Thanks again! I'm still reading up and looking at enclosures lol but I'm getting mixed substrate conditions. Some keep it dry and some keep the sub damp with both having success. I'm still in the dark as to what the damp or moist sub is for exactly. Is it for humidity? Cause if it's humidity we...

Thanks for all the info, guys! I appreciate it, really. After some snooping and reading everywhere I found this thread that has an interesting setup for them. I'm planning to copy this setup for the versicolors. The ones using sundae cups in particular...

Noted! Thanks a lot. :) They're gonna be my first avics so I don't want to make any mistakes. I stayed away from the genus cause of them being labeled as 'fragile' but I caved in.:p Many gorgeous species in the genus. :woot:

I'm planning to get a few of A. versicolor slings and probably an A. minatrix. The slings are just way too cute and they're stunning as adults. :woot: I just wanna know from you guys if the avic slings have semi-arboreal tendencies like psalmos. :bookworm: I don't wanna get caught unprepared...

My first OW was the H.lividum(now C.lividum, I guess?) Wasn't the smartest idea getting one when all I kept that time were brachys. It came to a point I was really afraid of nudging her. With a stick. A really long one. She was stubborn and wouldn't budge an inch whenever a rehouse was due...

An old video of my H.lividum disagreeing to the rehouse. lol She was my first OW and not so smart jump from the NW species. I have a better video quality of 'The Queen' 0.1 Pelinobius muticus but I still have to find it. The Queen was a lot sweeter and more open to my suggestions. lol

WOW. She looks great! Love those orange chevrons and stripes. :woot::woot: I can't wait for my little ones to get that pretty! Great acquisition! Mother nature really did a good one on this T. :artist::artist:

Sorry for your loss, brother. I'm experiencing almost the same thing with my P.metallica sling. It lost one appendage then probably sort of forced a molt? It ended up losing another appendage on the opposite side and never regrew the other but it's having no problems eating and drinking now. I...

Thank you for the advice! I never knew I had anti-ant defenses in my cupboard. :woot:

I just lost 12 slings to ants both black and red. I left for home during the weekend and left them here at the dorm. I just came back and what's left are husks where there used to be happy t slings. The ants almost wiped my Augs. I'm only left with 3 A. junodi's. 2 C. marshalli's gone and all of...

She looks stunning already! I got mine at roughly the same size if not smaller. They're awesome to keep and will eat anything and everything. :hungry::vamp: They're always a great choice. :woot:

Sorry for your loss! I had a feeling he wouldn't make it after seeing that drop of hemolymph there. I used have a big male too but I never knew of his fate after loaning him out. :( Best of luck on the egg sac! She better lay one and have lots of babies!

I find it funny when they decide to settle on that part of the cup. "If I fits, I sits"

I'm gonna chip in with the T's I've owned and currently own. Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens - They grow like weed. Rather skittish. GREAT EATERS. They're always willing to eat and will never shy away from a prey item as big as them. Also, don't bother putting decor in their enclos. They'll just...

Thanks for the heads up! It's funny cause I had my catch cup within reach. :sorry: I'll be ready next time and more aware of the situation. :borg:

This is just happened right now. I was doing my regular feeding and eventually I got to my 2nd A. junodi sling. I dropped in a roach. As expected it grabbed the roach but right after taking the prey item, it bolted out of the enclo with the roach in its mouth. Without thinking I corralled it...

I knew I'd find you here. :D Now I'm really regretting my decision about not keeping my own Goddess. :banghead::bag::arghh::grumpy:

From what I currently own and have owned. Fastest: Poecilotheria metallica(yes, mine tend to dash and jump a lot despite being considered the most chill Pokie lol) Meanest: The Goddess P.muticus(I was supposed to type in OBT but mine are still 1 inchers and yet to really OBT) Docile...

I've fed mine hours after rehousing. Especially those that have been in transit. If they don't eat, I attempt feeding again in a few hours. If they're really teeny tiny, same thing. I just spray water droplets on the sides before I put them in their new homes. I've found that if you just leave...

Any else? I was looking at other ventral pics though and the one in the link looks similar to this. The one in the link is female. http://arachnoboards.com/gallery/grammostola-pulchripes-unsexed.31688/
