Bump.... For the New T owners that may incounter this situation. Cheers, Lyle

Red Rope Light I use red "rope lights" They provide all the red light I need, and they only heat up the enclosures to 75-80 degrees. See here: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showpost.php?p=363425&postcount=2 The pictures don't do a justice.... the red light, lights up the enclosures...

Something that I tried with my OBT that worked well was: I took off the lid and then covered the enclosure with celophane plastic. Then I cut a 2-3" diameter hole in one of the corners of the celophane, in the corner of the enclosure. I put the 2 liter pop bottle top over that 2-3" hole...

I give it one molt before you need to get a bigger tank. You would be amazed at how fast Poecilotheria grow!

The man does what with his..... and the woman does? Yes please tell me about the birds and the bees! lol All kidding aside, I am confused about the sex of my Brachypelma boehmei. It just molted from 4" and is now around 4.75" - 5.00". The confusing part that you will see from the...

Ya, It is at 5.25" right now.... The flap does look very small to me also I don't see any bulbs or tibial hooks though... :? Wouldn't it have those by now if it was male? It just molted last night... the molt before that was 10 months ago.

The first set of Poecilotheria Metallica had to get here somehow.... :p

I would say that he/she could stay in there for at least 1 more molt before you need to re-house it. Cheers, Lyle

Thats kinda funny.... see this story about the same two species L. parahybana = 1 P. murinus = 0

I had a simular experience with my regalis >> SEE THREAD HERE << And I found out, as Botar has stated, that they do indeed stay towards the ground while small. Same thing with my rufilata now. Cheers, Lyle

Please see this thread for all your Haplopelma burrowing needs: Haplopelma Burrow Cheers, Lyle

I imagine that they get their T's for free, as they are running around wild there.

With computers and internet access? :?

All it looks like... is a molt. :? No dead tarantula.... oh sorry... "Poison Tarantula" that I can see...
