    Any reason for tarantula to stand on tip toes when not eating? (pic)

    The only time I saw one of mine do this (other than while eating) was my G. pulchra after I overflowed her water dish too much. She stopped once she moved to a drier area.

    Aphonopelma moorae price

    Slings. I've never seen them cheap. $225 for a female is a descent price.

    What's a species that sometimes looks dull in photos but stunning in person?

    Now, Chilobrachys sp. electric blue is the opposite of what this thread is about - can only be appreciated under direct light (such as camera lighting), otherwise they're just another brown T. But under direct light, the electric blue part of their name is very accurate.

    My stirmi is pretty laid back - UNLESS she gets splashed while filling her water dish - then it's full threat display for at least a minute.

    Found bug. What is it?

    Well I'm no expert, so I'm not sure It's a book louse. Maybe the people before you had a lot of old books and it got left behind? They're not really a problem unless you have a lot of books as when they eat the glue they cause the pages to fall out.

    Found bug. What is it?

    Looks kind of like a book louse to me. did you find it on or near books or other glued paper? Book glue is their favorite food.

    You know you are addicted when

    Anyone else having a hard time finding these lately? Might be covid related but my local stores rarely have these anymore, and when they do it's only one or two.

    I meant it is natural for T's to eat vertebrate prey. I'm sure most, if not all, species eat vertebrates when the opportunity presents itself. I agree that feeding mice (other than pinkies and fuzzies) is dangerous for a T., but I never mentioned mice in my post, just vertebrates in general...

    Really should not be a debate as some snakes will only take live prey, but otherwise it should be avoid if for no other reason than live rodents are dangerous for snakes.

    Okay,here's another one - feeding your T live vertebrate prey is not immoral - unnecessary, yes, but not immoral. It happens all the time in nature. While I don't condone the people who seem to enjoy it and make Youtube videos about it, as long as you keep it to yourself and don't do it...

    This only works if you put them on a high shelf, so they think they're in a tree. /s

    T seladonia Molting/Trapdoor

    Not illegal to own in the US - but you're not allowed to import them. Palp Friction is still breeding and selling the ones they had before they had a import seized.

    Got one! People who complain that other people have too many T's, or have rare and/or expensive T's, are just jealous and would do the same thing if they had the money/space. You take that back! I love Phampos! ;) ........(I really do love Phampos).

    Selenocosmia Crassipes

    I kept mine moist sub when they were slings, somewhat less moist now that they are at 3 inches. Great feeding response, as slings they would take down B. lats their own size or even larger. Sorry for the double post.
