    What is the life expectancy for an adult male T?

    I know nothing of mating "T's" Of course I do not want any of my babies to die without having the opportunity to mate at least once. I love my pets! If there is anyone in NC that is willing to assist me in my first mating steps then I am game! Any takers? Anyone out there interested, or...

    Relocating tarantulas

    Thanks all! I do not have any pic unfortunately but the enclosure is about 5ft high and about 12 ft wide. The compartments do not slide out but the lids do. My concern is that with just a few inches for my hand between the top of the container to the top of each shelf (on each row) that my...

    Relocating tarantulas

    What is the life expectancy for an adult male T?

    I have 3 adult males (Honduran Curly hair; Costa Rican Red Rump and a Mexican Red Rump). All are of course jumpy and nervous BUT my poor Mexican Red Rump looks soooo pityful. His coloration has dulled during the last few months and his rump is just about completely bald. I feel so sorry for...

    I have lost 2 Tarantulas this week and do not understand why?

    Thank you so much for the information & thoughts... Thank you, all. Losing my T's has been very upsetting to me. All of my pets are my babies and I am very attentive to their happiness and needs. I feel really bad at the thought of any possible negligence on my part causing any of my pets to...

    I have lost 2 Tarantulas this week and do not understand why?

    :8o I feed my tarantulas about every 3-5 days and make sure they have enough water and humidity. I found my Mexican Bloodleg (1/2 inch and approxiamately 1 year old) dead Sunday. My Goliath Birdeater (juvenile; about 2 inches)was acting strangely and moving very weakly on Saturday. I found it...

    Moult pics

    Nice shots! My B.vagans also molted, 3 days ago. I have discovered I have a "male" though I had no idea when I bought it as a sling that it would mature in a little over 2 years, and be a male :( . I am sad, to know I will not have him as long as some others. Out of my 35 T's or varies...

    Considering Aphonopelma moderatum?

    I have been wanting to add this Tarantula to my collection, which for the most parts consists of docile T's. I have heard from some that it is a docile tarantula for easy handling, and one of the most beautiful of the tarantula world. On the other hand I have heard it is an aggressive...

    Are "pinkies" & "frogs" truly nutritional for T's?

    I just can't help but feel sorry for the poor little "babies," and have a hard enough time feeding crickets to my T's. However, I see and hear of so many people feeding baby mice and frogs to Tarantulas. I read many years ago that they do not truly serve as something that the Tarantula must...

    Any Arachnoboards members in the NC area?

    :confused: I hope this post isn't inappropriate or sound too personal because I certainly do not mean it to. I am just wondering if there is anyone that may live close to my neck of the woods that may be more advanced? I would love to see another members collection in person (regardless of...

    Uphill battle with landlord......

    When I lived in an apartment last year I told my landlord that I had "delicate pets" and asked that she not spray my apartment when it came time to treat with any pesticides. She asked what I had, so I was honest and told her 30+ T's, 3 Scorpions and 2 snakes. Surprisingly enough, she was open...
