Thanks for all the Replies.

they are all pretty small biggest is the gooty, has about 6cm leg span.

I will give them alot of respect, Thanks for the re-housing tip I will definitely be remembering that one.

hahahaha i wont be pinching anything i think if one of them is running across my face i might die on the spot!! :laugh:

Still getting use to them considering a few months ago i opened my garage door and a small spider dropped on my shoulder and i screamed like a girl (wife still rags me bout that)

Oh btw Cascade luckily shes not a flower girl but gave her loads of Kiss's still owe her a few more, Shes spoiling me rotten last week she bought me a Avic Avic and a Avic Versi, So i owe her a big present.

Hey man. If you ever want to get rid of your wife please let us know

Very very nice species you got there. You're a lucky man

If you don't have a pair of long tweezers, do yourself a favor and get some. The big reason people get tagged, is complacency, getting cocky, or just not being in the right frame of mind. If you work with them enough, you learn newer, safer ways of working with them. Just don't ever assume the T is out of range and sticking your hand in quickly will work out well.

Sure you will be fine

HAHAHAHA :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks mate got me and my Miss's laughing first thing this morning.

I will definitely invest in a long pair of tweezers. I wont be getting too cocky these new guys make me real nervous, Collected my cobalt blue and Singapore blue yesterday. Singapore was real chilled but Putting the Cobalt blue into his new home was one of the scariest things i have ever done, He has been the only T i own to actually charge at me, and he's a Sling. this morning i checked on them i touched his enclosure and once again he charged at my fingers. :ohmy: I am actually terrified of that T hahahahaha :laugh:

whahaha! awesome! They have very big "ego's" the spiders that used to scare me the most were actually when I still had NW species still, was a Psalmopoeus inrminia. She used to charge at me as well. That being said, the Chilobrachys fimbriatus mature female I sold to Marius used to pose when I just walked past her enclosure. have a look at my picture thread. that's how I saw her 90% of the time :evilgrin:

Best thing would be to get a few long tweezers and some long brushed. I also use thick straws pushed into each other, for the biters, so they dont hurt their fangs when going berserk.

You will soon see, once you start getting more and more OW, you may even convert completely like a lot of us....join the Dark Side :starwars:

Its awesome when the whole family gets involved It used to be "my" hobby. Now everyone pitches in. My wife helps me with just about everything, Alexi our 5 year old goes to check on all the gravid females and whispers to them softly about dropping egg sacs, Grandma is staying with us for a while, and she is actually doing very nice interior decorating on the vivariums, and the little one, Zoe, she loves the roaches, feeds them and even separates them for us

Thanks for all the advice mate really appreciate it:)

Yeah he has a massive ego, It very surprising and unexpected considering its still a sling, I keep having visions of a mature cobalt blue chasing me around my house :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I love the fact that my wife is so involved shes now even talking about trying to breed and i must get more info on breeding etc

I've only had my P.metallica for a week now and all i want is more poecilotheria's They really interest me.

Just not sure which to get and where to get them from.
