I think it's because the irminia is fast, but still light footed and graceful.. she moves with purpose. The fasciatum is like.. on PCP or bath salts *shudder* BUT.. Here is the size comparison:

Hahaha nice.
I have lost 2 Ts, got them both back.
First was my Chaco. She took off at work and I had to rip a whole room apart before I found her.

The other one was an OBT when I got it home. Found it under the desk.

Freaks you out when they take off :p
I had no idea the fasciatum were so fast. Maybe yours is special :D

That's a pretty good size. I really don't know much about them. Mine are both starting to web and dig around. Can't wait until they get some size. Seem to slow growing.

Glad you got her back safe :)

Rotting wood.
I'm really getting into millipedes. I just have wild caught locals right now. I'm hoping the collection explodes soon!

Glad I got her back too.... and also that I didn't have to explain to the roommate and boyfriend that the only bathroom in the house with the shower has a tarantula at large :P I'll have to get a video of her moving... once I give my adrenaline a chance to calm down again. Haha.;

Haha. I know that feeling all to well.
