Re: Chula!

Very nice girl. I love watching them walk around. I went through desensitization with rose haired. I was terrified of all spiders with full anxiety attacks at the site of one. It took two weeks but really worked. I still can't hold a T but I was able to care for 7 of them without fear at the zoo. I've seen them rear up and the site of the fangs was enough to keep me from holding them. I would be afraid that I would panic and throw and/or drop it. I'm also ok with spiders in my house now, except for black widow.

That's great! I hope I'll never see Chula's fangs while she's outside of her enclosure haha.

I'll stick to Chula for handling, but I would love to get a Gooty Sapphire as a display spidey!

Sapphires are beautiful, would love to see one up close. We had a Goliath at the zoo too. That was one very scary old girl. She was privately owned by a keeper so we didn't have to care for her.

I really want one... I could afford a sling, but then I wouldn't know the sex until later. And if I'm gonna drop that much money on a T, it better be a female so it lives a long time lol.

There's a guy who's storing his T collection at my local pet shop. He's got hundreds of them! A lot of them I wouldn't even try to go near... There's some big mean spiders out there haha. I'll respect those from a distance. But Chula is a cutie
