    My C. versicolor died :(

    Thanks, guys. I guess I can only hope it wasn't my fault somehow and it was just a freak occurrence. Nonetheless, this was a really upsetting experience. :( And today, I had another death in my collection but I anticipated it since my first T. albopilosus matured 2 1/4 years ago and he was...

    My C. versicolor died :(

    Hi guys, long time no see... sorry. I just made an awful discovery. Mrs Blue Berry, my C. versicolor, died. I found her half-hanging from her web, no death curl, I probably wouldn't have realised it if it wasn't for the slightly unusual pose. :sad: When I took her out I saw that she had most...

    Who molted today?

    My B. emilia moulted yesterday, just shy of 2" now. I got her as a 2nd instar sling 2 years ago. :)

    Comment by 'Thekla' in media 'T. albo'

    Well, at first sight, I'd say Nicaraguan. She looks exactly like mine, and she's definitely Nicaraguan. :)

    Pink toe not eating or webbing

    My A. merianae matured almost two years ago, and he's still alive 'n kicking (*knock on wood*). So, you still might have him for quite some time. :)

    T. Albopilosum growth rate

    My female T. albo (Nicaragua) grew from a 2nd instar sling to a 3-3,5" juvenile in almost exactly one year. ;) https://arachnoboards.com/threads/then-now.315111/post-2954161 After that, she basically stopped growing... :rofl: Since then, it's about one moult/year.

    Curly hair not eating

    I usually wait a week before trying again. But it depends on the T in question and whether it has just moulted or might be in premoult, or whether it's an adult or a sling.

    Today in the frog room

    Yesterday I got some new additions ... the frogs I wanted to have from the very beginning. The viv had grown in nicely... and when I was offered a pair of D. tinctorius azureus that is not related to each other I knew I had to take the plunge. :D This is Tristan and his wife Isolde. ♥ ;)...

    What do you think about my C. Versicolor setup?

    No misting!!! You could drop some water on its webbing or on the glass every now and then but my C. versicolor has no problems finding her water dish (to discard her boluses :rolleyes: ). And if you haven't done already I would recommend replacing the mesh with an acrylic sheet with loads of...

    Is my T dying?

    My first thought would be dehydration. Does she have access to water? Could you post a picture of the whole enclosure?

    HELP PLEASE mexican red knee is not eating

    This! And also make sure his environment is safe, meaning, the less space between the substrate and the top of the enclosure the better. I give my mature males 1x DLS (diagonal leg span) of vertical space or less. Edit: Sorry. I must've overlooked the second set of pictures... that breeder box...

    I'm sorry, I could've sworn... :rolleyes: But I heard male GBBs are somewhat rare and very sought after. :)

    Need help, first t wont use hide.

    Just cup her and take her out when you're doing the adjustments. It'd be more stressful for her if you're doing it while she's in there. And don't worry about stressing her out... a proper and safe enclosure is way more important. :)

    Need help, first t wont use hide.

    Definitely. ;) Just get more substrate asap, a fall could've indeed serious consequences.
