I keep a large whiteboard with feeding date and last molt. It makes my life easy knowing how's eaten and who hasn't. I'm a forgetful person and that doesnt really go well with 50+ T's

To add an alternative to lalberts suggestion: Give them mealworms with the head crushed or mealworm halves. I've noticed they feed on them for a day or two and if they dont go to it right away, Im not worried about injury because the mealworm is dead. Plus, theres lots of mealworms in a little...

I'm with your husband on that. They are meh/10 (personally, I think H mac has a MUCH more striking appearance)

I put mine in a large jelly jar with about 4in of that jar not filled with substrate, within the week the little dude(nicknamed Noodle) had reached the bottom. I was genuinely impressed.

Thank you SO MUCH for this. Im going to spend a lot of time digging deep into this and talking with the users. I'll be sure to track my progress here and hopefully turn out a useful product for the board!

I understand that this is a big job and do not expect it to be done overnight, but what you're saying is what I would like to do. Not just a basic this is my tarantula picture, but actual taxonomical structures to properly identify the T. Thats why I came to the boards to get as much help/data...

I agree completely. Especially because we all(the common collector) have the data sitting right in front of us. All it is, is a matter of compiling/logging that data into a single sticky thread and bam. Successful taxonomic identification.

well, that was a wild ride start to finish

Tie oatmeal to a string and go mealworm fishing! but in all seriousness, you can only hope for the best at this point, keep a close eye on it and hope it pops up

Hello! I have noticed across the board there is great difficulty identifying mystery Haplos and an overall general confusion with the genus. What I would like to do is create a one-stop shop thread with taxonomic proven examples of each species to alleviate frustration/confusion/mislabeled...

As far as the safety of myself and the T, I've found it easiest to tip the vial sideways and coax the T into a bag with light paintbrushing. with the bag taped to the vial, theres no risk of speedy escape sling skydiving. I've provided a diagram demonstrating my process:

If you divide it, bring the plexiglass to a "T" at the top and place a double hinge atop it. Then mount a split lid. Like this:

They work a lot better if you rip that giant fake rock wall out of the back

Just my two cents: I have noticed when picking up T's from previous owers (that come with their enclosure) that the 'smell' of their house is in the tank. My assumption is that the household 'odor'(if you will) is held within the substrate and/or porous materials in the enclosures. Today I...

Tiny suntigers are the cutest!!!!

It's hers now, you must accept it and move on hahaha

This makes me really sad :( I'm sorry for your *pending* loss
