So what you are saying is that you won't trade them till they are 4-5" in. I myself like to buy slings only. More interested in watching Ts grow and know it's history. But that's just me. ;)

Yeah dish trick never worked for me too, chopped up or alive. From them not wanting the mealworms to digging them up. Somewhere in between I have tested just pinching their heads to feeding with tools. Pinching head worked but the Ts would take awhile to get to the worm, unless the worm...

lubricant? Isn't that gonna hurt the T really bad? I mean it would be really sticky sinces it full of hairs. I don't think they can climb or anything after that. :eek:

b.boehmei and I am leaning on female, look at those lashs! What male T would have such long and curly lashs? :D

Those of you who can go to your local petco and get Ts is lucky. I went to my local petco like a month ago. I was so glad to see that they had 2 slots for Ts with the picture and price and all. Then I saw the waterdish was flipped over. I left figuring they were just out of stock or it just...

I had trouble with mealworms when I first started feeding them to my two Ts, but thats a thing of the pass. At first I was worried that the worms would burrow or chew at my Ts but its nothing to worry about. I no longer pinch their heads or anything before feeding. The reason was that one...

My b.boehmei molted today and I just got home. When I left it was in its hide on its back. Now its done with the molt and it appears that its eating the left over shell? Should I remove it but how would I remove it since its in its hide and I don't wanna hurt the T since its fresh out of a molt...

This is a bit of the subject, but is there different types of cork bark out there?

My T was climbing the side of the tank and it was shaking abdomen. After that it crawled around and I noticed the area on the glass had some little droplets of water on it. Is this urine? :?

What type of substrate is that you using? And nice T! :)

That is a really nice pic and very nice looking T. b.boehmei pics like that is what got me into the hobby. I can't wait till mine grows up to that size and gets its colors. =D

My b.boehmei leaves only the crickets head and a shell of the cricket. I was feeding mine last night and aftewards I watched it move the remains around, I was too lazy at the time to take the remains out. Woke up this morning and my T had move it to the side of the tank and pushed it some into...

This is really strange. This samething just happend to me. I got some crix on Monday. About 25% of them turn to soggy sloppy mess too. And I don't think the ones I got were anything larger then medium size (whatever that means). And yes is stanky as hell and having to clean them out of my...

My Brachypelma auratum just molted for the first time in my care today. I haven't taken the molt out yet. Is there anything special I need to do with the molt if I wanna keep it? I think it just hit the juvenile stages. I can see some adult coloration on it now. Once I think its safe to move its...

How did you keep those moults in such a good shape? Did you treat them with something?

Thats great news you found it after a month and that it moulted. How much did it grow?

No not the posters here :p . I was just wondering out of an eggsac is it pretty even as to how many males and females spiderlings. Or is one more rare then others? I don't see much on this subject at all. The reason I ask is that I wanna know the chance of gettin a female in the form of a...

How risky is having mealworm beetle in with your Ts? And "No" I didn't put them in for fun. I was feeding this mealworm to my T in a dish and its been super dry and hot here so I misted the tank. After an hour later I looked and the worm looked like it was dead (drowned) so I took it out...

Lake Perris. That sounds like lots of fun *cough* JETSKI *cough*. Nevermind those date, it will be too cold :} Tarantula HunTER!!! <---------- =D 18,000 children <----------:eek: Good Luck out there. :)

The substrate I am using is Jungle Mix. I had the same problem you had. Since its super hot here 90F about. I spray so much water into it that the soil part of it became compacted and its much better now. But that being said if your temp is not as high as mine I would suggest you move the T for...
