Legs tucked in could be nothing or it could be something....you never know, sometimes they just rest like that. Generally all legs tucked in under is a bad omen though. Nice size set up just make sure you have a lot of ventilation holes so it doesn't get too moist and stagnant in there.

Relax You said in your first post it has been 10 minutes.....relax, chill a bit, grab a valium. They don't seem to do things on the same time frame as we expect. It's only been sitting in one spot for 10 minutes......that's nothing for a T. If it's recently molted the worst thing you can...

Nice looking T! Looks more like an a. avic rather than an a. versi to me though.

Well they most certainly aren't 16 years of age but then again I am not about to try and hang any medals around their neck's either....if they even had something resembling a neck.

Started at 6:00 this morning with a b. albo molting followed by the h. maculata at 3:00 this afternoon and lastly a tiny a. versicolor is molting as I type this. About as close to synchronized molting as I have gotten so far. My b. smithi is due soon also but I suspect that won't be for...

Being as you said you're new to the hobby, what you have is a mature male. This means that he is not likely to molt again in your care and should you chose (assuming he built a sperm web) he would be ready to mate. It means his remaining days are numbered unfortunately. Great looking male though!

Not to call you a liar or anything but that picture makes her look just over 5 inches. Rear leg is on the 6 inch mark and front leg is on the 1 inch mark from what it looks like to me. Could be a deceiving angle though. Either way she's a beauty!

And yet another thread brought back from the dead......2006!

Did that c. marshalli recently molt? He looks way darker than my girl does who's in need of a molt atm.

Two new T's purchased from Musihuto. Thanks Munis! c. cyaneopubescens p. irmina

I'd just let it be, my c. marshalli did the same thing and had a collapse with about 6 inches of substrate. She was fine but was sitting in what was left of her tunnel so I did exactly what you were thinking of doing. It took her about 4 days to even try digging again and when she did it was...

All the avic's I've seen have made a molting web up high in their homes and molted in that. The most recent few have been in a tube shapped web in the corner. Never seen one molt on the ground.

Like most threads with this question asked before. He might be getting close to a molt. My a.avic didn't eat for a month before he molted. Wouldn't worry too much, give him time let him alone to settle down sometimes it takes a while if you keep poking and prodding such as opening the...

You did get suggestions on the Psalmpoeus family. I don't have any handling pictures of mine. But there are plety of handling pictures of them out there.

Just my two cents but if you're feeding a cricket that size to the p. pulcher (it looks like the same size as the T) make sure you injure it like mashing it's head so that it can't bite the T. It would be horrible to injure or lose a T from a feeder bite.

You sir are a lucky guy. My a. geniculata tries to rip my face off every time I even go in to change the water dish....and if she isn't trying to rip my face off she raising her rump and making a cloud of hairs. Like they say it always varies from individual to individual. Edit: just to throw...

Jenna Jameson? Sorry it's the only porn name that I could think of without doing research. Not sure I want to do that kind of research at the moment.

The a. versicolor is going to be very similar set up and upkeep to the a. avic. Of course the a. avic you can generally find juveniles for a decent price quite easily at most exotic pet stores. Need a tall tank and higher humidity with good ventilation. As a first T I'd suggest you look into...

Our a. geniculata (white knee) is really nice to look at and fairly active. Always out on display. She is an aggressive feeder and pretty much eats whenever food is put in. She is not handleable, she likes to kick hairs and throw up threat displays. As long as you aren't looking for a...

Looks good to me just make sure you add a lot of ventilation holes for them.
