[QUOTE="Meludox, post: 74164, member: 3779"] Awesome addition! They're NW, but don't have urticating hairs so they'll bite if provoked and are known to be quite defensive. I have a sling that molted recently. Like most from the Psalmopoeus genus they are veryyy quick and skittish. It's the fastest T in my collection, and even though mine is only 2" I still rehoused it in the bathtub because I was so worried it would bolt, lol. Mine eats very well and can take down some pretty large prey in comparison to itself. It's also a great webber. The setup should be a standard arboreal setup, and I moisten the sub every now and again just to keep humidity up. Overall a super neat and beautiful tarantula. I have also read that they have incredibly potent venom for being a NW, with their venom almost being as potent as a Poecilotheria. But I haven't read it from anyone who was bit themselves. [/QUOTE]
