Relative humidity in % http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_humidity too technical for me lol, i thought i knew what it was, now i'm confused

dunno, 80%? can american desertspiders handle it?

yeah I did feed it to another T, I did realize about transmitting disease afterwards, stupid :/ but besides that I don't think its a problem can a high RH be fatal to s B smithi?

It always hurts a bit, but it's part of the hobby. My P muticus had a good meal on her :)

It was like dead, totally limp in my hands, but only reacted when I blew on it, but now she is dead :/ rip, one of my favs, had her as a sling

Thanks for the reply She's 3-4 years old, not sure, but not fully grown. It was limp when I had it in my hands, it wasn't in a curled position when I discovered her in her plastic container. It's just as a dead spider, but twitched when blew at it, never seen it before, don't know if that...

Hi, I just discovered my B. smithi juvenile motionless and limp, I thought it was dead for whatever reason, but when I blew on it, it twitched heavily. It isnt molting, because she had just molted some weeks ago, but I have given it newly purchased dubia's from a fair. what could it be? :( I...

are garlic and rosemary harmful to dubia's and t's (directly and indirectly fed through roach) If not, I'd like to try it for mite control.

Looks like the dot also appears on females.

I don't think spiders suffer when dying, freezer just speeds it up a bit.

Thanks for the immediate helpful responses :worship: , I'm new here .

I put a thick patch of cornstarch on the tear, that will stop the bleeding. The spider is badly stressed now :( I give it rest now and wait a night. It happend after a mating attempt, he freaked out and escaped. Also last molt happend upright, so the ends are a bit deformed (like mine, hence my...

Yesterday, my B smithi adult male fell and its abdomen burst open badly. Now it is active and is walking around, but the paper towel underneath it has red spots and damp spots, so it is still leaking. I know it is doomed, esp when nothing is done, how can I stop the bleeding? I've put a bit of...

Isn't it dangerous for tropical spiders like H lividum when the substrate is dry and only a full waterdish is provided? All my T's have dry substrate ,(sometimes i spill water when filling the dishes/caps), I do see mites but I dont worry. Some T's have some mites on their fangs, but that is...

Is it possible to maintain a predatory mite colony?

You mean the band covering the lungs, beneath the opening? Cool, then mine is also female :)

Cool I think male, because of the shiny dot above the opening.

Never let the sun shine on 'em Lost a T blondi sling (N00B) and a P nigricolor juv (sister let the sun shine in)

I had a similar idea :) Made a simple one using php and mysql.

Short hairs and a gray triangle above the opening, male I could be wrong.
