Maybe a parasite, as it was a wild caught specimen

Fried tarantulas are eaten in a lot of Southeastern Asian countries. @The Snark Care to share your thoughts>

Grooming ?

No I did not. Perhaps you lack the maturity to understand that I was pointing out a correlation between your dead tarantulas and you jumping into the hobby with advanced species

Yes. You just did that. I never called you any names, because I'm an adult

You posted in the thread about your tarantulas die and then in another you're completely in this regarding the ladder of experience and I am just pointing out that there is a correlation there . However you calling me a sentient tumor is a blatant personal attack and an immature one at that

For those who disagreed with this..You actually believe that keeping snakes is equal in husbandry and accurately prepares you for tarantulas, or vice versa?

I never said "your husbandry is bad" And a sad fact is that when keepers don't use the ladder system for keeping T's, sometimes the T's die due to improper husbandry. They're advanced species, and you should be getting less advanced species to gain experience and work towards more advanced...

Not sure where I attacked you, nor would I resort to your level of personal attacks. Trust me I would want to change the subject too if it was proven to be a hypocrite

Your improper use of the ladder system is what made you look bad. And a few of your spiders died as a result.

You don't move people in this or any thread. Caught in a hypocrisy and someone gets defensive and resorts to personal insults. I'm stating facts and your hypocrisies.

There are no such things as dead threads. There's always something to be learned, like how I learned that you advocate the ladder system but do not use it. ;)

Maybe to you. try having an open mind, and listening to experienced keepers.

Stop playing the victim. The ladder system is what you should be using to gain experience.

Snakes do not prepare you for tarantulas. That's a false equivalency.

Hopefully you didn't get either, these are two of the most advanced species and you're jumping right in. You should use the ladder system to gain experience for tarantulas.

That's brilliant. I wasn't aware you were psychic and knew details about my driving habits. Stromatopelma calceatum is not 'some tarantula'

I'll drive 30 in a 25 every day of my life before I handle my S. calceatum. Feel free to handle yours though and report your findings.

Sure, because those are totally equal analogies.

Its good you have a person to check on them. Have them periodically moisten the substrate, keep them at room temps, unless its a more advanced species, maybe drop a prekilled cricket in there before you go to keep them satiated.
