I love them! Though never really had a chance to be around them. I want a T someday but my mom doesn't approve, it's mostly the venom issue of someone getting bitten, even though I wouldn't want a species with potent venom.:rolleyes:

Plenty of time to learn about them then. :p
They are on a different level from the snakes but awesome all the same.

Read some of the crazy bite reports, I wouldn't bring any spider into the home unless everyone living there can respect it, and understand what they can do. Some are so freaking fast, they seem to teleport.

I really love those cute little fuzzy eight-legged creatures. Avics have always been my favorite. I started getting back into them and currently have a female avic. metallica.
When I was younger, 9-10 year ago, I was very into them with my dad. He was the one whom had the HUGE collection, bred them, and got me into them. I loved helping out and had a few of my own. Idk if anyone remembers Chris from Krazy 8's....but we would go to his house often and my dad would help out behind the booth at shows sometimes. One of my favorite memories is going with my dad and brother to the big ATS meeting in AZ (I think it was in '03)...being bored and going along the perimeter of the hotel and catching lizards with an awesome experienced keeper, going to the middle of nowhere in the pitch black (catching T's, snakes, lizards, frogs, toads). Great memories.

Sounds like good times!!

Post some pics of her if you have any.

Mods, can you move this to the invert section?

Couple of true spiders.

And here is the set up. It's an exoterra nano. Still waiting for webs...

I wish I had a ton of those nanos.
Good luck on her being a girl :)

Thanks for posting.

They are the perfect size! I'm hoping it's a girl too *crossing fingers*. I think my next t is going to be a GBB...the local pet store has a sling that I'm just dying to get my hands on ^_^
