    Place that rosea on some moist substrate. I had one that looked like that the other day. I poked around and she never moved. Let her sit for a couple of days and she molted. Doing great.

    I almost always let them mold up before I call them.

    About half way through the unpacking!
    Couple pics so far.

    Ohhhh once those smithis get some size you may be getting a PM from me....

    The nhandu chromatus are cool looking, those N. color's you got are similar right? I don't think i know about nhandus... NW terrestrials?

    Yep they are NW from Brazil.
    They are really close but lack the red.

    The common name is Brazilian Black and Whites. They look like little 8 legged battle tanks :p

    That might be awhile on the smithi. They grow super slow. :p My bigger one is going on 2 years old and right around 2.5"

    Easier said than done but I'm going to try and feed my tiny ones a couple times a week.

    My mom seems like she's on board, just have to run it past my dad and then A Versicolor here I come!!

    My mom wanted to know how often Versicolors (it any T for that matter) eat.

    Grrrr day late and a dollar short! Setting up at the expo and did my preshow walk around just in time to see some one buy a B. smithi 5" female for $100. I was like 30 seconds behind the guy. I would have scooped her up in a heartbeat!

    I feed my babies every 3-4 days and my adults once a week.

    Some of mine will eat meal worms. A lot of my bigger Ts love superworms, all kinds of roaches.
