I bet she can manage more words per minute than I can with those legs!!

Johanna,
One thing I'll tell you is she's one of my favorite tarantulas. She does unusual things; always keeping me guessing. For one, she's mild mannered, yet, extremely curious. She touches everything around her, as if she's trying to figure out what the objects are.

Another thing she does often is cross her spinnerets. Perhaps it's good luck whenever she does that, so I'll pass it on to you all.

OMG that's bonkers! Look at that!

She really is a character! So she's mild mannered enough then is she?

Mine is currently only a small juvenile and only arrived today, a beautiful specimen but was quite skittish when transferring into temporary accomodation.

Hope it settles soon, I want some nice photos for the board!

Johanna,
Yes, my girl is relatively calm. It's no problem taking her out from time to time. I can touch her, but I'd rather not handle her. Better she sits on a solid surface and stays put. She sits still as long as nothing startles her. I once had a male that was quite nervous. I think the temperments vary a lot.

I wish you good luck with your young one. Get some baby pics soon otherwise it will be too late! They grow fast. Keep us posted!

Nice talking from across the world,

Will do Rhys (Good Welsh name there too!)

It's been lovely coming here and meeting such welcoming friendly people, who are all so passionate about these amazing creatures!

As soon as I can get some pics they are going up on the site!

For the record, hardly anyone here in the USA knows that bit of trivia!!
