So I thought I would try and put links and information collected over the years into one thread, to try and make it easier for new members to find answers to all the simple questions asked over and over and over again, and also for all of us veterans to be able to have quick "reference" as well as something to direct the new members to when they ask for help.

So, here's a quick table of contents and hopefully this will end up as a sticky! ;)

Table of Contents:

  • Anything and Everything About G. rosea (Chilean Rose Hair)
    • Post #2
  • Basic Tarantula Anatomy
    • Post #3
  • Premolt and Molting
    • Post #4

I'm sure I'll be adding more to the Table of Contents as this thread matures.

Anything and Everything About G. rosea (Chilean Rose Hair)

There is already a sticky on the care requirements for G. rosea that every hobbyist should read:

I'm not really going to get into any more specifics here, because this thread pretty much covers it all. It's good reading, so read it! :}

Hybridization

Ok, this has been a pretty controversial topic on the boards. I don't want to start a discussion here about it. I'm only providing info so people who have questions about it can read through the archives, hopefully have their questions answered, and move on. This will (hopefully) prevent more 'H' threads from starting up. Hopefully.

Titles-only search for 'hybrid':
