On another note I am looking into getting an a. versicolor.
So yeah :)
My dream T!! I plan to get one once I've got more experience and time with the ones I have now. First time I saw one I knew I needed to have one.

Jessica, I'm so excited you're getting a T! Believe me when I tell you, that I had ZERO intentions of ever owning a spider, EVER. I wasn't scared of them, I just didn't see the point..but...my Versi (Irwin) fell into my lap pretty much and I couldn't turn it down. I fell in love with him, and just bought my third T lol.
I think you'll really enjoy the Versi, I liked how mine even as a sling was not very flighty and just took his time walking up my arm.
Now, just a word of advice, since my Irwin just died last week due to a completely preventable accident on my part, be VERY careful handling. I will now be sitting on the floor anytime I handle my Ts. Irwin fell off my arm from only about 4-5 feet and died from the fall...

Avicularia versicolor only come in one color phase :confused: They change color from babies to adult though if that is what you ment?
I'm thinking about the I. Sp. Recife (can't remember spelling right now on phone lol)
....
Thoughts?

I have never kept an Iridopelma of any kind before because I am not really into them that much (UNLESS you are talking about the I. seladonium, I would take one of those in a heart beat but I don't see them being for sale). With that said I don't know much about them but if I recall correctly the are all pretty defensive and quick to throw up a threat display.

I really like a lot of the avic species, esp the purpurea.
Im a big fan of blues purples pinks and black. Gray too and not so much brown.
