Rose is such a beautiful example of Desert Bloom coloration. She has those warm earthy cream and sandy tones, but what really caught my attention are the markings running down her abdomen. They are so clean and defined against that lighter background.

Then she turns around and shows off those gorgeous purple-blue chelicerae!

Rose is also a sweetheart. She enjoys coming out and is comfortable being held, so unlike her sister Zip, this girl isn't asking you to work quite so hard for her affection. She is curious, easy to interact with, and perfectly happy hanging out on your hands while she explores.

She is still a sub-adult, so I am really interested to see how those Desert Bloom colors develop through her remaining molts. She is already absolutely beautiful.
