Thanks for everyones help in this bizarre situation, but as quickly as it appeared, it has gone away. Or so it seems. I went to see how she was tonight and didn't notice any smell at all. I think I am going to keep her in the closet for the next couple days just to make sure everything goes away...

The closest thing I can equate the smell to is that of dirty dish rags. You know when they sit for a while and get kinda nasty. That's what she smells like. I've put her down in the laundry room closet right now until I can figure what is going on. Like mentioned I hope the next molt gets rid of...

She's quite the pig I must say. She eats everything that she sees, and eats it all. This is really mind boggling.

I believe it is wild caught. It was fairly skinny when I bought it. I think though that I am going to return it, or see if I can exhange it for something else. It's grossing me out.

Hmm, I did a search about this on google and came across only one relevant link where a guy had made a post about his stinky T. blondi in a different message board. Weird. Unfortunately though, no solution.

Thanks for both replies. I've given her a look over in a clear cup to make sure she didn't have any rotting legs or anything. Everything looks to be in tip top shape including her underside. Now as for it being a pile of dead crickets, I thought is what it was at first, but since replacing...

Hey there. I got a T. blondi a little while ago and to put it simply she stinks. I thought it was the substrate at first so I changed it to a completely different kind eventually. When I was switiching the substrate I moved her to a small container and could smell her when she was in there...

That's the one thing I hate about arboreals. No matter how many times you clean the side of the tank, they'll proceed to dump all over it about a minute later.

It only got it about an hour ago, so the mouse is still whole pretty much. I bet though by tomorrow afternoon it will be all gone.

Hey there. I got my P. cancerides a hopper mouse today. I was gonna film the attack by the spider, but annoyingly she got it just before I hit the button on my digital camera. So what you see is everything after she stuck it. I edited out the sound so don't bother cranking your speakers to hear...

How the hell were you able to hold her? Mine would have bit me many a time even attemping to put my finger near her.

I think P. cancerides is one of the most under rated Ts out there. Mine is so mean.

The great thing about this species is that even when they are young they are this ravenous. Mine is only about 3.5 inches and it is just as psycho when it comes to food.

What do they borrow?

My irminia is the same. She just makes a little home at the bottom of her tank and stays there constantly never moving. Even when I give her crickets she rarely ventures out.

Man, I wish the Cobalt Blue I had bought didn't molt into a male that ate his own legs. He ate 2 of them! They're such an amazing T.
