He is totally mold-less now, and I'll be leaving him in that container for a few days just to make sure. It seems like all the legs he lost were the ones that had the worst mold spots on them. He's hanging out on the wall of his kk with his 4 legs like nothing ever happened now, so it seems like...
Okay, so I had him in a small kk for ventilation, with no substrate but some paper towels (unmoistened) and a small water bottle cap with some water in it to keep him from getting dehydrated, and this morning he tried to molt. I had been noticing some of his legs were not moving correctly, like...
I just checked out his underside with a magnifying glass (he is only about 2.5"), and I cant see any mold near his lungs or on his underside at all, it seems to be only on the legs, which is strange - but I'm hoping that also means there is a chance he might be okay. I had applied some...
I use sphagnum peat moss, but I use that for all of my Ts, and have had no problem. I have the other 2 cyrios in the same kind of containers as the one with the mold, they are those amac boxes you get from the container store, with a ton of holes drilled in on the sides and top. I've also been...
I have 3 cyriopagopus sp. blue slings, when I got them, all 3 were in one container, and the container had very bad mold in it. 2 of the slings have been fine, but one has had a recurring mold problem that has just gotten much worse. I had rehoused them all immediately when I received them, and...
I have an iridopelma hirsutum thats about 2", they are really cool looking even as slings and just get cooler looking with each molt, but they are super fast and defensive, for example mine threatens water droplets sometimes when I spray the cage, and has jumped about a foot into the air before...
I do think an avic would be a great gift (I got one as a bday present). Mine is super mellow and has never even attempted an escape. They are very pretty and my avic avic has been my easiest T to take care of by far. Really I dont think their being arboreal in and of itself makes them more...
I think they usually line their tunnels with web and that holds it up - a few of mine have crazy burrows and chambers but none have ever collapsed, so I wouldnt worry about it. Another reason I have seen them close off the entrances to their burrows seems to have to do with the temp- we had to...
I used to be a bank teller and across from the bank there was this pet store, and one day when I was on break I went in and they had this lovely big a. mod there. I'd never seen a tarantula before in my life, but I thought she was beautiful and wanted to learn all about them. I ended up getting...
