I got some more T's this past week. I'm up to 5 now. Yes, it's addictive!! Found them on good old craigslist, got some great deals. I had told myself I didn't really WANT any rosies, but they were too cheap to pass up! So I have:
1 mature female G. rosea - 5"
1 juvenile G. rosea - pretty sure it's female as well, but this one has a habit of standing right in the corners where it's hard to see straight through the plastic! :/
1 possibly adult P. Scrofa - 3" - just got a lot at this one, also female.
The person I got them from was misting these poor little guys weekly... They were definitely not happy. Had barely any substrate, and the adult female was definitely cramped. Not sure how they hadn't escaped before, since the lids definitely didn't snap securely. Plus, I just don't like the way cheap plastic containers and Tupperware look. I let them settle for a couple days and just finished rehousing a few hours ago. I have some pouty tarantulas right now haha!
The previous owner said that the adult female rosea could be quite grouchy, but she'd never held any of them. But from what I've seen, they're all super sweet! I think the attitude problems might have been from all that misting... I held all three of them (with gloves, I'm a wimp) to transfer them over to their new homes, no aggression whatsoever! Guess I lucked out with these lovely ladies.

New ones, plenty of substrate! Sorry it's dark.
