Sounds normal to me.

Really? This one was calm as could be! I didn't touch him, but I did scare him off the path since there were a lot of people/dogs at the park and I'd hate for him to be a chew toy or to be killed for absolutely no reason. When I did scare him, he slowly slithered into the brush. Definitely a lot...

After looking at photos, I do agree that it definitely looks like a Northern Water Snake. Thank you!

Hey guys, out of general curiosity, I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this snake. Such a beautiful little guy, I found him while walking at a park in central/eastern Indiana. He was near a lake, thought I'd include that since I know some snakes like to hang around bodies of water.

Definitely appears to be in pre-molt.

Well that's definitely a Pamphobeteus spp., definitely not a Psalmopoeus irminia. They look completely different.

She's seventeen...o_O

Yeah, that is a bit excessive imo. I reuse already made enclosures all the time. However, I don't like reusing enclosures that have been heavily webbed over.

She's doing yoga :D

I'm not completely clueless, but I still have so much to learn... Maybe a 2?

Eight hours? Dang, how big was your tattoo? :wideyed:

I'll actually be livin' it up at the 'Hotel California' if you catch my drift. :smuggrin:

Huh. What's tripping me out is how its hairs are. It looks like what happens when you take a molt, put it in warm soapy water, and then leave it out to dry. Maybe I'm just not seeing the hairs stick out like they normally would, but if definitely doesn't look right to me. Can you get better...

Wait until they're jet black. If they're still red, they are still soft. I'd give her another week.

Definitely agree with this, he looks mighty leggy, his pedipalps look really bulbous, and the behavior you're describing definitely sounds like mature male behavior to me.

I owned a G. porteri and A. seemanni before I got mine. I think it's a really manageable beginner species though.

I can't comment on E. campestratus as I've never owned one, but I do have experience with C. cyaneopubescens. Mine is fairly bolty and kicks hairs if I touch his enclosure. He sure is beautiful though. I'd say groth rates are pretty decent. I got mine when he was .5", after a year and three...

I read that thread fairly recently. I wish we could get an update on how that t is doing!

Please do, I'm quite interested! I've been trying to find a macro photo of the eye part of a tarantula molt, but so far I haven't found anything.

I thought tarantulas shed off eye caps, much like snakes do? Just something I thought I've seen on molts, can't be 100% though. I'm not sure if eye caps would be the right term either, so somebody please correct me if I'm wrong
