    Freshly hatched cricket infestation.

    It is really humid right now, so I wonder how long it will take to dry out. I did see them in the water dish. I don’t want to take that from my T’s so they will still have water??

    Freshly hatched cricket infestation.

    A. Seemanni, and H.mac are large females. P. Cambridgei is 3.5 dls. Should I try and remove the eggs from the H.mac enclosure? If I see more eggs should I address this or hope a good drying out will work?

    Wow! I turn my laptop to show my girlfriend, and she says... Wow did you take that? I laughed and said I wish. although this pic looks very much like my sling that just molted. My girl would never let me that close to her!! she is a bit on the skittish side. Amazing picture!!

    Brachypelma emilia sling care

    I actually have 8 other T’s all different species, and sizes. I figured it would typically be about the same type of care for this sling as some of the rest. I was just tossing a little question out to see what came back.

    The enclosure has been changed appropriately to accommodate this particular species. The photo is a old one, taken with what came with the T. She is now happily in her burrow in a adequate enclosure

    Does not look like my A. Seemanni. What color is the best underside of the abdomen? If it is a pinkish orange it is likely A.seemanni.
