Default My new spider

Hi everyone!

I thought i'd share a picture of my new spider that i picked up on Sunday, it's a Brachypelma baumgarteni (Mexican Orangebeauty). I think it's around a year to a year and a half old, and it has a legspan of 2.5 inch's.
It's my first post here, however it isn't my first spider, having already kept a Grammostola rosea, and a Theraphosa blondi, both now sadly passed last year.
Anyway, i'm excited to be keeping spiders again

Thanks.

I got it from a friend of mine, he keeps quite a few spiders and looks after them very well. He had this one for the last year.

Beautiful I was on the look out for these at the BTS but i saw one juve, which i wasn't convinced was the real thing, and an adult female in awful condition and she was £150!

I will get one eventually :P
