. I read that they can be very offensive too though, so that kid was lucky lol. I read online that featherleg baboons are even worse than Hmacs.

    I wanna get some ceratogyrus species, I'm waiting a bit though to decide exactly what else I want too... ;)

    If he was keeping a H mac set up like a rosea, I'm sure it was very stressed and not of good health.
