This works but myself and I am sure many others would not recommend it. Ventilation is always important, for Avics it is very important. Less ventilation means stagnant air, stagnant air gives things like molds, parasites, and bacteria a very good place to incubate and grow. I have a fan in my T...

This might be a stupid question, but if you are at your place in the city the whole week and only home on the weekends why not just take them to your place in the city and leave them there? They will be fine for two days by themselves.

G. rosea and Brachys are know to be on the stocky side anyways. All of mine unless they are males tend to be a bit bulky. It is just the way these genus grow from my experience and from most of the pictures that i have seen.

This is what i would do if the T was small. From what i know most Ts can swim. Some can swim quite well in fact. Point is, is that it won't drown and you will give it a dunk in nematode killer. You have nothing to loose, try it out and let us know.

here are a few things you might try before putting the poor little thing down. I found the ideas on a plant forum so they might not work. 1.) Use sugar or sugar water. it is supposed to make them explode. i don't know what adverse effects that would have on the T, but that is one idea. 2.)...

Beautiful T! I have had so many of these "hard moves" and they go all to easy much like this one. I think I like the hard ones. I get so worked up for them and every single one except for my P. metallica go easy. I had to make a diving catch for him before he ran under a desk never to be...

Many species of tarantula change coloration drastically over their life span. Seeing as though it is only 1 to 2 inches I would say it has not picked up its adult colors yet. One of my A. avics is 3 maybe 3 1/2 inches and he is still wearing some of his baby clothes. Also A. avics are known for...

I agree! That is exactly my point! Gosh!!

Spit man. I think you are really missing the point here. No one cares about your Macrothele gigas. They are refering to the fact that you used what could be considered a nick name in your thread about your "H. mac".

I was waiting for someone to maybe give me some more ideas as to what to do. i did what I could and decided to give him the night to try and work things out. I ended it this morning when I woke up because he didn't make much progress. Sorry if I offended you. He was my first and I have had him...

Yeah. thanks :)

He has got one leg free. That leg was free when I found him yesterday. I never thought about the fact that he might have dried. dang that is messed up. Well he isn't moving anymore so I think he is done. To little to late I guess. :( Good try though. Right when he started trying to molt I kinda...

I'm sure if you do this stuff long enough then you will. From what I have been told MM rarely survive a post UM molt. Even if by some miracle they do survive it they come out in pretty bad shape. Then there is the small percent that get out in one piece. So I'm not really holding out hope and it...

Well, he has been molting for almost a week now so it is not a normal molt to make things even more interesting he already had his ultimate molt. I think it is a lost cause and am I am thinking that the freezer might be the best place for him now. :(

So I posted a thread about two weeks ago about a Mature male rosie trying to molt again and it died. Well this is messed up. My first tarantula that I ever had has been a mature male rosie for about two years now and the same week the other one died he too tried to molt after his UM. He died...

Did you try using the search function? I know this exact thing has come up at least 50 times before.

Like I said in my original post. I'm not buying it. The OP is to vague and seems almost uninterested in our questions and suggestions.

You are really not giving us much to work with here. Some pics of the room, some more info, anything. So you water once a week. What is different this week as apposed to other weeks. the control was the way thing were and the variables would be the things that have changed to cause this terrible...

I am having a hard time believing any of this. If it is true, I am very sorry to hear about your losses. Where do you live? Do you use tap water. Chloramine levels in the water here in Cleveland tend to fluctuate a bit, so I use bottled water 99.9% of the time. So, my point, if you are using...

TalonAWD are you growing chives in there with your GBB? Sweet pic by the way.
