Well yes she is lovely. I'm happy for you, but not for me thanks. Seriously, I think it's great, but obviously not for everyone. We had an iguana years ago, that was about as exotic as I get. I like Melinda, oh yeah, she's just like ours.... Bet you weren't expecting that were you Akira!

Actually I'm not surprised at all that someone on here has one or knows someone with this particular Tarantula. They are considered to be the most doscile Tarantula. My boyfriend had one that passed away about 5years ago, and used to let him crawl on his face, arms, etc.
**Melinda** how big is the spider at 7 years old? Do they feed with mice? We had purchased a metallic pink toe tarantula (very cute) few months back and she had alot of trouble shedding her skin. Usually it doesnt take too long to shed, but she was at it for almost a week and died as a result of it. So we decided to pick another up from a more reliable source There very interesting specimens and its quite the hobby. You guys should check out the bird eating tarantulas that thousands of people across the world house as pets . 12" legspan heres a couple pictures of "Ava" short for Avicularia Metallica, common name "metallic pink toe"

ohhhhhhh We had one as well The pink Toe
my DS's his name was "Fluffy" LOL But due to him moving to a 60 gallon tank he couldnt get his food (live crickets) So unfortunatly he passed 2yrs ago But we had him for 5. Walked all over us & even made friends with the cats. It used to drive me nuts the crickets chirping all winter long. The first time he molted I freaked I thought there was 2 Spiders in cage. We still have the tank & everything for it. my DS wants another one. |

I'm guessing she feels soft, I havent touched her yet. But when she walks on you, she drops little hairs that makes your skin itchy. Right now we feed her live crickets, shes not very interested in them though, shes still trying to figure out schedules like when its dark and when its light, when its warm and when its cold, what season it is. These little creatures are very smart. She is actualy harmful, but 1 out of 1000 rosehairs bite, their one of the most docile. But if you do get bit, it swells up really bad and your in pain for a day or 2, nothing serious. Your brave diamondsmum, we were a little uneasy about handling the pink toe cause they can jump. Their great climbers though. Thats so cool that your cats liked the spider. We're not letting the spider crawl on us yet, we want her to get used to her home before we start handling her.

Great pics and gorgeous to look at as long as they are in their tank.
I would totally freak if one of them crawled on me though. |

I might freak too lol. I used to be REALLY scared of spiders, I still hate daddy long legs. But having a tarantula and getting to see how neat they really are helps with getting over my fear. Still don't know if i'll ever touch it though.

Akira,I used to be terrified of spiders as a kid,but now I actually like them,yours is beautiful,I could probably adjust to having her crawl up my arm,I think
Feeding her live things though,I would not like,I kind of like crickets too:sad:

She's quite lovely. I love her hairy little legs. Her digs are pretty snazzy too! Very nice.
Do you have something you can put her next to so we can get an idea of how big she is?

I know someone with one and have been told if you show fear well letting them walk on you raises the chance of getting bitten.

Chico - I don't really like feeding her crickets either. Once, we didn't have any lettuce so I gave them some potato chips. Hearing the little crunch noises when they were eating the chips was so cute. But, Rosy's gotta eat. :sad: Thats a sweet story, that would probably make me not fear them too. The first time I strated to not be scared of them, me and my boyfriend were cleaning out the storage space under the stairs and a HUGE (biggest house spider I have EVER seen) Brown recluse spider came out, we put him in a mason jar and fed him bugs we could find outside lol. Right after we cought the thing, I check my email and I have a forward about the most vemous spider in canada... the Brown recluse lol. We decided to flush it.
Angeldogs - Thats true what you heard. They can feel the elevation of your heart rate. It will rarely make them bite, but it will make them aware and uncomfortable, and probably drop itchy hairs.
