I. Hirstum?

I assume he is still making sperm webs. His cork bark tube is webbed up pretty nice on the inside. He still prowls his enclosure. I never see him make a sperm web so I wouldn’t know for sure. Would the females eating habits change closer to her making the sac? Would she start to refuse food? She...

I’ve tried “candleing” her but I didn’t see anything to make me think she was gravid. Her abdomen looks round but it’s not abnormally large I don’t think. When I shined a light on her I could see it come through her carapace but not through the abdomen.

My male matured roughly 153 days ago. I received my female and they were introduced 95 days ago. It looked to be successful. He was able to get it in for a couple minutes. She still hasn’t laid a sac so I assume that she isn’t going to. I still have my male and I was considering just...

A few questions from me. Do you still have her last molt? Have you ever witnessed her eating since the last time she molted? Have you found boluses in her enclosure or has she just taken a bite and left the carcass without digesting? Honestly her abdomen doesn’t look so bad. If she was...

Thanks for all the insight everyone. Sadly, the sling didn’t make it. Even though I’ve been in the hobby a couple years I learn new things all the time. Hopefully this experience just makes me a better keeper.

Okay. I haven’t checked on it yet today. I did see it walk around a bit yesterday. I don’t think it’s dehydrated because I dripped water on it’s mouthparts and it didn’t drink it. I’ll check on it when I get home and make sure it’s not too damp. I can set up an enclosure for it today too. Since...

I bought it from a reputable breeder but it’s a tiny baby, so no visible marking yet. I have it in a temporary container because I was worried that what it was in had poor airflow. I took some tweezers and brought all the moss in the vial (with the sling on it) into this larger container that...

Well all I can say is that SUCKS. Hopefully it recovers and I’ll rehouse it into a more appropriate enclosure that suits its needs.

I recently got a sling and it’s been doing really well I think. It just molted a few days ago and then all of a sudden it’s doing a little death curl. I just had a P. Pulcher sling die for no apparent reason so I’ll be really upset if this one dies. It’s eaten since I got it I thought it was...

Sorry I got busy and kept forgetting to respond to this. She is still doing it, I feel like she has settled back into her hide more now. I don’t think I know how to upload a video so that may take me a second.

I couldn’t find a thread discussing this. You know when a dog hurts it’s paw and holds it up and refuses to walk on it? My A. Avic (Metallica) is doing this. I noticed it a while ago and thought it was kinda funny when she would just sit on her web and put it up in the air but now I’ve realized...

Hopefully not! She did eat a superworm without much problem. I don’t know what her deal is though.

She is just a big weirdo I guess. I think these superworms are going to be good for her. I was thinking about raising my own dubia. My friend does and he's given me massive ones to feed her, twice as big as the pet store "large".

She doesn’t like them I don’t think, the cricket disappeared because it escaped and I eventually found it in my kitchen.. she did eat a superworm I bought her but I observed her do the thing where she attacks and then releases it I had her mate first and he was always a very good eater, never...

I think I found a new bolus so maybe she did eat the cricket? Still going to try the superworms. I should be trying to give her a good amount of food so she can make an egg sac right?

Okay, I’ll try it. I’ve done a lot of different feeders. I even tried wax worms and pinky mice. Would superworms be an acceptable sub?

I have a A. Avic (Metallica) that is a really weird eater. I feel like I’ve never had an easy time feeding her ever since I got her in July. She will jump on the prey almost frantically and then she’ll just release. Put her front legs out straight and drop it out of her mouth. She does eat but I...

She’s massive. My P. Dictator is still pretty small. It will be so cool when it puts on size like this
