Grammostola cala
Here's my Rose Hair tarantula; I haven't posted her pictures here before.
I couldn't really capture her metallic pinks, but here you go!
.
.
.
.
I still need a name for her, and I've had her for a year now!
Any ideas? Thanks for looking!

Re: Grammostola cala
What you have there is a G. rosea. She is beautiful, but not a "red-factor". I have 6 of these lovely girls.... (know of anyone who wants one or two???  )
Add: Sorry, as for names.... I stink at that. Only 6 out of 95 of my Ts are named.

She asked for a name for the T below the pictures so i meant i hadn't had any ideas on what she should name it.

Ha, I meant Rosea, you're right. I knew it didn't sound quite right..
.
Thanks for the compliments on her, everyone!

Definitely; if not even more pink. I couldn't get her color very well on camera.. She's turned a little gray on her body/legs lately, when she's usually pink/reddish brown all over. Is she ready for a molt?

Re: Grammostola cala
Aww; she is absolutely adorable! Grammostola Roseas are one of my favorite types of Tarantulas. 
As far as names go; what type of names do you generally like? I have a whole long list of possible names for animals that I've written down throughout the years, and I'd be happy to help you with trying to find a name for her.
Thanks for sharing!

She's about two-three inches including leg-span.
Her last molt was a couple months ago..

Well, I'm open to any names, really.. but I usually go for the more unique ones, or ones that have meaning behind them.
I'd love to see that list you've got!
