imo could still use more ventilation

tbh I’m just going by what a friend thought it was. After looking at pics of MM lividus’ though I’m unsure. I’ll be there in about two hours so I’ll be able to get a better look at it.

more holes. Avics need a lot of airflow. Stuffy enclosures are really bad for Avicularia species.

completely agree with cold blood. T's are probably the cheapest pet i've ever kept. hell, my first enclosure was almost 100% made up of stuff i found laying around my house

oh jeez, I never realized how sexually dimorphic they are until I read your comment and gave it a google search. I wasn't planning on getting a new T anytime soon, but I have said in the past that I'd love to get another seemani in the future. Guess now might be the time so now I have a few...

so the seller is adamant that it's a female lividus and that it's from a breeder. no way

"butt fingers" gave me a good laugh, thanks i'm definitely using that in the future

DO NOT BUY ANIMALS HERE TDI is a local shop to me that sells online as well. I would not recommend them to anyone under any circumstances. Their reptile and especially their amphibian care is a joke. As for their T's, heres what I can tell you. Their adult T's, scorpions, and other inverts...

That's what i thought as well, but I'm not super with lividum's and any sexual dimorphism they may have so i figured i should ask lol

I forgot to mention that the person who has it thinks that they have a C. lividum, but it really doesn't look like it to me. person who sent me the sale link thinks its an A. seemani.

I might be taking in a pretty rough looking A. seemani soon. The pic I was sent (below) isn't great so I can't make out whether its a male or a female, though the abdomen is suuuper shrunken looking so I'm thinking it might be a male. Should I house it with deep substrate to burrow, or because...

i believe you can buy a pound of rounds from amazon for about 20 dollars if youre in the US

https://fearnottarantulas.com/product-category/freetarantulas/ they have T. albo, epicureanum, vagans, and verdezi (why i recommended the vagans and albo) and Brachypelma auratum, boehmei, and smithi. Though if OP is only getting the boehmi (fireleg) they would only qualify for a 50 dollar tier...

ah thanks a lot for pointing me that way, i appreciate it

could i be added?

yeah, that's my worry. I have friends here in the states who I'm sure would be down to take in a few of my little ones if I were to part with them. I'd be alright with paying a decent amount for shipping as I have quite a lot of females and just a lot of love for my spiders. I don't know of...

so all old worlds are going to have more potent venom than new worlds. some that can be excruciatingly painful, though none that i've heard of are deadly. I'd recommend getting a new world freebie over an old world, something like a Brachypelma, Tlitocatl, or a Grammastola. If you're looking for...

I'm always the cautious type, so I usually tell newbies to avoid old worlds just because they can be much faster and have more potent venom. Is there a particular reason why you're looking at H. villosella and not a faster-growing new world?

I may be immigrating to Canada from the United States in the next year and a half or so. At the moment I only have six T's and one scorp, and I don't plan on the number of inverts to go past a dozen until I get my own place. If I move to Canada (Edmonton area) should I ship my small collection...

I got my first three tarantulas all on the same day at a reptile show. first was a little 3/4" A. seemani (claimed blue form), then the guy pulled out a 1" T. vagans that I had to have. Then I got a sexed female 1.5" G. pulchripes as well because I had been looking for one all morning but I...
