I owned one of these lovely tarantulas in my early years of keeping spiders, and always wanted to buy some more again, so when seeing some slings for sale in my local reptile traders, and feeling sorry for them stuck in film pots, I brought a few.
They have a docile temperament, even my small slings stay out in open, when I open the lids of the containers, and pounce on the crickets as I drop them in. A very attractive spider with a bronze colored carapace, dark brown legs and covered in pinkish curly hair. Humidity must be kept high for this rainforest species, so regular misting is important, I keep a small bowl of water with small pebbles for the slings to drink. Looking forward to seeing these as full grown, and I will probably buy some more in the future. Although a burrowing speeches, I find they do not hide all the time, and they will use a artificial hide if provided.
