Hahah! You guys crack me up! :D Thank you. :)

gorgeous spiders and awwwww wook it wall we wittle behbehs!!!

has Larry ever sunk those big ol' torpedo fangs into you?

Shiver me timbers as well... however, seeing how many snake lovers have them I am getting better.. Baby steps... baby steps. :weirdface

Very nice, I remember the first turant I held was a rose haired ^.^ veryy nicee colection I stay fear holdingg them:(

Great collection! On a side note, your Larry appears to be a G. Porteri, not a G. Rosea. Until a couple years ago they were considered just another color form of the G. Rosea, but then it was decided that they were a different species.

No she has not and am very glad she hasn't, lol! I have been bit by a snake already and am not looking forward to the first time a T bites me.

Yes, I am VERY surprised as to how many snake people hate spiders! :O Don't they go hand in hand? Lol!

Psh, people say G. rosea are good beginner T and are docile but they are pretty sketchy. My 2 would not hesitate to bite! :)

Really? He looks pretty G. rosea'd out but I will definately look into it. :) Thank you!

Beautiful collection and pics!!! Larry says female next to it but it looks like a male to me from a ventral view? I could be wrong as it is not a clear shot or maybe you mislabled his gender? do you happen to have a ventral pic of your G. pulchra by any chance?

I was able to blow up the pic on my phone and it is definitely a girl.

Nice pics! Great collection.

You think so? She hasn't had anything to eat for MONTHS and it has been worrying me. I don't even remember when she last ate... :( I was thinking maybe he really is male but I see no tarsle spurs and have ruled out the possability of it being a mature male nearing his time to go. I'll try and take a closer shot of her ventral area since I haven't had a molt from her yet. I got her for my brother almost 6 years ago as a Christmas gift, now he's off in college doing his own thing so he gave her back to me. :)

Here are a couple of pictures of ventral shots from my G. pulchra Dhalia. :)

Updated pictures of my A. avicularia "Bitsy"! He or she has molted about 4 times in my care and has grown a lot. :D She's such a cute little fuzz butt!

The G. pulchra is looking VERY female!! They are pretty obvious when they are males. And with the Larry it is hard for me to really see a good ventral shot with that pick. Nektu said he got a good look and is sure it is female. But since you already have a female if both look the same from a ventral view you should have 2 females. Roseas are notorious for going on very long fasts!!! Larry's abdomen looks good so I would not worry at all!!

Thank you so much! Atleast I know I didn't get totally ripped off, hope so.

Well I hope she eats soon because she just worries me... It seems like she just gets irritated by the feeders and walks away from them. After about an hour I remove them though.
