[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 100573, member: 4086"] So I just ordered three of the tarantulas that were on my "regret never buying" list. I had intended to cap my collection and call it good, but apparently I'm incapable of that.. Anyway, I got three females coming this week :) An albiceps, a boehmei and a smithi. While albiceps aren't exactly rare here, you don't see them in collections much, so I haven't aquired much feedback on the species. All the females I bought are around 3", I know the boehmei and the smithi will be showing decent adult colors, but do the albiceps at that size? Anyone have one? The few adults ive seen are stunning.. They have the same coloring as my A anax females, but are larger and much stockier, and their colors are more vivid. [ATTACH=full]20664[/ATTACH] Look at her..(she's not mine, got the image off the net) That ivory carapace, the dark eye cluster, that's just gorgeous..They look like a vagans with a light carapace, I just realized that.. I'm considering using a mixture of jungle mix and excavator clay, giving them a more authentic substrate. I get tired of the same old dirt look. Maybe build some structures with it too..:) And of course, rocks. They love rocks.. They're still kids, so I'll start them off in 2.5 gallon terrariums, for better viewing pleasure. My juvie male boehmei seems to like his. Man I can't wait for my Christmas spiders to get here :D Its funny that after collecting so many different genera/species, I'm coming back around to the traditional hobby favorites. Still fond of my giants though :) [/QUOTE]
