[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 166849, member: 26980"] H pulchripes is just a wonderful T. Mine wasn't at all a mean spider. The only potential trouble area is their speed. They can really teleport. I think that they're an excellent first OW. Also look into M balfouri as well, which can be kept in a communal of you're up to that. My H pulchripes did dig out a small burrow. He was visible about a third of the time. They're a smaller spider so you won't be rehousing them a zillion times. The other nice thing about them is that both sexes look the same and are drop dead gorgeous until the males mature out. [MEDIA=youtube]feAEiIB_iyk[/MEDIA] As stated, they are a little bit photosensitive. [ATTACH type="full" alt="H pulchripes cage care 2.jpg"]44055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="H pulchripes hybris molt 2-10-18 1.jpg"]44056[/ATTACH] They're just super fast. If they were just a little bit calmer, they'd be an ideal first tarantula. They also make a good second terrestrial in my opinion, one of my easiest Ts to keep. I'll definitely try 2 slings to get a female in the near future. [/QUOTE]
