A. braunshauseni

[Elaine Ross]

Does anyone keep A. braunshauseni?

I have 2 coming at the end of next week and have read that they should be kept like the A. avic but was hoping someone here could give me first hand information.
Thanks
Elaine

Hi Elaine,
I sadly don't keep them but have a look on some care sheet sites like the Graeme Wright one or The Tarantula store. The reason people say keep them like Avic avics is because they are just like them, only A. braunshauseni grow to about 6.5 inches! Try also messaging Mark or Kim Pennell on this site.

Thanks Nicola

I will go and have a search for info on the sites you mentioned.

I just keep my Avicularia sp. 'braunshauseni' like my other Avics. Seems to be fine. Mind you, I haven't tried to breed from her yet

[Elaine Ross]

Ok thanks Phil

Are you going to breed from yours? I hope so as they are very beautiful.

Haven't been able to find a male as yet Elaine.

Thats a pity Phil. I cant help with that I'm afraid as mine are only slings.
