I went to the herp meeting tonight here and fell in love with a teeny blue, 1 month old avicularia versicolor. ITS SO CUTE!!!
I wasnt planning on buying it so I havent really done any reasearch... well Ive been lookin for about a half an hour and found some pretty pics but nothing as far as detailed care sheets go. I asked the lady I bought it from she said it will be fine in what I bought it in for a couple of months and to make sure there is plenty of humidity and to feed it pin head crickets. Is that it? or do I need to know a bit more?

Seems too simple ;)

Ive read that they are fast and jumpers and can be pretty tame. Is that about right? Now Im afraid to hold it cause its so tiny and worried that it will jump and I wont find it. Should I be?

Any help would be wonderful I know there are terantula sites out there but for some reason Im just not finding them tonight :confused:

You wont be sorry... these spiders have almost every colour of the rainbow in them when they grow up... very beautiful spiders that are fairly easy to care for. How does it get better than that eh?
