Thanks!! The Megaphobema robustum is a beautiful T and VERY hard to get which is why it took me so long to get one - lol. The Poecilotheria miranda looks even better as an adult but you just got to be careful with them as they are super fast and have a really potent venomOriginally Posted by Cendalla
The Megaphobema robustum is beautiful and the Poecilotheria miranda is really cute in a fuzzy way. I don't have any but they fascinate me. I hope my son will take an interest in them when he's older! Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Thanks!!! You just need to pick a couple up then to break your fear
Thanks Derek!!! If you check out the defensive videos on the Megaphobema robustum you won't be sorry!! They have really cool and unique defense tactics!!! They kick hairs, they will spread their legs and bob up and down and they will spin around in a circle to try and impale you with the hairs on their back legs (called the cart wheel of death by some). The hairs on the back legs of the M. robustum have been said to draw blood. Should be a fun one to work withHeh,
I just spent an instructive session with those names and google images.
What are the temperaments like on the Grammostola pulchra? - they look realy cool.

The G. pulchra for the most part are super sweet and laid back. I have had at least a dozen over time and I think only one was overly defensive. Kind of like ball pythons. The majority are nice but each are individuals so now an again you will run across a defensive one. They are jet black once they start getting bigger. The off black/brownish color tells me she is smaller (if I were looking at pics) and she should be coming up for a molt here soon.
Here is an older/bigger one:
