My beautiful chilean rose Tarantula!

Hey guys!
This is my gorgeous tarantula. She is a chilean rose (Grammostola rosea ). I handle her. She is not a flicker.And the friendliest T I ever seen!
She eats like a horse! And as you can see she is very fat!!!


I love her!

Enjoy!




Thanks for looking!


Richy. :southpark:

Great pics of a lovely T, but be warned thay are really addictive - we started with 1 and now have over 40

I know lol

She lovely, look at all her highlights

OMG John, what, OVER 40 (shivers at the thoughts of all those moults) Can we get some new pics please!!

Richy, do you own a zoo????

Thanks guys!

Kinda Tony...yeah!

i jst got a male chilean rose over the weekend but still havnt grown the stones to handle it lol they are amazing to watch especialy at feeding time

Work at it Davey!!

im trying step by step lol got a female rose coming this week so il try n get some pics up asap n if anyone needs a lend of the male for breeding before his clock runs out give me a shout

i was terrified of spiders till i saw some videos of a time lapse molt and thought wow! still gave me the creeps but i did manage to hold one in college one day along with a scorpion, caiman and various snakes. they feel so strange on your hand nearly like feathers. im happy to watch them but couldnt live with one in the house lol

Hey Davey, how are you getting on with the spiders...any update?

ther doing well iv to find my fone lead so i can upload sum pics but they seem to be alryt so far the new suprised iv never considered getting into to them earlier now ive started i want to get a good collection going n see what the market is like for if i ever consider to breed them

Davey sounds like a plan....loads of spider keepers on the forum...get around them...and find your lead, we're all waiting, did you have them out yet??

yea ive had the male out he seems calm enough to hold and hasnt flicked any hairs yet, once the female settles in il have her out to too, had to hold her when putting her into her new enclosure n she didnt kick any hairs luckyily enough ive got too calm ones ive seen some Ts more aggressive than adolf hitler when trying to be held
