-A very good eater.

The first tarantula that i've bought... It takes time to grow but once it molt, it turn out stunningly beautiful... With its golden stripes around its knee... A nice spider to have.. Did i mention it grows big?..Well, it does... The last time i bought it, it so small, around 1 inch or so... Now it turn out around 3-3.5 inch(estimation...Haven't really measure it)...cant wait till it reache 7-8 inch or so... A very good eater.. It just eat anything that i throw in the tank.. Recently, i just throw a cricket (after it moult around 2 weeks ago), it just came out the burrow and really pounce the cricket and went back to its burrow along with the cricket.. A furious one there.. Its always rearranging the substrate and make its burrow a bit large every time it get a little bigger... Interesting sight to watch... As for its attitude, it's docile... So far, it hadn't show any threat sign nor flick its urticating hair..
If anyone wants a fancy,beautiful,gets-big,docile,handleable tarantula, i would strongly suggest this tarantula..
