Don't worry about it not eating, I've had my rosea for around 9 years, and she's only eaten 6 or 7 times since i got her, and it looks pretty healthy.

I have had my gbb since July 05, and used to eat as much as I'd give it, but hasn't eaten since mid December 05 ( mine currently 4") as for size comparison: quarter = 10p

I keep my L. parahybana in a tank 24"x12"x12", temp is kept around 25c, humidity 40%-50%, she has a hide in one corner but never uses it and is a perfect display spider, as she never hides, she is currently around 7.5".

Mine is currently in digging mode, every morning when i check on her theres a new hole or mound of substrate. She's also decided she's not going to eat, hasn't eaten since early October.

You won't regret getting one of these, mine is about 7" right now, eats anything you put in the tank (probably even my fingers if I gave her half a chance), and she never hides, so makes a great display tarantula.

My B vagans sling spent almost all its time underground until it reached 2.5"-3" in size, now it rarely burrows, and is always visable. (doesn't take long to reach that size).

I've been pinched a few times by my emps, but so far they have not drawn blood.

I have 9 Emps in a large tank (54"x15"x15), they are very hardy and easy to keep, with this number in the same tank I made sure there were plenty of hides, but they have all decides to live together in one large burrow they made, none have used the hides I made for them. I have never been stung...

When I first got my smithi, it spent the first couple of weeks on the side/top of its tank, then dug itself a burrow and now spends most of its time in there, I use 100% peat, kept dry, and a small water dish. I wish it would grow a bit quicker though.

I use locusts as the main food for all my T's (10 at the moment) and my scorpions , you still have some smell but not as much as crickets, they are bigger, slower, therfore easier to catch, they are readily available here in the UK and just as cheap as crickets. So far all my T's love them.

didn't make it Checked on him this morning and he was out of his hide, and looks like he didn't survive, he's partly curled up and not moving. He had lost both palps and one front leg during the molt.:mad: He had spent 3 weeks in with my female parahybana, so hopefully, i'll get an sac from...

He Made it He molted on 1st December, he's alive, but he is still webbed up in his hide, so can't see if he came through alright, just have to wait till he comes out.

I have a mature male Lasiodora parahybana, who is attempting a post ultimate molt, does anyone know what his chances are?, assuming he survives will he still be able to breed?

Not too sure on its age, but its approx 5" Only had it about 6 months, molted about 2 months ago. The webbing is quite impressive, right at the top, about 4" below the lid, starting on one side going round the corner and along the back wall of the tank, it has three exits, one at each end and...

Mine thinks its 100% arboreal, very rarely touching the substrate, prefering to stay in its web in top corner of tank, between large rock and tank side, it just sits at the entrance of web most of the time.

I say natural, but then I only have 10 T's (so far), all have peat substrate, a few rocks, logs/bark and a couple of fake plants, and require very little maintenance.

I have two 7"+ (1xM and 1xF), both have 6-7" of substrate and a hide, but neither of them have ever burrowed or used the hides, and are always sitting out in the open.

I recently got two of these, sometimes on the ground, sometimes at the top of the tank.

I also use an oil filled radiator, controlled with a seperate thermostat, this keeps the whole room (16' x 18') at 24.5C (75-76F), give or take half a degree, and not too expensive at roughly £100/year.

I have mine in a 18"x18"x15" tank, but since day one it has only ever used an area 8x6x4 in one top corner, where it made its web,and thats where it stays, occasionally come out, but never touches the ground. The tank is kept dry with a water dish.
