Suspected G. iheringi molted. Confirmed female!

I found out why my (suspected) G. iheringi hasn't had an appetite when I checked in on her and saw a beautiful perfect molt laying behind her. It must have been today or yesterday. My first big t molt!

It's already spreading towards Canada in some forms and the UK too.

A. hentzi are neat. I have a juvenile. It was crawling around its enclosure a lot. I used the vial it came in for a hide and was chasing a cricket when I pulled out a dirty wet paper towel from inside the vial. It then went back into its hide and I haven't seen it since. I guess that was the...

Cyriopagopus hainanus? Whoa, I just googled them. You jumped right into the deep end! I don't dare touch OW and I got into the hobby back in November!

I started with a C. cyanepubescens. People had said they were bolty so not that good for beginners but I wasn't planning on handling so that meant nothing to me. Out of all the ones I have, my A. seemanni gave me the most trouble. Now I have: A. seemanni C. cyanepubescens G. pulchripes...

I want an M. Balfouri as my first OW someday, but I'm still terrified. Knowing my bad luck, I'll end up making a careless mistake and getting bit and I'm still too new to Ts to even think of it. Perhaps someday in the future, but not anytime soon for me.

Mine has done the same. I dropped the cricket in his web and he practically teleported and grabbed it.

Mine must have not gotten the memo but maybe she'll change in the next molt or something.

Ha ha, thank my phone for that one! Auto-correct is silly!

Sorry :( but I'm still not sure if she's a G. iheringi or G. actaeon as she was sold to me as a B. vegans.

No, I haven't. She's a sub-adult I believe. She was a "pet shop" buy. Let me post a picture.

I haven't owned my T's long but my GBB is definitely NOT a gentle eater. He pounces and attacks with pretty good ferocity. My suspected G. inheringi/actaeon is shy and doesn't like me to see her eat. I have an A. semanni, Braveheart, acts like an OW. She's bolty. She's sensitive. She's...

Pretty much is what some people are saying. "You have a responsibility." That means you can't make ANY mistakes. I shared my story with horses. I was constantly questioned and no explanation I gave to what was going on was enough. This seems to become a common thing when people become popular...

No new additions today. Probably won't get anymore until after I build up my funds again after the holidays. I'm thinking an G.pulchra, A. metallica, and C. elegans. I hope to someday have an M. balfouri but I'm nowhere near ready for OW T's yet. I don't think I'll consider them for a few years.

Text is toneless and even when people post genuine advice it can easily be seen as scathing. Especially when you're already upset at the people who are telling you to do everything 100% right.

"I understand completely why everyone is concerned." Yes, I totally agree. I do. I'm just giving a possibly explanation as to why it's often dismissed.

Sign me up for it too! Just no Old Worlds, but I guess I wouldn't complain even if I got them. I just am still terrified of spiders too much to deal with OW, especially the OBT.

I can kinda understand why he's so sensitive. I understand completely people are concerned about his keeping but then there's people who will criticize everything he does. I bought two horses that were popular on social media. People marched in and told me what I needed to do and how I needed to...

Perhaps when she calms down a bit I'll get some pictures. Right now I wish to leave her alone lest she make another break for freedom.
