Absolutely GORGEOUS Genic you've got there. I LOVE this species with a passion. :D
How big is she now? Is yours a big flicker? Mine has quite the feeding response and attacks anything and everything that moves, even the water as I refill her dish. Removing any bolus is always particularly interesting because I have to try to distract her while I remove the bolus, otherwise she pounces on the forceps as well. {D

I was checking one of these out at a herp show and I touched it to check its temperment. It turned over and tried to bite through its container-FANGS OUT and everything!!!

Wow. She's a looker. :D I can't wait until mine gets that big. It's only 2.5" now, but is already showing some amazing color. {D It's recently molted and I think it kicked half of its new hairs at me when I was trying to remove the molting. :rolleyes: Fiesty, but I love it. {D

Mine is lazy. sits in her hide. She was up on the glass a few days ago and was trying to bite the glas that goofball. I can't wait till my girl gets bigger, so I can find her a B/F. :D

I have a 5" girl, a shy and minor kicker. Climbs around but stays under shelter most of the time. Pre-molt behaviour I guess.
Hey Bluerich I notice yours appears to have pinkish knees like mine, unlike most pictures I've seen here. That's a post-molt shot right? Mine's in pre-molt but the kness are very pink.

Very pretty!
I have an adult female, one of my first and favourite Ts. She used to kick a lot until she matured, but rarely does now, in fact she's a very relaxed spider - always out in the open and never showing any defensive behaviour, even when I move the tank. She's a voracious eater and will bundle up as many crickets as I put in and eat them at once. She always attacks her water dish when I fill it, then gets annoyed at being wet.
