hair flickers bah lol, save yourself the trouble Testdasi get a nice female H mac
Have you tried getting her out of her enclosure? Mine will come up and tap my hand with her front two legs and then crawl onto my hand.Yep mine too, she never flicks hair ever. She'd rather bite than flick. Go with the Geniculata. I get alot of personality out of my girl. Chromatus are more aggressive than Genics. One thing I really like about my Genic is how she is always out and about. She will grab 3 crickets at a time to shove in her mouth. She also attacks the water when I fill her dish. It's too funny. Go with the female Genic if you do get one they live longer than males and get larger than the other species.
congratz LennieI just recieved my 5 inch female Nhandu Chromatus in the mail (10:27 CST) and I wanted to see if the seller was right about her being handleable. My Nhandu Chromatus did not kick a hair or go in her defense posture. I handle her straight from the shipping package. I thought this was the most "stressful" event a captive bred tarantula could go through. I wish I could post a photo. She is calm has my Golden Knee.
How big is she? Have you handled her yet?Decided to go with a Nhandu chromatus because I like the color better. She flicked hair all the way from the deli cup to the hide. Absolutely love it.
Thanks guys for all the input.
She bought the Nhandu Chromatus BUT if she is looking for future purchases you are right!i like them all, my chromatus has never flicked a hair but is aggressive and will give me a threat posture every time i "disturb" her, my N. color. is my favorite, very active and doesnt hide alot, kicks hairs but is somewhat calm also very hairy and you cant go wrong with a genic
i would go with the N. color.
Try it and see. I handle mine with no problems.About the three, which spiece tends to bite more easily. I've got a Nhandu coloratovillosus, is it handlable? Thanks
All three are a piece of cake to handle. The Nhandus are a bit skittish, but I let my 5 year old daughter handle them as well as the genic. And, no, I don't allow her to handle everything in my collection.Try it and see. I handle mine with no problems.
This is true but since it's sort of on topic and easily answered i'll bite.Should start a separate thread, mikie.
Hmmmm... Define B!+ch.Right now my favorite is the N coloratovillosus because she's the only girl and she's still growing. She is a B!+CH too!
Hmmmm... Define B!+ch.

Ohhhh...a threat display! So cute! So...well, that's about it. Let's see the shots of her charging towards you...repeatedly striking an object leaving fang marks and venom...you know, the fun stuff!
