Giant White Knee
Acanthoscuria geniculata - this is indeed one beautiful tarantula. My Giant White Knee, 'Bojangles' is still a juvenile but a bit more 'leggy' than the example to the right - which is usually an indication for a male (although the hooks that appear on the front pair of legs at or near sub-adult size are definite indications of a male 'T'), the males do tend to have longer legs and smaller abdomens - some breeders can identify these differences in small spiderlings, supposedly. |
Curly Hair Tarantulas make GREAT Pets!
Brachypelma albopilosum or Honduran Curly Hair is one tarantula that you CAN give to your Mother-in-law as they are most docile. |

This is one of my favorite Rose Hairs
This is my old buddy Rosebud. I took this picture recently. I think she likes to be in pictures. |
This is one mean tarantula
Although I've held this fine Haplopelma lividum Cobalt blue tarantula, Happy prefers NOT to be held as these are Old World Asian Tarantulas and KNOWN to be highly aggressive with NO reservations with BITING multiple times!

Black stands out
Here again is another shot of a recently molted Honduran Curly Hair showing deep dark color - avoid handling ANY tarantula for at least two weeks following their molt. |
Outside visits
Ensure outside visits are kept brief and closly monitor your pet to forego them picking up any unexpected 'hitchhikers' from your yard and carrying them inside to THEIR habitat.

And another T
Bee Bop, a male Honduran Curly Hair has much longer legs with small hooks on their two front legs, (distinguishing them as MALES) likes to roam as males do - it is their job. Males live a fraction of the lifespan of their female counterparts and can only reproduce after their final or ULTIMASTE molt. |
