    10 Inches? That has to be a world record for a pokie?

    Versicolor upside down and unresponsive

    Yup. Grats on the premoult. My juvie a.versi is doing the same right now, I can barely see her unless I shine a powerful torch in there and she looks stone cold :D

    Theraphosa VS Lasiodora (Looking for people who have, or have had, both)

    The T.Blondi and L.Para temperaments vary a lot from individual to individual especially the L.Paras. I've seen some that could be handled from inside the tank calmly while others were really nasty and skittish with any sort of human contact. Don't let that affect your decision. Generally...

    Do any of you guys rush your spiders into breeding like this??? *WARNING: TARANTULA GETS KILLED*

    I think it's wrong to judge this guy because of the unsuccessful attempt, he did force the male a bit at first but there wasn't any real signs of aggression until it just happened and by then it was too late to do anything. It's nature unfortunately. Females eating male spiders is nothing new...

    1000 spiders in a suitcase

    This is true, there was a lot of misinformation initially and it wasn't even clear who was involved just by rumour. However what most people are pissed off about is the suitcase and it's apparent conditions. There seems some truth in this part. It's been verified by a credible source and is...

    Aphonopelma bicoloratum / Brachypelma Bohemi differences

    Is it me or do these species look exactly the same? What are the differences ?I'm a little curious because I bought a specimen 6 months ago that was apparently a Bohemi now I'm not so sure the pictures of each look so similar. Is the Bicoloratum rarer?

    What should I get for my 3rd T?

    If you want a T that doesn't kick hair then don't even consider Brachypelma Boehmei, they are one of themost skittish tarantulas around.

    I'm wondering how fat that T was 7 months ago!

    What Is An OBT?

    Mine isn't so bitey, I can't even get a threat pose out of it, she just runs away.

    what 3 tarantulas should i buy

    Are you after a step up? Brachypelma boehmei's are beautiful, a little faster and more skittish than your others. It really depends on what you are after in a T.

    What tarantula should I get?

    How experienced are you? If it's your first T I suggest getting an Avic Versicolor, they are beautiful and docile. P.Irminia is also another beautiful spider but they seem to bite quite often compared to most arboreals.

    Thinking about aquiring a T. Blondi

    They are not docile, they are kind of moody, as long as you know your individuals personality and be careful you can handle them no problem at all. My blondi would need some serious provoking to bite but she'll kick hairs automatically it seems.

    It's official, Blondi checking out...

    The slings are much harder to keep. If you aren't satisfied with your choice of tarantula from a bad experience then seriously reconsider. If for not your benefit then the spiders. I'm not saying don't get one, just seriosuly think about it, a species that looks better, is easier to look...

    Do tarantula's Move as much?

    A still T is usually a happy one, some of the males plod around a lot when looking for a mate though. If you want a display T that doesn't sit under a log or burrow one of the better species is the salmon pink.

    Thinking about aquiring a T. Blondi

    Remember to mist twice a day, keep the substrate damp but not too wet. Don't worry too much about temperature unless it's either very high or too low, my temp is at a constant 17-20 C and she's fine. They are not too difficult to look after, becareful of the hairs because they irritate like hell...
