Very nice, beautiful color! Mine has never burrowed. Its one of those OBTs that thinks its an arboreal. :) I wouldnt worry about it if I were you.

Doing that as we speak! Couldnt hurt anyway. Thanks for taking the time, Phaedrus. That Avic is really starting to worry me!

Well as sure as I can be without having it tested... which is a 50/50! LOL! I wouldnt lay a bet on it being female.... so it's not a sure thing! Legspan is about 2". I figure I just got another defective critter as I tend to take the ones that look like they need help.. and this one did!

Ive had her maybe 4 months. Its not urgent enough to use an ICU.. its hard to explain.. she just isnt thriving or eating. She does drink a lot of water though... thank goodness. There is no sign of parasites or anything else to explain why she wont thrive. Ive tried crix, maggots ( which she...

I cant speak for all organizations, but the aspca usually wont get involved in "bug situations" unfortunately. The paper is probably your best bet and even then... I dont see a big outcry for our much maligned buddies.

Ok, I have an Avic Avic Juvenile female. This T has been sickly from the day I got it. I bought her as she looked bad at the petstore and I figured with some help she would start to flourish. No luck. Wont eat well, has a butt of a raisin and spindly legs, lost a leg a while back, and seems...

I was fooling around in my OBT tank.. getting a water dish and out of the blue she bolts up the tongs to my forearm.. I put my other hand out palm open to block her escape and she bit me... a few weeks ago. Musta been a dry bite cause nothing happened, but talk about a blast to the ticker. {D...

Well, dont be too comfortable with the bathtub :D My usambara climbed up the side of our bathtub... but I do agree it's the best way to transfer one of these lil devils. Delicup, piece of cardboard, tongs to remove web somewhat, and valium for after you get it safely in the delicup and your...

Yes, I did not think it was a very good comparison but it was all I could think of! Im speaking of the way dogs are currently AFTER these centuries of selective breeding... we have a bunch of mutants, although they are fertile, they are genetically corrupt. Im kind of wondering if this same...

It shouldnt be a flaming debate, people are entitled to their own opinions. Yours and mine just happen to be on the same page for now! LOL! From the little I know so far I agree with what you're saying. It simply muddies the water of an already "mysterious" subject. I am thinking of it in...

I agree with this... to an extent. Arachnophobia is a "morbid fear" which isnt onthe lines of your garden variety fear of spiders :) I can only say this with confidence as my uncle is a true arachnophobic. I have never met another, so I use him a lot in examples! Its a panic attack, walk on...

LOL! I hear ya there. :) I did some reading last night on the hybridization vs traditional breeding and I have to say I am leaning toward being against breeding hybrids. There seem to be many instances of hybrids that really are fertile and I imagine this gets pretty muddy at some point...

If anyone is still interested, I was emailed back pretty promptly! Im kinda interested in this.... > I can find no pics or information on this: > Mexican Fantasy > (Brachypelma pallidum x vagans) * CB 3/4" > CB 1" $14. > $16. > > Can you please provide more info and a pic? This is a...

Ok, but whats the point in doing it other than being able to say "Lookie I have a hybrid"??? Am I missing something here?

Ok so thats the one thats advertised? Is it sterile? Im just curious as I dont believe I have ever seen a hybrid. Guess I never payed attention.

Give it a few days and it'll be right as rain and ready to eat :)

If I were you,Id leave it alone. As you can imagine, a molt is strenuous and the T is vulnerable right after a molt. Resist the urge! IMHO :)

I forgot to add something. I would like to hear your views on the pros and cons of hybridization. As I said I am not up on the data anough to make an informed decision. Im reading a bit about it, but Id like to hear the opinions of other hobbyists and breeders. (can opened, worms everywhere..)

Mexican Fantasy (Brachypelma pallidum x vagans) * CB 3/4" CB 1" $14. $16. This is exactly what the listing says with price. No link to a pic or elaboration on this thing. I have emailed and asked for more info.

LOL! In my searching I discovered that too, rosehaired! I did a google image search with the assigned name and there is nothing.
