Ok so the shop said it was a Brachypelma Boehmi but ive come to believe its a Brachypelma Emilia

Currently its about 3 inches big this is including leggies

I will keep pictures quite big so you can get a good looksie



Really bad pic but a "from the top" view



So...am I right?

xxxxxxxx

so am I right in that we are very lucky to have a lovely looking tarantula. Now the most lovely to me is the "cobalt blue"
But im sure that will be a few years before we have one of them

He is very pleased with his gift and strangly so am I! I wont touch it or hold it though, and im sure he wont but...never in a million years would I hold something as big as that

she/he we dont know yet.

He did mist the tank last night, she/he didnt like it. nearly ran out the tank. was only ONE spray. in the morning he/she was on the glass...I guess wanted to get higher up and dryer? or maybe just chilling out on the glass by the "air" bit

And, you should keep them on a thick layer of peat. As a first T, I thinks most people will find them boring, since they spend the most of their lives safely hidden in their burrows.

we wont be buying any more for a long while yet. I have always just found the colbalt very attractive with its lovely bright blue.

But scorpio, we have a brachypelma Emilia not anything else at the moment.

Well, it looks like a great first tarantula to me! Smile Lori says this is a gorgeous species.

Funny thing about the cobalt -- our friends' is NEVER out of its burrow, but when Lori and I bug-sat it was out every night! Razz It must have liked us.

Probably. Just give it some time; Lori's brachys don't web a whole lot. Neither does her rosie, actually.
