Green bottle blue & rose hair tarantula
Just a little update, since i was feeding the other day. Our green bottle blue (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) has all of his adult coloring now!
Cage was cleaned after this feeding, since he likes to leave roach wings everywhere, so no worries.

The rose hair (Grammostola rosea) was abandoned at petsmart when i worked there last year. She is the SWEETEST animal. Not just for a tarantula. Gentle. Her color is not that bright in this pose, but her name is "Violet" so that ought to give you an idea of how she normally looks on her back (cephalothorax, not the rump or abdomen).
Anyway, she looked funny eating her roach and lifting herself up to keep it off of the ground : )
