Sorry, I hate spiders Tongue

Aaah, I love Brachy's! I thought about getting a boehmei at one point, but passed, figuring I'd save my space and money for a smithi or an auratum... I'm still kicking myself for not doing it. Especially since I never did quite get around to getting my smithi or auratum... Oh well. I'll just have to get all three. Big Grin

She's beautiful, congrats on the new addition!

Nice T. Great color.

Floof · 10-27-2012, 10:15 PM

Mmm, yes, emilia, too. At my last pet store job, we had a couple nice little emilia slings. The thought crossed my mind more than once... Tongue

Emilia is by far my favorite Brachy. Highly under-rated imo. I'm waiting for my Male to molt, and hopefully that lady I just posted will make a Man out of him.

Ill have to check that out, thanks. Do your brachys tend to burrow a lot. Im not a real experienced keeper, just been involved for a few years and noticed that mine all tend to burrow to some extend...i take that back, my curly hair prefers hides that I offer him/her.

blafiriravt · 10-28-2012, 03:47 AM

Way cool! Love the color!

Tarantulas are not spiders.

only my small ones. 3" + don't burrow at all. They don't even use their hides.

Sure they are. They're just large hairy spiders , with a few distinct differences from the true spiders we often think of. The original Tarantula was the "wolf Spider".
