Beautiful!

Hi all. Well, I've had my G. "Northern Type" for a couple months now. I'm new to Ts. I've read on here that Grammostola Ts sometimes will go into long starvation modes and I think that's what Nope is doing now. She ate very well the first few weeks I had her and then stopped. I'd say it's been...

Congrats, it's a nice-looking T! I just got my first T a few weeks ago. It's been quite the adventure :happy:

Well, a few things inspired me. My arachnophobia for one. For as long as I can remember I've been scared of spiders. It was to the point where I couldn't sleep if I knew there was one in the bedroom, or take a shower until the bathroom was clear of them. My first husband and I had a 27-foot...

That's one of the cutest things I've ever seen!

@SysAdmin G. sp. "Northern Type". She's a juvenile so I'm waiting on a molt to see if any particular carapace color pops out, I guess.

She took a big long drink and has been cleaning her face for the last hour!

So pretty! Before I joined this forum, I never knew Ts came in such beautiful colors. Amazing.

Sorry to hear. I know it's tough. I've had a couple little critters perish on me in the past for no reason that I could really figure out. It's always tough.

"Do you keep it in the same tank as your lizard?"

Glad I found this. I will try some rocks for my G. North Type and see how she likes them.

So I've had Nope, my G. sp "Northern Type" for almost a week now. The day I got her, she was actively eating crickets at the pet store. She ate a couple more after I got her home that day, and drank a bunch of water. I think she ate two more cricket the 2nd day I had her. She hasn't ate...

Thanks for all the replies. It was just shocking to see her in such an extreme pose. It's been interesting watching her....well, watching her basically do nothing! :D:hilarious: She's even more zen-like than my African fat-tail gecko.

I got a G. sp. "Northern Type" (according to people on here after I posted pics, so I'm going with that!). It is also likely a "she". She's a very nice T, sits out on display for me all the time on top of her log. Probably a good thing, though, that she is my only one since she is my first and...

I put "not tolerant at all", but my husband sits somewhere kind of in between that and "somewhat disapproves" right now. I stated in a previous thread that I am probably going to be limited to one T for some time due to his vehemence toward me getting it. :rolleyes: We share many...

Nope, it's bone dry. I think what they were using at the store was Repti Bark or something. She's probably just adjusting to her new tank in general.

I'm new to Ts and am currently using the Eco Earth cocofibers (the bagged variety) for my G. "Northern Type". Sometimes I wonder if she likes it though. She hardly ever gets down on it and prefers to stay on top of her wood cave. The pet store I bought her at had her on some sort of bark chips...

Okay, so this isn't exactly "out in the field" I don't think, but many different kinds of spiders and bugs call my house home. I live in metro Detroit, Michigan. This is probably the craziest one I've ever seen. If anyone has any idea what this is, let me know! I've never seen a spider like...

Yeah, that's my thought too. It's just so weird because there's nothing around that I can see. I'm just afraid she's going to try to jump or something and hurt herself. She's in kind of a tall enclosure. Waiting for a shorter version to arrive from Amazon.

Here's Nope today doing some kind of tiptoe pose.
