Remember, continuing to "rescue" T's from your LPS just encourages them to keep getting more since they are moving off the shelf, so to speak. It's a nice thing your doing to try and make them comfortable, but maybe try to educate them a little while your in there rescuing the next one. maybe...

nice setup, I think it will be happy in there and have it all webbed up in no time. I have 2 OBT's my tanks aren't much different, minus the flower.

sorry about the bleek discription, lol. i only caught the ending but recorded the later showing and finished watching it. it really was a good show and thought it was something everyone on here should check out. gave some perspective on why buying captive bred T's is so important when you see...

there is an hour long program on animal planet right now, it was pretty interesting. it on again sometime tonight i have it set to record. they were showing thousands of them in cambodia being fried up and eaten!! it was crazy.

that's what i thought, thanks

Welcome to the board, this a great place to find all the information you will need. as for the obt a 10 gallon tank is pretty big for them IMO. but if you are set on it you can make the substrate deeper on one end and use some corkbark or fake plants on the other end for climbing. I have 2...

I just bought 3 A.avics a week ago, found them on craigslist. is this one a MM?

I was in my lps yesterday buying crickets and was checking out an A.avic they had. and we started talking about T's and I mentioned that I had 3 A.avics already. she then asked what color they were because the black ones were males and the brown ones were females :? . I just said good to know...

I think you should get a new T to diversify your imaginative possibilities. your trouble is your focusing on 1 T, if you get a bunch then the one will stop haunting you. ;P

my goal is to be able to afford some nice females to add to my collection. or to add more T's period!!!

Usually after their fangs darken up. if you can't see them a full week or two is a good rule of thumb.

it's very normal behavior. I've had mine about 1 1/2 years it definately won't starve itself. it will surface when it gets thirsty or hungry. They just prefer to be down in there cave.

that sucks Katy, sorry to hear that, I really hope your not getting overly sensitive to your T's. that would lead to less time holding and enjoying them the way you do. maybe it was just over exposure and won't be so bad in the future.

well i didn't meet the love of my life through T's. she actually has an extreme case of arachnophobia. but her love for me makes her accept them. which says something.

Owning and raising T's isn't at all about tricks. They are entertaining in their own way. there are so many different species from all over the world that have their own personal traits. the trick is to find the ones that interest you. I have 6 T's myself and am looking to expand the diversity...

nice, I have two of these but never tried to handle. I doubt I'll be trying it anytime soon.

I have a 6" female KB in about 8" of peat. it has burrowed out all the way to the bottom and around the side and made a giant cavern in the middle. can't get any clear pics do to silk and peat plastered to the side but they are definately bulldozers. you can expect yours to make it's own unique...

P. murinus would make a better Holloween T. orange and black aren't common Irish colors.

I have an H. Gigas about 2" had from about a 1/2" it does make some great burrows but haven't tried to give it a swim hole yet. i'll have to give it a shot when it's time to upgrade it's tank. but I agree they are a great T to add to your collection. glad your enjoying yours so much, they are...

That's awsome. how big is their original enclosure?
