Around two and a half weeks.

Looks great!

Yep I usually give it a pre-killed medium to medium-large mealworm. My sling is around 3/4" and doesn't have any problems with it. Like @Ungoliant said you can try cutting it up if your sling won't take the larger worms.

My hamorii sling never refuses a skull crushed mealworm. Two or three of the wiggly suckers and you'll have yourself a little fuzzy balloon with legs.

About a year ago I tried breeding and if I remember correctly it took the eggs a week or so to hatch. If you keep the substrate the eggs are in moist and temp up you should have baby crickets soon. I can't say I noticed the eggs change colour. They very well could tho.

My versicolor molted yesterday :banghead: At least I know more about this species than I did before. Thanks again everyone for the info. It's been very helpful.

Lol I wish this species wasn't so finicky. Once it grows up it will surely make up for the stress it has put me thru. 10!? Lucky you. I'm keeping an eye out for a good sale so I can pick up a few more. I tried giving it a small mealworm too but it won't take it. A few of my T's won't take...

A photo of the spider would be useful, now wouldn't it? :confused:

For any other tarantula I wouldn't worry as I'd assume it was just in pre-molt but I know this species can be fragile so I want to make sure it's not in the early stages of dying. The 3/4" sling molted around a month and a half ago and started to refuse meals after about two weeks. The sling...

Lmao I've always hated that

@Blue Jaye lol sure

Suzy, is that you?

To me that looks like a complete female, well maybe 67.5% female. To tell you the truth it might be a male. Nah, definitely a maybe for the female option. Could it be both? Yeah, it looks like a hermaphrodite to me. Post some more pictures of this sling so we can review it for research.

I like big... uh, never mind, that's kind of weird

Super glue works like a charm.

Mine settled on the water bowl :rage:

I did read that in the Tarantula Keeper's Guide. I guess the idea is to use natural selection to create a stronger gene pool while also managing your yield.
