My girlfriend and I watched it and I was thoroughly unimpressed. For being a arachnologist he seemed to know little about them, or atleast didnt express much knowledge. Moreso an infatuation and eagerness to let them run on his face. I think the Vagans was the only one ID'd by name. Too...

I wouldn't freeze him either. He looks fairly healthy still in the pics and can carry on fine missing a leg or two. I think chesh hit the mark on the problem. Freezing should be reserved for very certain and imminent death situations.

Tally up two for Gray and pale.

Big and beautiful!

Blondis are slightly bulkier and Apophysis have pinkish metatarsus when younger. My crack at this was because of the girth and my guess at the age relative to the coloring of its legs.

I would say T. Blondi 100%.

Curvedhorn baboon (Ceratogyrus bechuanicus) Huahini Birdspider (Chilobrachys huahini) Orange Treespider (Tapinauchenius gigas) Would be my choice. But I would swap the C. bech for the H. Maculata.

I did not specify, but the years are complete life span. As in from birth. Unless you raised the tarantula yourself or acquired it from someone else who did and kept track there is no way knowing how old an already mature tarantula is. If it is a Male that is mature you know you have very...

That's exactly right. You don't need heaters at all. As long as you keep your house or tarantula room at room temp you will be golden. I was actually talking to someone about this last night that had all his T's rigged up with heat pads. Its a drain on electricity, raises your room temp and...

Males you are looking at three to four years, and eight to nine for females. This unfortunately is the case often with arboreals, much shorter life spans than our long-lived pet rocks.

Again generalities are what you will get when you ask for how a species is. Genrality-wise most Taps are skittish and quick. Staying near their webs and bolting for a hide if disturbed. "Aggresion" wise The ones I've seen were more of a flight over bite type of Tarantula much like a pokie or...

Shipping the male back is fine, if the breeding was successful. Because you can ship it back with the 50/50 cut at no additional shipping costs. That is the ideal of a 50/50 you both put in the same and both get back. Having the male produce no effects and not getting a sack is a different...

Exactly, the owner of the female, the one responsible for the mating process and the sack is doing the work. Not to mention owns the spider capable of producing offspring. To have to pay to ship someone else's male to another person for breeding is bunk, you won't be getting a cut of the sack...

Yeah the owner of said Tarantula definately needs to pay all costs concearning his or her spider.

Well I can assure you that your T is not getting "angry" the quicker scratching is just it coninuously trying something it has always done. They dont have suckers but they have two small hook like barbs that grab onto imperfections on the glass. The reason it once climbed the glass but no...

Despite which species are generally one way or another be prepared for the opposite and everything in between. I have found a lot of my T's to be opposite of the experience of others on here, or somewhere in the middle. Psalmos are generally more skittish than bitey. They are much like pokies...

It still happens due to grooming. When they rub substrate out of the hairs and during normal grooming they will loosen the hairs. When you have a 'kicker' there will be less fluff and bald spots instead.

I would think a Smithi too common for her interest, as would a blondi, rosea ect.

Oh yes, E. Murinus. Never a dissapointment. Fast, beautiful, the fore legs of an arboreal, the rump of a baboon and rear jumpers. Lots of spectacular webbing and great eaters. -Inexpensive- As far as the other four go, I would by far choose P. pulcher.

I went and looked for you. I would say its a Lasiodora difficilis. As I said for how large that one is, it looks too light to be a para.
