Thanks for the information, Jennifer. I am not too concerned about sexing, really. I usually pick odd names that could go either way, though I am always up for a challenge!! I think I'll start it off in the smaller enclosure and then upgrade to the 5 gallon down the road. Lol-I haven't even got it yet, and I am already making plans!

Thanks for the heads up, Richie. How can you tell if the tarantula is healthy in a petstore?? I'm excited to see one feed and make its nest-I've read they can be quite amazing.

Kurt-I looked up Avicularia versicolor and all I can say is...WOW. Drop dead gorgeous is right!!
