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
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...
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...
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...
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?
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
