These are fantastic pictures, well done! Also quite a great-looking army! 😊

Adding design to the lower piece of stepped blocks sounds like a neat idea, actually. I'm excited to see how it looks with grout added! :)

Oh my goodness, that was more fun than Where's Waldo! There needs to be a trapdoor spider version of those books because that never gets old. :biggrin:

Yay! I figured it was a trapdoor spider, but since I have trouble telling the difference between Texas trapdoors and funnel web spiders, I didn't want to stand by my guess alone without a second opinion. :) Anyone else to back up that answer or give another in regards to sp.?

In San Antonio, Texas- One of my friends found two of these in his house and we're both curious what type of spider it is. If anyone could help us figure it out, we'd both be grateful. Particularly him, he has two little girls so naturally he's a little worried. :/

The P. regalis sling molted 2 days ago. Still tiny as ever! Unlike the P. metallica sling who has grown a bit after it's last molt in May. O_O

This. When I got my first tarantula, I thought, "You know, I'm good with just this one actually." Annnnd now I have 8 and that number itself will continue to grow, especially with the upcoming Reptile Expo here. (They usually bring along some interesting tarantulas! :D) As for the OP's...

My P. metallica sling molted on Mother's Day and my A. avicularia molted on the 9th... to which the molt was an unsexable one, blah!!

Oh no, the abdomen was ruptured? :( It could've injured itself or the pet store handler could've even accidentally done it. Unfortunately, with that knowledge it probably is gone. Not to sound cold, though I'd call the pet store and ask for a refund. Sorry for such a quick loss. :( Sent from...

You get a deli cup with air holes in it (If yours came inside one, use that one. Most Ts come in one when you buy them.), put a liberally damp, warm paper towel in it (it's meant to be VERY damp to keep humidity high and help prevent dehydration) though, not damp enough to have excess water in...

On the small off chance it isn't quite dead yet, put it into ICU. I've heard of some Ts displaying the death curl, put into ICU, and actually surviving. If it doesn't live past that, or is just flat out gone, at least you know you tried!

LOL! Well she must be a neat freak then, because she's willing to overcome her laziness to dispose of her trash in the water dish! {D

I think I lucked out so far... all of my Ts seem as OCD as I am and don't really mess up their water dish at all, including the ones who seem to supremely enjoy re-decorating. My A. hentzi I've seen go to her water dish and she seems to find ways NOT to get stuff in there! LOL. (I know that...

I did a search to see if this has been posted here and probably didn't do a great search since nothing popped up, however... on the off chance... http://loureads.com/2011/05/15/lou-reads-from-the-arachnoboards-creepy-crawly-people/ I was searching on Google and fell upon this guy...

jhalla16- Oh wow! I'm definitely going to start doing that! Thanks so much... now I won't have to play "Let's Find the Roach" anymore, haha! Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

As long as she's eating it, then yes, possibly. Just make sure to remove the legs from the roach so that IF his theory of stress is correct, the roach won't stress her out by walking all over the place. The humidity in the ICU cup should also help aid her in regards to being dehydrated.

Yeah, I read that one guy put his T into ICU, only slowly opening the lid to place a roach with it's legs taken off in there, power-feeding in a sense, then back into the humid, dark ICU. Powerfeeding with roaches that have their legs torn off could help a molt happen faster. I wish I remember...

Yeah, it's possibly the wet substrate. I noticed that with mine when I first got him and had to take him out till the substrate dried. Then he was happy and doing the typical "re-modeling." :P

Yeah, I've recently started using dubias over crickets... and granted I do like them more than crickets (never thought I'd say that!), however when they burrow, it's agitating. :\ If the antennae thing works, I too would like to know! O_O

Dun dun dunnn!
