well yes you are right about the terms, they were a bit congusing on an american forum, but 75 people could ask me to be clearer on the subject.
Generally, tarantulas have 2 levels before becoming a "hunting,eating tarantula." European terms are for this:
L1 or N1 (EWL)
L2 or N2 (1st...
greetings people.
I have recently bred P.formosa succesfuly and now I am waiting for them to get to 1st molt.
they were L3 and i know that they can get to L4. After the final molt i couldnt decide if they are still larvae or they are 1st molt. I isolated one of them and fed it a roach...
The enclosure is exposed but not her burrow. now I covered each side with black paper and will try another month like this. Drinking made me think that she wants to molt.

3rd one is a normal terrestrial T...
at first I did not think they are nematodes because she molted in my care for a couple of times.
But in the other thread, the spiders developed it after healthy molts.
Results, nematodes can stay after molting? or they can appear out of nowhere on a T even if the feeder colony is healthy...
I think I have a tarantula-curse these days.
My female L. violaceopes stopped eating 2-3 days ago and I noticed her killing prey but not eating afterwards.
Then today she was hanging on enclosure wall with 1 leg. After poking her, I noticed that she was dead.
The only strange looking...
