    Substrate/enclosure temperature

    Is the T climbing? If so the sub might be too damp for her liking. They want it bone dry. Not to worry though as I'm fairly confident a grammostola of that size could survive at 55 degrees. They're pretty hard to kill.

    The solid black is like no other and they get quite large, you have no idea until you see an AF in person.

    Fruit Fly myth

    I have trouble believing something that has evolved as such an opportunistic feeder, allowing it to sustain long periods of time without food eating whatever it can get its fangs on, would have all these dietary requirements. They're simple animals, very low on the evolutionary ladder. People...

    How low in temprature can my G rosea survive at?

    Your mantis on the other hand won be quite as durable. Not sure how low they can survive.

    How low in temprature can my G rosea survive at?

    If it's a subadult/adult(3-6 inches) it will be fine. Grammostola are hardy.

    Critiquing my Care

    Personally have no idea but no genus besides therophosa or ephepobus should have humidity requirements that warrant isopods. When keeping these I feel like it'd be easier and safer to just use a humidifier.

    G. porteri female, eggsac -moisture and water dish issues

    I think you could probably pull it soon if not now. DO NOT DO THIS OFF MY INPUT ALONE. Like I said people with breeding experience will chime in soon.

    Odd indentation on cephalothorax

    I feed my adult grammostola 1 medium nymph roach every 2-3 weeks. There isn't a genus out there that can go longer than these guys without food, no need to worry.

    Critiquing my Care

    Don't wet the same substrate over and over again, cycle through different spots. This makes it harder for mold to grow. Everything else seems just fine to me.

    Sling worry?

    If they can dig out of collapsed burrows in the wild(solid ground), they can get out of some coco.

    My latest haul :)

    Most likely will have a few sellers with some T's. The more populous the city the more the likelihood of a good selection goes up. Unfortunately the expos in Portland usually have only a few stalls with T's and the selection is fairly limited.

    G. porteri female, eggsac -moisture and water dish issues

    How old is the sac? Also these guys even as eggs don't need, or want, much humidity. It almost sounds like she's ditching the sac, maybe it's bad. Someone with experience in egg sac care will chime in soon. Wet spagnum moss will provide something that mommy can drink from without having a...

    Haplopelma albostriatum and chilobrachys fimbriatus

    As far as I know not really. Maybe just look up there native areas for average rainfall and humidity.

    Should I transport my tarantula??

    Warm up your car before putting him in it. Quick and drastic temp drops can do a lot of damage especially to young T's.
