Grammastola Rosea

[carpy]

Lovely (believed to be) male chile rose.

about 5" legspan.

i rescued this from an owner that didnt have time to look after him anymore. poor thing was in a bad state, it looked like someone has handled him, and dropped him onto a hard surface, as one of his joints has some blood clotted though he has full use of the joint, and is relatively tame once out of his viv (understandably still a little jumpy)

i have had him for 8 weeks, in which he has fed on locusts or crickets without fail. i have also started handling him, and he is starting to tame down, as mentioned above.

this spider is available for rehoming. however, a donation would be apprecaited, as he has chomped his way through a fair few boxes of locusts! also possibly interested in swaps - anything reptile related really

got to be collection only, or i could deliver around london at buyers expense ( or come to think about it anywhere along the chiltern line!)

any questions please feel free to ask.

pics available on request

[carpy]

definitely not bleeding.

as in there is a little blood still attached to the hairs.

cool I only wondered because there blood doesnt clot, so I thought it might of been bleeding without you realising if you see what I mean.

yea, nice that people are concerned

have even treated it with aloe vera, which worked a treat!
