It's called drumming - looking for a mate.

When some select tarantulas of mine die I plan on casting them in resin. See this thread for info on how.

If the quoted part is true and you actually read into it then you already know and are just trying to troll.

Pics? Only thing that I can really think of is trying cricket soup but that might be really hard to do with that small of a sling.

Tarantulas go through color changes between molts. Immediately after a molt their colors are very bright and visually striking but, as the most recent molt fades into the past, the colors begin to fade and become duller. "Hazy" orange is common if a P. irminia hasn't molted in a while but is...

Tarantulas go on fasts. It will eat/molt when it's ready and all you can do is wait and obsessionally offer food but then remove it if it does not take it.

Because you're new I won't rip into you about opening a can of worms. Do a search on hybrids, hybridization, etc. It's a big no-no.

Tibial spurs on MM Avicularias can be rather hard to see compared to other species'. At least in my experience they have been. If the change that you are referring to in his pedipalps is that they are now boxing gloves then I would suspect that you have a MM and have just missed the hooks...

You're never too old for awesomeness <--- Click

All of which are things that, like Shell put it, Take a little time on this board (or even just read a book like the TKG) and you'll find out how to use CO2 to knock out a tarantula, what to put on your tarantula if it starts to bleed, and I sure hope that the vast majority of people here know...

I have had three Brachypelma species for about three years now. A smithi, an emilia, and a vagans. They've each gained less than an inch each year but I suspect female on 2 and know it on the vagans.

Pretty much ignore everything Jared781 said. Most experienced keepers on here provide a water dish when the tarantula reaches about 2" DLS (Diagonal Leg Span). At the size that yours is just trickle water down the side of the deli cup about once a week or so and let it pool. That and combined...

Certainly not in premolt yet. When it is the entire abdomen will go jet black. I'm sure if you ran just a web search on "Tarantula Abdomen" you'll find a couple pictures to show you.

Go to the classifieds and the online dealer review sections of this website.

Yes. Whatever you think that you would like and could handle. If you want specifics try giving us specifics about what you're looking for in a tarantula and I'm sure that we could be of even more use.

Not exactly a handling species because they're, to use dtknow's phrasing, a bit squirmy/wiry but red eye crocodile skinks are amazing to look at. They're basically like little, baby dragons.

Word gets around dorms very quickly and people are vindictive jerks who tend to talk. Combine that with the fact that most dorms barely allow fish and I would take a long look at the housing contract that you signed just to make sure that you're okay with the consequences of what could happen...

Pics and maybe someone here could ID it.

Mind if I ask what you sent to M(r)s. Sargent?

Don't be so sure. "and any others that the Department, by 20 administrative rule, designates or deems medically 21 significant. 22 (19) Other animals that the Director, after consulting 23 with the Dangerous Animal Advisory Council, designates, by 24 administrative rule, as dangerous...
