I have had her for 4 years and she was full grown when I got her. I hope it was a bad molt and just her time to go.

I just dug through the substrate and found her curled up dead. I have never seen a Avic buried before, I guess she went there to die? :(

I was gone for two weeks and when I came back I found what looks like a perfect molt in my A. avic's tank. It looked perfect like she was there relaxing on all 8 legs, the top of the carpace was poped open and the abdomen was shrivled as if she had molted, but she is no where to be found. Is...

bump for more info

On Tue my 1.75" P. murinus was active amd well as far as I could visually tell but Wed morning he was dead. I move his container away from the rest of my T's to see if I could come up with a reason for death. Today when I came home I look in his container and what do I see tiny little...

What other species can this apply to?

I do that with my A. avic, I will hold a super worm or meal worm on the end of the tongs and put it infront of her, she will almost always grab it.

we'll one time when I was pouring water into my A. avics water bowl it jumped off the class to the water beeds that were falling. I think that it though it was some more of those magic crickets that fall out of the sky. I'm going to agree with priZZ and say that he thought you were some kind...

It looks so fuzzy maybe its a Avicularia huriana, I dont see any yellow bands so I doubt its a Avicularia juruensis or Avicularia aurantiaca. Where did you get it?

When they are in the vial I just put a few drops of water on the lid of the vial...once I move them to a larger container I use the top off of a gallon milk jug as a small dish.

I've had my 1/4" sling since Feb and it molted once and barely put any size on....in the mean time my OBT sling tripled in size.

I looped some thread around a live pinkie and lowered him infront of my E. murinus's burrow and she snached him within 1 second. The pinkie squeaked once, i think it was dead within a few seconds so I didn't feel to bad for it.

Here is my female E. murinus feeding, I would like to mate her after her next molt, probably in August sometime.

Wow, I didnt know mice had venom and were cannibalistic. :}

I doubt your avic can't find the crickets at the bottom of the tank. My A. avic has never had a problem eating, before when I was pouring water onto the plants in its tank it ran out from its tub web then jumped onto the plan as it it was trying to catch the water. It must have thought they...

take everything out of the tank, wash the tank in bleach and rinse very very well then let dry. Get some new substrate and bake it at 275 for 15min, then pull it out and let it cool quickly. If that hut isnt held together by glue bake that and the water bowl at 275 for 15min. Now all fungus...

i either tilt there container and let them fall out or i pick them up with 10" forceps

the way I understand it is that a tarantula eats by breaking down the food with enzymes outside of its body and sucking on it through its mouth, its mouth is kinda like a filter or screen that only lets paricals smaller then 1um pass. So if it did eat the string it would be broken down into...

sansoucie I would like to know this for sure because its easy to catch frogs here in Louisiana, so I got some and put them in a critter keeper for a week now but havent fed them to any T's yet. Don't want to posion my T's.
