Avics are great T's :)
versicolor is a very, very pretty T as well, the slings are great looking, and the adults are just awesome :)
A bit faster too (I just realized that I thought you'd be doing presentations for some reason :roll: )
If it's just for yourself... I'd get an adult female B. auratum (now that's something ;) )

the presentations wouldn't be out of the question, maybe more like neighborhood kids and such, but the versicolor does have great color! like i said at this point its pretty much research. I am a careful person. But that B. auratum is a bit on the expensive side, pretty but pricey! _________________ "We be of one blood, thou and I... my kill shall be thy kill if thou art hungry."-R.K.

For those that have been kind enough to inform me, no offense to any one else!, but i have decided on three species so far and those are P. irminia , A. versicolor, and B. emilia, preferably all female but one can only hope... _________________ "We be of one blood, thou and I... my kill shall be thy kill if thou art hungry."-R.K.
Is is something you'd want to handle? P. irminia can be a pain in the butt.. somewhat fast, and somewhat defensive (incredibly good looking females though ;) ).

no, from what I have read and heard i cant say that P. irminia is one that i would like to handle unless it is necessary, no i was thinking about handling B.emilia quite often. _________________ "We be of one blood, thou and I... my kill shall be thy kill if thou art hungry."-R.K.

wow that s beauti... i just read just about everywhere that it is not a "handable" specimen because of its aggressive nature. _________________ "We be of one blood, thou and I... my kill shall be thy kill if thou art hungry."-R.K.

Nah, not at all.
Ok, I tell ya the story how I brought the nerv up to hold Sol.
This picture was taken about a month and a half later after I had lost my Psalmopoeus reduncus to nematodes.
My P. irmina started acting lethargic and I need to check if she had been infected.
I had to slow her down so I put her into the fridge for about 15 minutes.
I am glad to say that neither her nor any of my other T's had any nematodes.
I was only able to hold her for about a minute. In the picture you can see her ICU in the back. _________________ Visit me @Tarantulas.us
