Has anyone had any experience with this type of tarantula? I've seen some for sale and was wondering if they're a good beginner spider?
Many thanks

Hey craig, which particular Euathlus sp. are you on about? I have the Euathlus sp.Montane (velvet mountain beauty)..Im also a fairly new beginner with tarantulas and have found the Euathlus an fairly easy spider, but being only recently brought into pet trade(?) not too much info on them. I personally keep mine similiar to the G.rosea. I have found it will exhibit some arboreal tendancies and will web quite a bit. Seems to do well in the lower 20c's.Tarantulas kept:

personal experience with those is that they are very skittish, but not defensive. their conditions are pretty forgiving, dry and cool, being from Chile and all.
sometimes go off their food though, can be a bit stressful.Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
