    pink toe

    i found that my pink toe refused to web for the longest time. However, as it prepared for a molt, it began spinning up a storm. This happened again when i rehoused it!

    1st mail order T

    while i'm no expert on the matter, i've gathered from reading various threads on here that dehydration might be the bigger concern rather than hunger, so give it some water and some time to adjust. How big is the T?

    hybrid pic

    In regards to man manipulating nature, I think we all remember what happened with Jurassic Park :shame: (sorry, i just finished reading this thread start to finish and thought it could use a little something to lighten the mood)

    What is up with my rosea?

    though i'm not too sure about the "fir" mix. i've never used it. maybe someone else can speak more to that

    What is up with my rosea?

    when dealing with a rosea, the possibility of crazy is always an option. For the most part, my girl stays to the ground, however i remember reading a thread on here where someone observed that their t's were climbing the glass when there was a prediction for rain (Something about the t's sensing...

    Where do you get your tanks?

    You can always look into getting things called KritterKeepers. They're available at every pet store i've ever been to and they're pretty cheap too. Granted, they're no (plexi)glass tanks, but they're perfect for a T as it's growing and you can jazz up the larger ones (yes, jazz) to make the...

    After final molt?

    if you're certain that it's a male, than i'm afraid that the time left after the final molt is limited. After the final molt male T's need to mate. They develop 'hooks' (sometimes referred to as boxing gloves) to facilitate this process. however, if the T turns out to be a female, you have...

    Between a rock and a hard place

    Pursue creative writing as a profession, cast a magical character as your protagonist (see wizard, hobbit, polar bear wearing amour), make millions of dollars, buy your spider :)

    My newly constructed salmon pink enclosure.

    don't know much about the requirements for this particular type of T, so i can't offer any critical critiques. But visually, it's spectacular. nice job!

    Open Letter to my B. Smithi sling:

    But I’m sure you're not feeding roaches to slings. I've fed all my little guys twice to three times a week and reduce the feeding frequency as they get bigger/more mature. If you're desperate for a molt, then feed a bit more often. But like I said, there is a huge debate going on about...

    Open Letter to my B. Smithi sling:

    You could try feeding it twice a week as oppose to just the once. There is a big debate over what one considers "over-feeding" or "power feeding" to enduce molts and thus, increase size, but I'd hardly consider an increase of one pin head cricket/week power feeding. hope this helps.

    Which one are Webbers????

    if the chaco...golden gold thiggy you're referring to is the G. aureostriata (chaco golden knee) than no, it's not a big webber. However, when they are younger, they do a lot of digging/moving dirt around. Mine is very active like that and always visable. If you're looking for a T that you...

    Tarantula thrill seeker

    I second Kevin's suggestion. The green bottle blue I own is by far my most challenging T. To this day, it's the only T that's displayed an "attack" pose, and it does this on a regular basis. It also fits your other criteria, and is extremely beautiful. I'm not sure which part of the world...

    T. Blondi my first Tarantula! Need help some help...

    now i do not mean this in an offensive way, but what exactly is in this food dish?

    T. Blondi my first Tarantula! Need help some help...

    if it's eating, then it's fine. Tarantulas are affectionately refered to as 'pet rocks'. By nature, they arn't very active. Granted, certain species dig or web, but for the most part there is just a lot of sitting/hiding in the burrow. :)
