Now that I have my G. Rosea my E. sp. Red seems awfully teeny in comparison xD

@Sandi haha that's my name, her name is Madame Red

Update: she molted, here is the picture I got of it

Here's one I hope is better, she absorbs any light that hits her :P

My first T was a Euathlus sp. Red, super sweet tarantula and I love her to death! I just got my second T today, a G. Rosea and I've actually handled her quite a bit since she really loves going on adventures. She hasn't been moody for me, and I've never seen a bad day from my Euathlus (Juliet)...

I'm thinking female, since she's so big and fat and no tibial hooks, but I'll let you guys decide **I totally misspelled the species, Grammostola Rosea. Sorry about that haha not sure how I messed that one up

Got this gorgeous one today, I'm thinking its a female, Grammostola Rosea. Sweet as she can be I'm so excited about this one

I feel ya. I'm currently dreaming about my second T while I'm still figuring out where the first T came from.;) You kinda get used to the craving after a while.

She's gorgeous, that's all the excuse she needs to be relevant lol

I already have an enclosure in mind, its a 5 1/2" tall, 4 1/2" in diameter soup container. Semi clear plastic and I can put in a ton of holes. Could I use that?

Great! So, lets say I get a 1" sling, how big of an enclosure should I give it? I know they need a tall enclosure, and as both of you have said a lot of cross ventilation. And is it true they grow rather fast? Oh and is it possible to go overboard on cross ventilation?

Ok, well now you guys have really made me want an A. Versicolor. I appreciate the help, I really know very little about different species and genuses and all that :p:) So how hard is an a. versicolor to take care of as a sling?

I *need* more spiders...

Thats such a bummer they are such shy spiders! I like the P. irmirnia for their gorgeous coloring, and I was hoping it would be an entertaining spider. Since I've got such a calm and... well... very inactive T already, I'm looking for something that actually does something. I used to be big on...

So which would you suggest, and how different are arboreals going to be to care for?
