Just rolled home from the Hamm exotics trade show with a new spider, Acanthoscurria Geniculata. Was wondering if any of dakka's resident arachnoids might have any experiences with this species. Apparently they feed like beasts , but are also prolific hair flickers and a bit skittish . So, fun to watch, not so much to clean out and maintain, although I've never reacted to any urticating hair from other species i've encountered so this may not be too much of a problem.
So... Anyone got any cautionary tales or advice?

Cheers
