Thanks for replying I didn't know any of that. I'm not trying to breed personally but I was wondering if I could have gotten a red colorform P. Murinus after buying some OBTs recently.

I've been wondering this for a while now, are colorforms random? For example, if a typical colorform P. Murinus bred with another typical colorform, could they produce spiderlings that are red or dark colorform? Or is it the opposite where if a typical colorform P. Murinus bred with another...

I have a G. Pulchripes that I had gotten earlier this year in May. At this point, my Tarantula has molted 4-5 times, I lost count. He started as a 1/2 inch sling and is now around 2 inches, maybe 2 1/2 with his legs outstretched. After sexing the last two molts, I confirmed he was male because...

I could see the tarantula from outside of the container, that was the reason I first started to worry when I shook it lightly and the spider jostled along. There was, however, layer of paper towel at the top and bottom of the capsules.

The tarantula has been in that position for about 5 hours since I had it and no it is not reacting at all. The packaging was a large plastic capsule type container with small pin holes on the top, I'm assuming it probably died due to dehydration as the paper towels were fairly dry. The other...

I'll post a photo, yea I tried pouring water on it, didn't react at all. I finally posted a photo, would you mind taking a look and giving your opinion?

I ordered 3 adult A. Chalcodes that arrived at my home today. I noticed one was easily moved, even while inside the capsule. I pulled the T out and it wasn't moving. I could flip it over and it still hadn't moved. The tarantula doesn't seem to be in a death curl. Is it molting or is it actually...

Any breeders/hobbyists from the bay area or know of anyone in the bay area. I'm near Cupertino and I the only people I have seen from California on here are from SoCal.

Thanks for the info, I added a much thicker branch to lean onto the twigs and moved some twigs with the leaves up near the web so now the sling has way more area to web onto. I just kind of left the twig the sling was already on because it had already created a pretty thick web.

Update - I tried feeding it after waiting 2 more days, it again ran away when I tried giving the sling a small dubia and it again ran away. However, after leaving it on the webbing, I came back a couple hours later to the sling eating the dubia roach:happy:. I guess I did just have to give it...

It might be the angle, but I made sure to pick a drill bit that was smaller than the body of the sling, I've seen it stand on top of a hole and it definitely won't escape.

I was recommended C. Versicolor after I asked for a recommendation for a new tarantula as I already had a G. Pulchripes, LP, and a A. Avic. I thought that slings get back on their feet faster than adults do. I'll try to take a look at the fangs but it's only 1/2-3/4in big, thanks for the advice...

I recently bought a small 1/2inch-3/4inch C. Versicolor sling 4 days ago from a reptile show after recommendations from this forum. The sling had molted in its container by the time I had bought it and transferred it to a different container the same day. Whenever I try to feed the sling a dubia...

Yea I was looking into getting an avic or c versicolor

Thanks for the photo, I see what you mean about the ventilation and the spraying.

Oh Ok, thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the advice! How often would I have to wet the enclosure of a sling?

Ah, I see, ventilation is key. Also, where did you happen to buy 5 1/4 in C. Versicolor slings, everywhere I've looked online from JamiesTarantulas to PinchersAndPokies to FearNotTarantulas has them listed for $40 or more.

I have never seen a purple T before, Pamphobeteus look amazing. Similarly to the Sazimai, the skittish nature is a little off-putting but hopefully when I am a little more experienced I can have that beautiful Tarantula.
