So a CL ad near me advertises "rehoming" a couple tarantulas. The first one's a big Togo Starburst  gorgeous but...they seem to be giant bitey teleporters, probably out of my league.The other one is this guy:  N. chromatus, right? I've read/heard they're skittish and picky about humidity, but what do you guys think? I realize craigslisting a couple of unID'd should sound sketchy, but I guess this many years dealing with exotics, not taking the time to put up a verbose, descriptive ad just seems normal.

That sounds like seasonal or pre-molt shenanigans.

 So long story short my G. pulchra gal that I've had since 2007ish has departed. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled at reptile shows for a while and see if I can find another attractive, fairly low maintenance species to have around. Some kind of Brachy, Nhandu, or A. geniculata are probably the ones I'd like to keep most, but think it'd be cool to finally keep a larger species like an L. parahybana. I've got no way to really know in advance if keeping feeder roaches will be an option whenever they get that big, though

Sir Azrael posted:Have you tried an arboreal yet? Big Centipede posted:I've always been fond of Psalmopeus myself. I've had a couple Avicularia in years long past which didn't do well- I assume meant I wasn't conscientious enough about humidity for them  Also had a P. regalis once which was a pretty cool little dude now that I think about it.P. irmiia are really, really pretty.
