My wonderful E. cyan just passed away of unknown causes. Had her from a tiny sling. Seven years or so. Dunno. Whenever I started coming to these boards for advice. Having no clue what I'd just gotten myself into is what got me here. I'm just so sad tonight. :(
We only picked him up once to get a better look at him. He comes and goes as he pleases. I'm grateful for all of the information! I haven't seen any others but I really do hope he sticks around and gets a girlfriend soon.

Wow. I hope this one finds a boyfriend or girlfriend then. He is really cute and he seems interested in sticking around our yard because of the creek that acts as a moat in front of the house. I don't want to pull him or her out of the wild, but I do want him to stick around. :)
I've had the "little guy" for four years now. No hooks, no boxing gloves, clearly done growing. Is it safe to assume it's female? And if so, what is the typical life span I am looking at for this type of T specifically?
Thanks!
A friend of mine has a red-eared slider that an ex girlfriend got for him from a pet store about eight months ago. The poor little guy isn't acting like himself and my friend isn't sure what to do.
He hasn't been eating all that much, was rubbing his eyes a lot, and has been sleeping with all...
The old boy still won't give it up. I can see it down in there but I don't want to go poking in there to get it. I guess I'll know either way eventually.
Sweetums, my first T, and the reason I got into the hobby molted over the weekend. I'd say he is probably about 4" now. I can see the molt when I shine a flashlight through the bottom of his container and I can see that he is doing fine. I really hope he gets around to throwing the molt out...
But to be totally realistic, "should" and "do" are two different things. I have had an A. metallica sling since Feb. of 2008 that is currently the size of my thumbnail. It has only molted twice in my care.
I would hope that the people who will be removing the lead paint from the apartment would be professionals. Perhaps I can talk to them when the time comes, as I am sure they can't do anything that would put other tenants at risk. And by extension not put my inverts at risk.
The downstairs neighbor in my building (it's an old multi-family house) has just moved out and I was told that the landlord is going to have that apartment deleaded. Mine was deleaded before I moved in. I know there is a lot of lead in the downstairs apartment because the woman who lived there...
:clap:
Nice work! She looks great. If the lump that is left stays as small as it looks in that picture she'll may very well drop it off all together at the next molt.
Let us all know when he is ready to eat. I know you will hand feed if you need to, but if he can hold food on his own then that is a very good sign that he'll heal up just fine.
Right up until you don't find a couple of crickets hiding in there and they go after your T while it is molting. Tanks that are size appropriate are not just a matter of preference, but a matter of creating proper environmental controls so that the animal can live the best life possible.
