Tarantulas and Spiders

[Mike41793]

Get something from the brachypelma or grammostola genus.

I have a B. boehmei and a G. pulchra. Right now they're both still pretty small without any adult colors really. But as adults they'll be wicked awesome looking. The pulchras are velvet black colored and the boehmei will have sweet red legs with a black body. If you like the color red then go for a brachypelma.

Thanks for the helpful advice guys!
Is the B. boehmei anything like the G. pulchripes in terms of a "beginner spider" I really like the red on it! The gold colors on the other is awesome to tho!

I have such a rush right now! I just successfully mated my A. chalcodes!!! I went in to do my nightly rounds and the male was drumming away on the divider in the tank and the female was tapping away on the substrate. I had tried earlier this evening while my buddy was here to help me and to teach me how to do it. The male had no interest at that time. So I took the gamble and did it all by myself! I did it and didnt lose anyone! so friggin Stoked right now! My hearts pounding like I just chugged a BFC monster! lol. Anyone who clicks thanks on this post in the next 24 hours and is willing to pay shipping can have an az blonde sling from this potential sac free! Providing all goes well and I end up with healthy slings in a few months!

So what will the little guys look like?? And as they mature??

Lol I meant to "quote," not "thank". Pretty much anything in those genus' Mike suggested are good beginners, the boehmei are a bit more "spazzy" though, skittish and not as calm. They aren't likely to bite but they flick hairs. There are quite a few good beginner species. Look up green bottle blue/ C. cyaneopubescens, they're a good beginner species and GORGEOUS, but also not quite as calm. My main reason for suggesting the G. pulchripes is that they are very cheap in addition to all the perfect "beginner spider qualities." I figure a lot of ppl may not want to buy an expensive first spider.

G. rosea are also very cheap and can be a good beginner but they sometimes go on looooong fasts, I had one go 2 years. So I'm a bit less likely to recommend them.

I 2nd G. pulchripes
They are a great first T or a great addition to any collection. They grow a little bit quicker so you can get more experience as they do.
Something like a B. smithi or G. rosea is going to grow much slower.

Can anybody take a guess of the sex of this P. Metallica?

[3skulls]

I'm no good at sexing them that way.

Very pretty spider!

It looks pretty blue and i think i see a flap so i'd say female...?

Some pokies you can tell by their markings on the carapace too i think.
