Here's a couple pics of my 1st tarantula, a PZB, or Pink Zebra Beauty (e. campestratus). I got her as a xmas gift in '01 and the spider addiction got me. At one time I had over 50, but now just keep this one. At my best guess, she is ~12 yrs old now, measuring 5.5" span, grown from 3.5" when I got her. Very calm spider, more like a pet rock, but I haven't handled it for maybe 6 or 7 years. I tried unsuccessfully to breed her a few years ago.
PZB's were first imported to the US in '99 from Paraguay.
1st pic is her in '03, 2nd is from '07..
