Howdy there! Long time, no post ... well, here are a couple of pics of my growing baby blue fangs! One of them, anyway ... the other is a tad grumpy, getting ready to molt. They have grown SO much since I got them at 1/2"!!

Thanks, y'all!

Yep, they sure HAVE grown!! Have been little piggies since I got them, and molted like clockwork. Not sure if I can get a closer fang pic, but here is another photo anyway! Sure do love these kids!!!!!

Wow! I think I just added another one to the wish list. So, are they pretty docile then?

Very Nice

I also have one about that size. Very pretty. I'll be getting a few more of these myself! Also the answer to one of the questions if they are docile. My bluefang is very easy to handle. However; I've heard they can also be very high strung and fast moving.

They are indeed a little on the nervous side, but these guys have been routinely handled gently since they were tiny. They don't love coming out, but they are tolerant and cautiously trusting of me. I only ask them to come out every now and then for a photo shoot!

If anyone has an inkling of getting one, DO IT - they are just amazing little animals to watch grow!!

This is a species I'm very interested in....I looked around for some care info but didn't come up with much, so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

beautiful spiders. The only thing that turned me off on the blue fangs was that I was told they lose most of that color as they grow. Otherwise I think I may have to try one some day :)

I believe the females still have them they mature but I don't think males do I could be wrong though its just going by pics I have seen
