Tarantula Mythbusters: Detailed Video of G.rosea (Rose Hair)

[pernils1]

@jon3800 yes it is a nice name, but did ruby bite you? was it agressive? sry if i am spamming u but i am curious about g roseas since i got my first one a month ago today :D

[pernils1]

my g rosea is named ruby!! after the pokemon game! what did you name your after? :)

[Jon3800]

@pernils1

Lol nice. when I saw her molt for the first time, this was more than 13 years ago, she had a dark pink almost reddish on her carapace. Since it was female, I thought Ruby would suit it well. Its a nice name

[Jon3800]

@pernils1

In the 17 years I've kept Ts, I've never been bitten once by any of my Ts. She was mildly defensive, and was never handled because she was too unpredictable. I own now 4 currently, 2 normal ones (brown with the pink carapace), and 2 red forms, and they're all moody. It heavily depends on the individual specimen. There's G.rosea that are very calm and some that are not.

[AntiGravity909]

Typo I want myth busters

[AntiGravity909]

How sweet it is to own the current ugh ushers collection I hope u dot run out tarantulas to do these vids on man

[AntiGravity909]

Ya u can rescue all the vids u lost that are on u tube for sure I'm ripping them to my hd ring now send me a personal message if u want to do that I guess later man

[Jon3800]

@AntiGravity909

sure go ahead

[ryansloan14]

last week i put my g rosea in a new exo terra faunarium

today for the first time i actually saw her making a burrow which i hear is kinda rare

rite now shes laying down some web

shes amusing to watch

[Jon3800]

@ryansloan14

individuals vary. In the wild almost every T will burrow to protect themselves. Yes it is quite a sight to see 

[ryansloan14]

@Jon3800 shes decided to take a break and chillout on her log hide lol

[T0X1CUnicorn]

Hey Jon I have a rose hair at home and I haven't held her I a wile.

And I want to start handling again, but when I tap he back legs she does one of two things, she either throws up her front legs or tuns around and bites. I tried holding her the other week and she turned around and bit the glove I was wearing, Have any tips?

[Jon3800]

@T0X1CUnicorn

There's no tips I can really offer you with this one because you have to expect behavior from these as I said in the vid. All my four rose hairs behave this way and that's why I don't recommend handling them since they're very unpredictable.

There's nothing you can do on improving her behavior since Ts can't be tamed (they're wild animals) don't have the intelligence to get used to owners

[Jon3800]

@T0X1CUnicorn You have the following options

1) Since they have mood swings..I probably would try to handle her on different days or times to see if she's better tempered.

2) If she still keeps biting...I would stop handling her, as she's too intolerable to handling Handling isn't a good idea either because it does stress the spider out and there's you put yourself at risk of the T biting you. All the Grammostola species like the chaco golden knee, brazilian black behave this way.

[Jon3800]

@T0X1CUnicorn

3) If you're really bummed out that you can't handle her..I would recommend getting something a lot more better tempered and handleable like B.albopilosum (curly hair), B.smithi (Mexican red knee), or E.campestratus (Pink zebra beauty). However don't handle any T too often, because they don't generally like it and they grow defensive to it. Once or twice a month is fine but not any more than that, or it may become a defensive specimen

Jon

[T0X1CUnicorn]

@Jon3800 Well I appreciate the advice and I'll look into these specimens. And if I hadn't said before Thank you.

[njnolan1]

I have had my G. rosea for only 5 days or so. I have handled it almost everyday. So far it has acted very calm and docile. It will show it's unhappy before it gets into my hand right? I mean it wont just calmly walk into my hand than just clamp down right? I have read that they do not need to be kept (unlike most Ts) warm all year round. Because of where they come from (drastic seasons) they need some hints of the seasons like cooler weather in winter etc...

[Jon3800]

@njnolan1

Sometimes yes, but not all the time..roseas are not as calm as you may think. Individual specimens will vary so will their personalities over time. She might choose to defend herself if if she's spooked or provoked in any way, even if she's on your hand. Tarantulas aren't really sociable animals like a mouse or a rat (they do not get used to their owners) so it's probably not a good idea to handle her everyday. Keep it to a minimum.

[njnolan1]

@Jon3800 My T is much more sociable then my Robo hamster so far. I can't even touch it with out it trying to take nibbles out of my fingers. I think this is because I hand fed it treats for so long and it thinks my fingers must be treats as well.

[njnolan1]

@Jon3800 I will also take your advice and not handle it everyday.

[Jon3800]

@njnolan1

I've tried test handling a G.pulchripes nearly everyday. She was fine until one day she nearly bit me without provoking her. Once a week or twice a month would be ideal handlings but then again Ts do not benefit from handling...that's purely for your entertainment.

Contrast from what you may read...and what's exactly mentioned in the video...they do need a warm climate as they come from dry scrublands of chile. Keep them 75-80F all year round and you'll be fine.

[njnolan1]

@Jon3800 The scrub lands have seasons though. It gets colder in the winter and warmer in the summer. Keeping them at a constant warm temp can throw them off their natural behavior such as molting and fasting. I agree with everything else but through my research I will have to disagree with this one thing.

[Jon3800]

@njnolan1

I'm not sure why you'd disagree with me I've been raising and keeping Ts for 17 years. I've raised over 130 species in a room that's 75F at night and 82F during the day over the years both winter and summer and not once did I have witness any natural behavior being disrupted (you have proof in all these videos I make). These are optimal settings they thrive in. Understand Ts are cold blooded...they do not do well in frigid temps (below 60F).

[njnolan1]

@Jon3800 I wasn't planning on putting him in a room below 60 and I'm not questioning your expertise. All I am saying is that I have read in books written by other experts who disagree with a warm temp all year round for the G. rosea. I'm sure they do fine in regular room temperatures. Obviously you can prove that. I'm just saying they have seasons and it can get pretty cold in the winter there in the scrub lands of the Atacama desert. I have read they often rely on these seasons as well.

[Jon3800]

@njnolan1

Ts do slow down in cold temps, almost appear lifeless...not molting, not eating. As an owner, I'd never go below 60F to mimic temps they may not be comfortable.

Species like G.rosea are slow growing and have long fastings which I myself can't predict . My RCF sling that molts around once a year, and adults that molt once every 2-3 years..

It's up to you to disagree with me or not to keep your T cooler, but I personally would never subject Ts below their comfort zone

[azt17orlan]

Tus videos son increibles... deberias hacer unos en español :P

[HatesStupidPeople194]

well what is the best one for a beginner to handle

[njnolan1]

@HatesStupidPeople194 apparently not the G. rosea. I always heard they were extremely docile than the day I get one I read all these posts saying they are moody. Anyhow, I'm not going to be handling that often anymore. I was watching it groom and don't want any piece of those fangs.

[HatesStupidPeople194]

@njnolan1 lol yeah my first rosie was kind of moody she never bit me and i handles her all the time

[HatesStupidPeople194]

buying one tomorrow, nice video

[demonjack123]

No problems holding a G. Rosea and personally I would WANT to have a Rosea to be the first tarantula to bite me since they aren't lethal (except allergies) and it gives you a sense of what to expect from tarantula bites.

[Guitarheroadam18]

Hey Jon, I want to get a Tarantula, and nothing fancy, just a G. Rosea. It'll be my first. But I have to get it past my mom...any tips? And are crickets a good feed for them? How big? Also, how much experience to you need for a Bird Eating Goliath? Are they docile? Where can I buy one (for future reference).  My girlfriend will want to see my T when I get it, is it safe to bring it to her house and let her hold it (besides the handling issues) or will it have a bit of bio-shock?

[Jon3800]

@Guitarheroadam18

if you follow this video word for word you should have 0 problems in keeping G.rosea. Crickets and superworms if you seen in any of my tarantula feeding videos are the choice of food source I use and watching those videos gives you an idea of how big they need to be. Obviously if it's an adult, feed them adult crickets.

For your mom, just have watch any of my videos. You'll see that Ts are easy to take care and gives you responsibility

[Jon3800]

@Guitarheroadam18

For the goliath, I'd watch the Tarantula mythbuster video 11, which is a detailed video on goliaths. These are not docile species at all. You need some fair bit of experience as these are tough to raise,

Its better that you leave your T at home. Ts don't like going for car rides, and they can become uneasy. I would definitely add me as a friend here. I was about to send you a long PM however I didn't get through because of your friend lock

[gbotic]

hello jon my g. rosea just started pushing all her substrate out of her log and it looks like shes trapped in there i keep opening it a little but she just covers it again, also im using repti bark idk if thats a good substrate for her.

[Jon3800]

@gbotic

its an okay substrate, I usually prefer the one that comes in a brick or potting soil. she's probably in premolt..might explain why she is blocking herself

[krimzonlust]

hi jon , i just got my g.rosea yesterday and she's started raising her abdomen at over 45 degree angle and it stays up , is this normal ?, i'm guessing its coz she's still settling in but would like to know what you think, also i noticed on the end of her abdomen she has two bald grey patches , what do you think this is ?, she's only about 2 years,

thanku for all the helpful videos

scott

[Jon3800]

@krimzonlust

Scott, this is a defensive posture. In my latest tour video my E.weijenberghi 1 inch does that

[ultum4tegunz]

ive seen both my G roseas stand up like a Baboon tarantula.. mean spiders/ or very nice ..Powerfeeding is usualy a bad idea.. A avics are better for handling.. definitly.

[crazymangonewild123]

oh okay does the avic versi have an odd behavior?

[crazymangonewild123]

hey jon my G.rosea has a REALLY odd behavior its really active during the day but not night and eats crickets alot but i dont over feed her

[Jon3800]

@crazymangonewild123

you have to expect odd behavior. That's what the species is famous for.

[Jon3800]

@crazymangonewild123

Apart from being temperamental than most Avics, no.

[tidoissim]

Hey John, I got a G. Rosea a week ago, and she has adjusted to her new home well. I have handled with no problems, she likes going for walks when I take her out. However, She likes to sit on top of her burrow, instead of inside it. I dug it out, and even showed her into it, but she insists on sittin on it. Her cage is well lit, and temp is around 24C, is there anything you can help me with?

[Jon3800]

@tidoissim

there's really nothing I can do to help you with. It's a G.rosea, and all of them show odd behavior. If you're cage is very humid, I'd start drying it out. As I said in the video, these species hate wet substrate or any form of misting, so it could be a possible reason.

A burrow? I would add a hiding place instead of a burrow, like a half log, or half a flower pot. These species aren't exactly obligate burrows like H.lividum

[tidoissim]

@Jon3800 All right thank you, Yeah, I ment hiding spot in stead of burrow, so now I suppose I will wait for the ground to dry before showing it to her again

Thanks!

[ThisKidVids]

this vid was filmed on my b-day

[harrycallighan]

if you dont reccommend thistype of T then what would you reccommend for a new owner???

[Jon3800]

@harrycallighan

watch the video called T Recommendations: Good beginner Species. I went through a entire list of good Ts...B.albopilosum, B.smithi, A.avicularia and E.campestratus

[crazyjitt17]

i just bought my G ROSEA todayy reaallyy nicee shes about 2 3 inches

[crazyjitt17]

thank you .....this video was a major help

[jeramiekoval]

in america i got mine for $13

[kinglaz85]

Hey Jon3800 I'm new 2 the hobby...i just got my first T (Grammostola rosea)..been doing a lot of research..reading the tarantula keepers guide and watching Ur vids over and over lol...so I'm looking 2 next T it's gonna be the Brachypelma smithi I'm excited....thanks 4 all the help and tips Jon3800

[craggsterLFC96]

hi jon i have a problem i just got my very first tarantula yesterday and i feed him/her but i left it alone for awhile and the i touched her back legs with a paintbrush and DAME! it like lighting it just done a a thert posture and its about an inch nearly 2 inchs could you please look at my channel and see why its acting aggresive and yes its a G.rosea

[Jon3800]

@craggsterLFC96

It's NORMAL behavior

1) You really shouldn't be offering food this soon. I never feed new additions until a week or two. You have to understand she's stressed from the time she left the shop to the time you got her. You need it give it a few days. Of course she's going to attack, she's not happy.

2) Like you said in your nighttime video yourself, G.rosea are unpredictable. They're not docile as everyone says. If you remember my 3, all of em bite, no threats.

[ThisKidVids]

@Jon3800 have you ever been bitten?if so tell me how bad it hurts.cuz if it isnt so bad im not so worried.and also,do they hang on when they bite or is it a a quick stick.thanks go ahead and write on my channel if you like .

[Jon3800]

@ThisKidVids

I've never been bit in the 16 years I've kept them

[ThisKidVids]

@craggsterLFC96 i have the same problem i just got mine on thursday :( she almost ate my hand.

[gow2626]

i just purchased one of these spiders a couple of days ago and was wondering why he wont attempt to crawl onto my hand . when i try to put my hand down slowly it gets defensive,

[Jon3800]

@gow2626

that is the problem with G,rosea, they don't like to be handled...they're very unpredictable. I dare not even touch my 3.

[mel2thegibson]

thanks alot for this vid man. i have a question about my t's behavior. a few weeks ago i was able to handle my t no problem and take her out almost whenever. but all of a sudden for the last week she has been staying in her enclosure just about all day everyday. what could this mean? i feed her regularly and have a water dish for her and all the necessities she could need. could the time of year have anything to do with it? i just want to hold her again and be her active self again. thank you =)

[Jon3800]

@mel2thegibson

Im not sure what you mean by "she has been staying in her enclosure just about all day everyday. " Usually we refer to enclosures as cages and they are supposed to be in their enclosure everyday. You can't just have a T roaming around freely in your house.

Now if you meant "cave" or "hide", it could mean that she is preparing for a molt or she doesn't want to be disturbed. If you do have this species, you'll have to understand its not a very active species.

[Jon3800]

@mel2thegibson

cont'd

Also you might want to try not holding her too often. Like I said in the video, despite being so-called "docile" species, they can be very unpredictable.

I hope this helps

[mel2thegibson]

@Jon3800 yes thank you i meant in her cave. well her coconut. also when i touch her very gently with a brush to test her temperament, she turns around and grips the object. I didn't see if she extracted her fangs or not but she would not let go of it and tried to climb up it. what might that mean? your advice helps alot thank you

[Jon3800]

@mel2thegibson

Means

1) she's hungry

2) she's not in a good mood. With this species...it is VERY common

[mel2thegibson]

@Jon3800 makes sense. i'll probably invest in a mexican red knee next. it seems they're a little more outgoing. thanks alot for your help

[Patrikdelosreyes]

Hey Jon! Problem with my female is she doesn't want to eat and hasn't eaten for like 6 months already. I know my guy won't live very long. I'll try to breed them once the girl starts feeding again. Thanks!!!

[Patrikdelosreyes]

Oh crud! He is pacing around the tank for the past couple of weeks. I do have a female but I don't want to attempt breeding yet. I'm a newbie to this hobby and I just got this female. Her previous owner said she's been fasting for like 6 months now. I don't want to add more to her problems by getting her preggy

[Jon3800]

@Patrikdelosreyes

Patrick, I don't understand why you don't want to attempt breeding. I'm doing this for the first time too. It is very easy to do in fact, I made a video on how to mate them in practice with my T.stirmi (see the video that's on my page).

Trouble is your male won't live much longer. All you simply do, is heavily feed the female introduce him into her tank and supervise the mating and have a piece of cardboard to block them in case they do fight.

[Jon3800]

@Patrikdelosreyes

Cont'd...But please don't think like that. Mating is the most natural thing (like humans giving birth) and it won't give any problems to the female...

1) they don't suffer pain, they make an eggsac and carry it around.

2) its a rosea, at least she does something productive than just doing nothing.

3) you will be doing that male a big favor

4) If you get a sac, think of how many babies you'll get and the fact you produced them urself. Also you can make profit on them

[Patrikdelosreyes]

Hi!

I'd like to add another weird behavior for G rosea. Not sure if this goes for all, it could just be for mine. I have an adult male I got couple of months ago. And I notice once or twice a week, he would make a blanket of web anywhere around his enclosure. He takes a lot of effort and makes it really neat. It kinda looks like finely knitted white blanket. Then, when I check in the morning, he already destroyed it, or have it rolled over in the corner. He just might be bored or something.

[Jon3800]

@Patrikdelosreyes

Actually, this is NOT weird behavior. It's actualy typical behavior for any adult male species. What you are seeing is that he is making a sperm web. They destroy them after they made one and you soon will see him pacing around the tank... signals that he is searching for a female.

[AnimeGirl3519]

I'm getting a g. rosea in about two weeks, just before christmas, and i have a question...the pet shop assistant who works with the tarantulas told me that they absolutely need a heat mat, but i keep hearing that they can be dangerous for them, both in your video and elsewhere. I'm very anxious about using one, but she was adamant that i needed one and offered to give it to me for free. What's the best thing for the tarantula? I live in ireland, im not sure whether that makes a difference...

[Jon3800]

@AnimeGirl3519

Sounds like She's trying to con you into buying one. The are not needed. They are dangerous...they create hot spots in the tank that can be fatal. This is how my female P.fasciata died...she was packed too close to the heater when I opened up the package.

G,roseas are content with room temperature (75-80F), If you feel fine so does the Ts. I basically use a ceramic room heater to heat the entire room. I live in Canada in winter it gets -15C average and they live well

[AnimeGirl3519]

@Jon3800 Thank you very much! :)

[TheHardball1987]

thanks for this video told me pretty much everything i needed to know after about a 6 month fast my flame rosea is eating well and i noticed it was the damp substrate that was making her act " odd " i have decided agains handeling her due to her unpredictable temper ...but once again thanks this was a big help

[bigkennyj56]

Does that heater use a lot of electricity?

[Jon3800]

@bigkennyj56

1500 Watts, its not that bad

[stewjoe98]

@Jon3800

Hi, i just wanted to add something. Running it as long as jon3800 runs his heater wont use much power but if you have a drafty window or air leaks it will draw alot of power. Trying to heat the room I used to keep my T's in was futile. 1500W is alot of power running often.

[sithcdw]

i had a rosea that lived for about 20 years, my dad had her before i was born. she would eat every time i fed her. but once she died (2 years ago) i got a new 3 year old rosea. and she hasnt eaten for the past 10 months. i see her drink from her water bowl, which i heard is very rare, but is there any way to coerce them into eating again?

[Jon3800]

@sithcdw

there's no real way to coerce a rosea to eat again, as they behave like this for no apparent reason, and fasting for this long is typical for this species. My advice is maybe switching her diet to superworms or to B.dubia roaches.

[IcabodCrane]

Sorry for the multiple posts, I'll have to try and find the article to show you but there is a fun fact I'd like to share:

T blondi burrows in the wild have been found at as low as consistent 68 degree temperatures and suit them comfortably.

[IcabodCrane]

(cont'd) This is about an inch more than one would expect a Zebra to be, when I got her she was right around 5" which is the standard mature size which usually takes about 7 years to reach. She was wild caught though so this is just an estimate...she could be significantly older.

True powerfeeding though is both maximum feeding as well as high temperatures though, I never bring my T room over 74-76 degrees due to the burrows or retreats for arboreals rarely exceeding this in the wild.

[IcabodCrane]

Excellent video. Again the only thing I disagree with would be that feeding them as they wish to be fed (which isn't true powerfeeding) shortening lifespans. I've had 16 years experience in this field, and my oldest T is an A seemanni which is at the very least 15 years old use to feed like a monster. With age she's tapered down a bit because her growth rate is entirely dwindled (she use to pick up maybe a centimeter overall stretched length, now it's sub millimeter), and she's at 6" now.

[SaintandSinnerz]

awesome, magnificient, really informative and helpful >:D

[PDDM89]

jon i have to say that this video was done exceptionally well and the info was great nice video man!

[Jon3800]

@PDDM89

thanks man :)

[MrStevedominguez]

hey make a video on the Halloween crab please, oh and i think i told you 3 in groseas cost 5 dollars were i live!

[Jon3800]

@MrStevedominguez

i've made a carseheet not too long ago

[Gportentosa]

10 $ for a G. rosea sling? In Germany you would only pay about 1 €!

[AleBocao]

@Gportentosa in which website do you buy ?

[starboymachine]

has nothing to do with roseas but i heard nandhu carapoensis was reclassified to acanthoscurria? ever heard of that?

[Jon3800]

@starboymachine

yes I heard about it

[angelmouse432]

I describe Lola, my adult female, as having permanent PMT! Just imagine they are a hormonal woman and you're right there :)

[maybe2243]

i think the LP is the best beginners tarantula for owners that dont plan on holding their t

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

good video . excellent information . would you consider doing this for a Theraphosa blondi?

[Jon3800]

@ScrewdUPClickV2

I will most likely do all the common species.

[Weird2Strange]

I remember my old Rosea (don't have her anymore), had charged at a spoon I was using (I didn't have tongs at the time) to scoop out old food.

Also, as far as feeding. I don't power feed my T's but I have a habit of giving my T's a bit extra food. Example, you give your adult T's 2 - 3 crickets - I give my adults like 5 every week to week and a half. Except babies - 1 pre-killed item. I like plump butts, lol.

[craggsterLFC96]

jon just to let u know that i am paying 4 my avic avic next week and i will upload an video of me paying 4 it

[yuckyspiderbite]

jon i have 2 rose hairs and i like i have every thing you have set up in your chages but my qustion is that i live in C.A and it gets cold at night i open my wideo is it going to be harm full to my TS?

jon when i hold my 5inch rose hair i use my paint brush to tuch his leg and he usealy tries to bite it and stuff but as soon as i move the brush to the top of his cave he lets me hold him is it just that its the time of day when its okay to hold them?

[Jon3800]

@yuckyspiderbite

I won't answer your first question, I just did 5 minutes ago. Please check the comment.

Again, if he goes around an attacks, its best to NOT hold him. try later when he's in a better mood.

[yuckyspiderbite]

jon i have 2 rose hairs and i like i have every thing you have set up in your chages but my qustion is that i live in C.A and it gets cold at night i open my wideo is it going to be harm full to my TS?

[Jon3800]

@yuckyspiderbite

honestly, its never a good idea to open a window on very cold nights with a T in the room, it can stress them out, because they can't tolerate really low temperatures. I sleep with the ceiling fan on, so its not that cold.

[TheDarthHD]

Mine does something weird after it bites its cricket or whatever it stands up as high aas it can and spins in a circle it doesnt lay down a web or anything. Do you know why it does this ?

[Jon3800]

@TheDarthHD

no idea why it does that. Seems it like it dances

[Kikesh888]

@TheDarthHD lol mine does the same

[dacshore]

trust me jon, i wasnt trying to sound like we are better than you. sorry for the misunderstanding

[Jon3800]

@dacshore

I trust you man, it's cool.

[dacshore]

sorry i tend to add haha just to cap off a statement im not laughing at you

[Jon3800]

@wildman1098

I will continue the series.

[dacshore]

umm on one end of my tank it is 3 inches of substrate with a low heat pad under it. the only reason i do this is because it occasionally gets really cold at night. should i continue to use it if i watch and make sure it doesnt dig too deep?

[Jon3800]

@dacshore

I'd keep a close eye on it if I were you.

I don't get why you'd laugh about the prices are in Canada, cause it's really unnecessary, as there are certain countries were rose hairs are even double the price. $20 is average priced. Some stores/dealers are competitive and will sell them for lower prices.

You're very lucky to live in the US, you aren't doubly taxed for purchases, and the hobby is larger over there and some of them, I agree are cheap, but its not always true

[dacshore]

idk what the difference in currency it is in canada but in the states its $12 haha

[tarantulaguy1998]

so what Ive seen more good rose hairs than evil

[Jon3800]

@tarantulaguy1998

true, but for how long do the good behavior last? Charlotte was a good girl before she became mean. I've owned 5 rosea since I started collecting, 3 you see here, one died at 25, Ruby if you remember, and Fang was the very first T I got.

Out of the 5, Only fang was the most docile Rose hair I've worked with. The others are happy to throw threats

[GBNKP]

Very Good video Jon! It would be great if you could do some more videos for other species, even the B.smithi although the G.rosea seems very similar.

Thanks again!

sam

[Jon3800]

@GBNKP

I will do the B.smithi

[GBNKP]

@Jon3800 nice! thanks!

[Jon3800]

@imbocca

thanks man

[taboomoko]

great video jon. i was considering doing videos like this starting next year once my research is under way. thumbs up buddy :)

[Jon3800]

@taboomoko Is the research about tarantulas?

[taboomoko]

@TarantulaAddict ---yeah, I'm working on gathering as much info as I can to create a database and web page on t's. From a-z, top to bottom. Gonna try and make this thing a site that will definitely help those who need it ::::)

[TarantulaAddict]

@taboomoko Cool, sounds like a great idea but also like a lot of hard work! Are you covering the species available in the pet trade and their care etc? Or all known species? Keep us updated :)

Great video Jon 

[Rudi1034]

What a GREAT idea for a video!!!! It would be awesome if you could do one on several T's. I am a almost Ex=Arachnophobe thinking of maybe getting a A. Versicolor. Is there any way you could make this kind of video on that type sometime?

@Rudi1034

I think I will.

You have no idea how desperately I've wanted some concise well advised info on everything about G.rosea I've asked and looked around the internet but advice is so sporadic. Fortunately I won't have to look around anymore!

Great stuff Jon. Loved the part about age vs. size. So few people realize that.
