    Ephobopus murinus EMERGENCY please

    I have her in the ER right now. Day 2. She’s seems more perked up. Still hasn’t eaten yet. Gonna keep her in there for a couple more days and hopefully I can release her into her new enclosure. She’s gonna be rehoused in a 10 gallon tank with plenty of coco/verm substrate. I had the suspect male...

    Is This How a Tarantula Should Be Packed for Shipping?

    Ok I have a tall cereal container and some vermiculite and coco. I’m gonna do right for this poor guy. And might I add this question to you all. So the vendor shipped both Ts in 16oz deli containers with just moist dirt no padding WHATSOEVER! I complained immediately to the vendor and he said...

    Ephobopus murinus EMERGENCY please

    I will definitely add cork bark. I started burrows for them but I guess they just aren’t ready to burrow. I didn’t think it would take so long for them to get comfortable enough to burrow

    Ephobopus murinus EMERGENCY please

    Oh damn. I will make the soup today. I’m gonna pick up a new enclosure with side vents. I blocked majority of the kk vents prior to intro but obviously still not enough if the sub dries so fast. I hope I didn’t fuck up. I really tried and I feel really bad for the T. Thank you all for the info...

    Ephobopus murinus EMERGENCY please

    I have most the kk vents blocked. I could keep it more damp. The 10 gallon sub is fairly moist. Not soaked but fully moist. Temps stay around 70 in my room. Pics: suspect female, only suspected it today, I did think it was the male, is in kk. The male suspect is in the larger tank with large...

    Ephobopus murinus EMERGENCY please

    The first pic is the same spider as the the pic in the water dish. And I agree scary. The abdomen is so tiny and misshaped. I’ve had plenty molts of other species and none looked like this. It’s almost like a curvy pear. I just fed the male in the trees and he ate right there with no issue but I...

    Ephobopus murinus EMERGENCY please

    So I’m not gonna name the vendor just yet but I purchased a breeding pair of ephobopus murinus. Now they couldn’t guarantee sex even though that is part of the problem. Anyways I have 2 skeletons about 4 inches. Neither show tibial hooks or boxing gloves but I sexed underneath and they seem to...

    Thrixopelma Ockerti Care sheets, pre-molt signs, good eaters?.. etc?

    I love this species. Ferocious eater. Semi arboreal. I dont think mine likes walking on dirt though so today i will be adding some rocks on the ground so it can be terrestrial as well. It moves around alot but only on the glass but when i had bark on the ground it would spend most its time...

    Craigslist tarantulas and the people selling them

    4 of much 6 T's are from cl. All were from good people in St. Louis. One lady had to give hers away cuz it turned out she was allergic to the hairs and ended up in the hospital for 3 days. I actually gave her more than she was asking cuz she had to get rid of them and didn't want to

    any good spots in missouri for reptiles

    You can go 2 hours north to Mark Twain lake and go searching the trails around there for skinks snakes turtles newts. Lift rocks and your liable to find something quite often. I live around quiver river and I use the same tactics as I did when I lived near mark twain lake and I found hundreds of...

    I was curious of the fangs. They are massive. Only did it once. Didn't hurt her one bit. Didn't even seem to agitated

    T Ockert acting different

    Had the T Ockerti for 2 months now and for the first month and a half it had barely webbed at the base of some arboreal bark, was always in a different terrestrial/arboreal place and was rarely hidden. In the last week or 2 it had mostly webbed and holed up on that same arboreal bark and has not...

    G pulchripes with a 'tude

    Not poking in the fangs. When she rears up I gently touched her fangs with the side of the straw. She didn't seem agitated enough to strike and i absolutely did not hurt her. And it's not a literal poking straw. Better term for the politically correct would be guiding utensil

    G pulchripes with a 'tude

    So would I. She hates the giant tongs as well even if they are bringing gifts. She definitely doesn't "love me" like I love her. But I'm happy she respects me enough to not kick hairs when I try and maneuver her
