He’s lying around like this now. Just chilling as far as I can tell. Wiggles around every so once in a while. Definitely different from when I’ve seen him molt before... maybe I can keep my fingers crossed and hope he’s just trying out a new method?
That's actually pretty reasonable. I don't want to be sending an old outta work geezer off to mate. I've only ever kept female T's (at least now I think I've only had female T's...) so I'm not too sure of the mating habits from the male perspective. I've never thought about mating any of them to...
Okay awesome. So sperm webs.
Last time I saw them was about Christmas time so I imagine he’s still okay to go... I’ll see if any locals around here (Vancouver, BC) may want to take a crack at breeding with him.
I’m mostly just going to keep a close eye on the guy until I’m comfortable with his...
And this is one of the main reasons why I am still a bit confused. Absolutely nothing has changed to illicit such behavioural changes. He’s been in the same location, save for the first month I had him in my bedroom where it was too cold. I had a little heat mat that I used when it got too cold...
I actually have only seen the guy climb about once or twice. He tended to stick around the bottom and crawls around his little skull. The only other enclosure I have is about three quarters of the height. I’m not sure it would do much of a difference now in moving him. Especially since he’s...
Yep it’s been a little over a year since his last molt. Around November of 2016. I’ll make sure to keep an extra eye on the humidity. I have a little meter I can throw in there. Thank you again! <3
WELL THEN. This clears a hell of a lot up for me. Seriously. I thank you. I did think earlier on that she might not be a white knee, but wasn’t able to tell too much the difference between them as she’s been in and out of hiding so frequently I haven’t been able to get a good look at her. I...
Everyone I’ve met so far has told me to dust them as well. I’ll definitely look into that a lot more. Thank you!
Potentially. I’ve never really considered it because she definitely was exhibiting more behaviour that I would have thought was feminine. Though, to be honest, her behaviour has...
Hello all!
I’ll get to the I’m new here post eventually but I’m the meantime I have a bit of a question (or maybe I’m looking for some suggestions) about my T, Mallory. As for age and type: she’s roughly 4 year she old and apparently a Brazilian White Knee. Not my first tarantula, but...
