They usually make hide themselves by digging a hole. for Grammostala genus, it is very normal that they dont eat that much, they are very slow growing species (takes at least 5 years to be mature)
sbt83: I guess you have a premolt sling, dont try to feed it anymore till it's molted. If in a...
T's can also being inactive for a certain period of time even if they are slings. It can also last for few months. As long as the abdomen is not smaller than the cephalothorax, there is almost nothing to worry about.
I mostly use coconut fiber mixed with grinded shell, it makes a good substrate. Soil is perfect too, but you have to make sure that it is sterile, no manure or other chemicals in it.
Nope. I have 4 pokies and they are all very docile. A little bit nervous but really unagressive. My MM P. Irminia is by far the most agressive I have, you just need to look at it and it makes a big threatpose. But if I touch him with a stick, he wont bite it, he prefer to lay back.
Normally, they will live, no problem. You dont need a water dish till its a big juvenile. You just need to mist water frequently and make sure that the substrate is always wet. T's normally suck the water off the substrate, they rarely drink from the dish.
I have a P. Irminia and it's never hiddenand most of the time on the bottom of the tank. They are considered very agressive, but mine is just as agressive as a chiwawa
GBB (chromatopelma cyaneopubscens) is defenitly THE choice. You wont find any terrestrial T's more colorfull than this specie and they dont have a potent venom.
Here'S some new pics of some of my newest T's. Enjoy!
Citharischius crawshayi juvenile female
Psalmopoeus irminia adult male
Poecilotheria metallica 1,5" unsexed sling
King baboons are really easy to take care.
Always hidden, never moves, never eats... it's kind of an african rosea. It's generally not agressive and the venom is not really dangerous.
Both of them are really BORING. Always hidden, you never see them. I have a 4" female king baboon and since I have her I'Ve seen her moving just once! However, it never seems agressive and I can see her always because si have dig a hole beside the glass, but you better have a picture, it costs...
