And It is hard to get a shot of her she spends a lot of time in her burrow. But I'll try to get her out and snap a few pics before I send her off ( friend is trying to breed them, damn near imposible). She is basically a dull rusty brown color with thick velvety rear legs (6 in. leg span). I'll get pics before she goes. They will end up in my gallery becuase they are to large to post.

So Jason, I decided to hold a rose haired that we have at my store.... I picked up the mofo, and was letting it walk on me. It was on my hand, and it SHAT on me! It was soooo gross...
WOW,I didnt know they were that smart,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol,,,,,,after all my years of having and watching them,Ive never even seen one crap.You are already so experienced now.If you get on just remember,IMO,if I only had one and tried to hold it all the time Im sure their would be the one day it was like,dude I dont want this right now,and if one bit me I wouldnt be suprised.I do handle mine,but not every day or anything,I just dont want ppl to think they will keep Ts for ever and never get bit.It could always happen,however its a little side note that makes them even more cool to me.Myself,I would love to get bit and then get to tell the story,but without actualy getting bit,lmao.Anyways,its just like snakes,you still love em even once youve been taged.Im strying to get info from ppl as far as if they will bite the arm they are using as a foundation or if its usualy the other hand coming near them or a wiggeling finger.Thats so funny to me that it crapped on you.Wonderful ,this is better than sat morn cartoons.
yeah they are such good breeders,lots of ppl give em out with other purchases or if not they are prety cheap for Ts considering in all honestly they are one of the most awesome spiders period.Speaking of,I got mine out dude,I put a taller fake plant in its cage and was hoping it would make a new fortress in it off the ground soooooooo,I got it out of its old burrow and messed it up a bit.Spiders are used to remaking a fort in one night so nobody gripe at me for messin this one up,you almost always gotta do this in full cage cleanings anyways.Alright,so,she climbed up the side,and out,lol,onto the bathroom counter,up one wall,back down,on the lid I was holding,on to the cage,back down up the wall again,back to the lid across my handreptech;2530601; said:
up my freakin arm to the lid and back to the cage.
I always do this on the bathroom counter because theirs noplace it can squeez into in their.I let it go across my hand because by then I figured it was just looking for ground at that point.So now I can say I held my OBT for about 4 seconds,lmao.I cant believe it didnt run out of energy.It was fun but Ill tell you it can go wrong fast.I just checked,right back into the same hole,lol.Oh well it was worth it.Man shes got about 4 to 5 inchs in legs,awesome.oh and I got the rose hair,its a female because when I whent to get it it now had an egg sac.Rather than leaving what most likely was a bad sac with petco,I took her home,and the sac,but I checked the eggs and they did not look good so just incase so she wouldnt eat them I started them in a little incubation chamber thing.They dont look good to me but I didnt just want to toss them.The best thing now that Ive studied like crazy on the egg sacs is to leave it with the female for 10 to 30 days and get it out in hopes before she decides to eat it,and before they hatch out all in the cage.So I will try to breed some later on.Leaving it with her allows her to turn the sack for the first 10 days or so.So with these ones I just roll them in the cup thing but Im prety sure they are not good.The rose just ate 3 crix and layed down some webs,so far so good.My B smithi wanted nothing to do with me tonight,reared up to strike,why I never!lol.
how are B smithi's i always see everyone talking about them and oo ya i just put a order into ken
They are awesome,but like most of the new world species,or at least the brachyapelmas they kick hairs like no tomarow.Just opening or bumping the cage makes them kick,but usualy these never bite and are know for being quite docile,my was in a bad mood.I pry could have handled it still but I didnt want to get tagged tonight,so I held my big ass obt instead,lol,for about 4 seconds.To anyone new to Ts the obt is a very agro spider and I was joking about wanting to hold it,I kind of just got the gonads while it was loose and let it run acroos my hand and arm.See,old world Ts dont have the uriticating hairs to flick at you witch means heir first move of defense is to flare up,run,or bite.B smithi is one of the most beautifull looking Ts,dry,mine climbs alot,not sure why,you dont want a tall tall cage because a high fall would be bad on it.reptech;2530808; said:
