Yeeaahh, not to hip on the roaches either. We looked into them when we had the leos. Not so sure I want roaches in my house. Feeder insects are gross. I really don't like the worms. Geebes me out the way they curl around your finger when you grab them. I used to make my daughter feed the leos.

Dont be a baby! Haha
I think ill probably try my hand at T's someday. My stepdad and brother are deathly afraid of spiders though so i cant have any right now. They'd be outside building a barn to get some horses to torture me with or something lol.

Go look up A. versicolor :p
You can feed them meal worms off of tongs. They don't eat as often as Leos. And they are fun to watch grow up and change into their adult colors. Each molt it looks like a different spider.

I'm not scared but I give them a ton of respect.
It would be a lie if I said they don't get my heart pumping when I transfer them.
When I gave my bigger P. irminia her new home. She grabbed the straw and was pulling it with some force. She can also be on her hide then up your arm before you would even know it.
I have had 2 OBTs bolt out on me too. Very fast!!
The one that might worry me the most as it gets bigger is my H. lividum. The bite reports are nuts and they say it will stick you 3-4 times before you know what it's doing.
I have been known to be a little sweaty after a transfer :p
For those that are looking into get a T, make sure you read bite reports and understand what hair kicking is first

For sure! I can only imagine how much adrenaline is going to be pumping transferring my P. Ornata when she's 10" hahaha.
The fast movers are the coolest to watch! But are the ones I am most careful with (obviously). I swear my pokies have done backflips off the side of their enclosures to ambush prey! It's the coolest thing I have ever seen

I want some pokies so bad!!
How are you going to set up their adult enclosures?
I have played around with making lids for flipped tanks. I'm never happy with my skill of using the solvents and glues for plexiglass.

Re: Do your Ts scare you??
I started out very "iffy" about touching them at all, very creeped out. When I got my first, a tiny speck of a G. rosea, I wouldn't touch her at all, let alone handle. As she got bigger I built up my courage by touching her with the end of my hair, then petting her butt with my finger, and finally letting her walk on me. I don't really handle any of our T's for their safety but I'm not scared to anymore. I AM scared of getting bitten.
We currently have 5, a sub-adult g. rosea (rose hair,) sub-adult g. pulchripes (chaco golden knee,) p. metallica sling (Gooty sapphire,) a. versicolor sling(Antilles pinktoe,) and just bought a c. cyaneopubescens (green bottle blue) sling this weekend. I know I'll be a bit scared of the p. metallica when it's bigger as I've read their bites are no fun. I seriously want an l. parahhybana (Brazilian Salmon bird-eater.)
Edit: My versicolor DOES do backflips when I drop a roach in with it. It's adorable.
