    Versi's are AWESOME! Mine is the most unique T out of our entire collection, I love his little silk borrows and tubes and he's just gorgeous. Feeding them is much easier because you just drop the roach onto their webbing, no chance for it to borrow.

    He's got more personality than most of our others too. I play tug-of-war with him with stands of my hair, just tickle at him a little with it and he zips out and grabs it and we pull back and forth and he drags it into his web tube biting it. After a while he seems like he gets annoyed that it's not really food and goes and sulks. Then I actually drop a roach in for him and he seems SO happy, he like seriously prances with the roach in his mouth. I'm sure he doesn't actually have much fun with it, but it amuses me to no end lol.

    My versi that just recently shed. Finally got a green carapace but legs and abdomen are still blue and some red hairs are starting to show. IF my sexing is correct, I believe I have a male :rage::taz:

    Get both!! And if you don't have long hair, I'm sure you can play the same games with unwaxed floss ;)

    Here's a crappy cell pic of mine, he recently molted. I've yet to learn how to sex so no clue on that. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/8ery8adu.jpg for size reference, he's in a standard size peanut butter jar. He's getting a larger home very soon. Although he appears larger in comparison to the size of his home in these pics than in real life, odd.

    Sexing tarantulas can be a tricky task. With slings it is much harder since you have to be able to use its most recent molt and look under a microscope. With larger specimens it's much easier to spot with the naked eye. I'll use my pic as an example. You see the little flap that's circled? that's the spermathecae where the female holds the sperm after mating so this G. rosea of mine is a female. No flap = male.

    You're welcome.
