Hi Jamie.If you are looking for a nice arboreal T that webs a lot and is calm,you want to look into an A. avicularia. They are great arboreal spiders that look good and are docile plus do some very intricate webbing. |

The amount of time depends on the size of the spider.Slings and smaller spiders can be ready to eat again in a couple of days.Larger and adult spiders can take a week,give or take a few days before they are ready to eat again.They are ready to eat again after their fangs are black which will let you know they are hardened up after the molt. |

If it is too big for it's current enclosure then yes, if not, it depends on the other things. Post some pix up if you gottem' Bro  |
Ok mate, give me until later today and I'll get a thread up with pics of my spider, current enclosure and the one I've got set-up and see what you think.

Thanks for the recommendation mate I'll look into that species, sounds good, I'm on limited space so it has to be the right one. Cheers for the tips on feeding after a molt, interesting. I'll check it's fangs. |
Awesome, I'll keep my eyes open and I have +1 no JC50's comment. I have not hand any Avicularia myself but they are pretty common and highly sought after, I have also heard from numerous sources that they are good aboreals. Many of the species of this species are called Pink Toes if that rings a bell. I guess I always forget to mention them because (well I have not kept any and mostly) I forget they are aboreal. The definitely aren't as leggy as other Aboreal T's. |

| Thank you, I have 4 of them and if it's reliable to sex them by color they're all female, hard see as they only come out after a mist and that's not even consistent. When this one bolted on me and then hung out in the enclosure rather than running right back to the hide I had to take pix |
