Euathlus Sp. T's

so weekend before last i went to a reptile show and came back with a new family member...a Euathlus sp. "fire"...she's an adult female a little bigger than a quarter and as docile as the day is long...i'm usually not one for handling T's but this little girl is just so sweet i can't help myself lol

but my question is this...are all the Euathlus sp. so small and friendly? i ask because i've seen a few other species for sale and i'm thinking about getting a few...but i only want em if they're kind of like this girl that i have...maybe that makes me shallow but again...i can't help myself...i'm totally sold on the whole "dwarf" tarantula thing now hehe

thanks

I know that the Euathlus pulcherrimuklaasi is not a dwarf.

From what I've read E. vulpinus is a little bigger, and not so friendly. E. truculentus also gets a little larger, 4-5", but it is very docile. From what I understand E. sp "Red" or "Fire" can get about a 4" legspan, so maybe yours is not mature yet.

here is my Euathlus sp which i think is pulcherimaklaasi http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/gallery/showimage.php?i=9617&catid=member&imageuser=17368 i caught him myself at 3500mts above sea level hes still young and is a voracious eater he dosent seem to burrow and is active.

I have several Euathlus slings and so far the E vulpinus is by far the calmest.
My E. truculentus is not really spaztic but everytime I open the deli cup, it walks around non stop, not really in a freaking out sort of way tho.
They are still slings, so we will see how they are in a few years

No, your Euathlus sp. "fire" isn't mature.
If i'm not mistaken, Euathlus sp. "fire" and Euathlus sp. "Red" are the same thing, and i have 6 sub-adults/adult E. spec. "red", between 6-8cm legspan, and females max out around 10cm (4") from what I hear. Got a pic of one of mine in my picture thread in the other forum---
