    Can not decide Larvae4 or 1st molt.

    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...

    P. metallica fasts for almost a year!

    Greetings people, My adult female P. metallica hasnt eaten since I got her off of a shipment lasting for about 21days! I housed her in August 2010 and I have been trying not to disturb her since then. Tried to feed her lots of times being refused each time. She webbed her shelter and...

    C.Faciatum care questions
