Bonnie, my female Telodeinopus aoutii, isn't looking so good today. She is not moving and is very limp. She occasionally moves her antenna and feet. I have had her since 24th December 2022 and has been doing great until today. I'm sad because i think Bonnie is going to die.

thank you for your reply Isaax. You have confirmed some of my ideas. i was thinking about going to West Africa in a boat. cheers andy

I am very interested in learning more about the habitat that Telinodeinopus aoutii live in. I know that they are from a region of dry tree savannah between Ghana and Togo in West Africa, that reaches the coast. I would like to find out in more detail what their living environment is like and...

brilliant stuff and thank you Ladyratri. I have put some venting holes on each side top and bottom.

I was going to put vent holes mid way. Is the reason to have holes at the substrate level to create and up draft of flowing air?

Hi all Just after a bit of advice. I have a caribena versicolor t that's about 2 1/2 years old and doing fine. I have ensured that there has been coss ventilation in all of the caribena versicolor's previous homes. I few days ago I rehomed the T into a tall arboreal enclosure. It has...

Lasiodora are a wonderful tarantula. They are so cute. My first tarantula was an Lp sling and he was amazing. Del toro had a really nice disposition and loved to climb.

Is my Telinodeinopus aoutii a female? I think it is as I don't see a gap for genitalia between 7-8 pairs of legs found in males. Thanks

I recently got a Catumiri parvum sling. Before and after I got it I've been looking for some info on husbandry. I've watched a very good video by Tom Moran. Does anyone here have any more info on this tarantula? Many thanks.

This is crazy. I have just bought a tarantula as a Hapolopus Formosus but how do I know if it is one? Is the Hapolopus Columbia a different species or a renaming of Hapalopus Formosus? I read all the above and I'm sti confused.

Once when I offed my Lasiodora parahybana a meal worm he turned his back on me and slowly walked to his hide and stayed there for the rest of the day. Clearly he didn't want that meal worm. Also i often keep exuvia and one time I left one on top of the viv. A gust of wind moved it and my...

When I was killing time at a entomology fair whilst waiting for my wife I wondered over to a table of the hosts of the show. I had £1.50 in change in my pocket. My wife comes out and says what have you got there?
