FINALLY !! After 2yrs of waiting.my new pet

[Porkbones]

I'm not really into spiders as pets but I think it's cool for other people, they're really quite pretty. I suppose I just feel threatened by the amount of legs they have. Congratulations on your new addition man

Thanks! It's been a very long wait

I also find my self on youtube looking at the american ones, thinking to my self if i could get one of these i totally would.

Now that i know we have them in aus... im still not gonna get one. too scary

Very cool. Just checking you are aware that once mature, males only live a year or so. Yours is a mature male in the pic.

yeah if he isnt eaten by his misses first haha

congratulations on the new additions mate they are absolutely beautiful, I love spiders and feel so privileged by the array of beautiful species we have in Australia, I would have one as a pet but my other half is deathly afraid, I was allowed to get a scorpion but I think that may be as far as I can push it haha

Thanks.im pleased with them both.my partner is terrified of spiders,even the smallest ones I have to remove and take them outside otherwise she won't go into the room.she puts up with the "kids" as she knows they are in tanks.

I've got a lovely Goliath. I've only handled him once but he was pretty chilled. Wouldn't wanna cop a bite from him though, nasty fangs.

Good work, I got a few aussie T's too.
Maybe you should upgrade and get a FW like me

I got lucky with mine. Walked in to get some rats for the snake and there it was. I'm pretty keen on getting a Funnel Web or Sydney trapdoor. Don't know too much about them though.
