Snapped this while my B boehmei finished molting. Anyone care to attempt at sexing?

Sold as T apophysis. Just wanting to confirm!

T apophysis?

T apophysis?

My favorite is seeing the OBT coming up the web tunnel.....Sneaky little guy! I love to watch aggressive eating tarantulas........

Keep the substrate moist, not the T!!!!!!!!

is the actual abdomen black or the hairs black.....if the "skin" of the abdomen is black, your tarantula is in pre-molt which explains its lack of appetite.... Like someone mentioned earlier, if it doesnt eat - remove the food

G. pulchripes by far!

How big is this sling????? fruit flies always do the trick for me regarding slings.....if you havent tried that, then that might be a way to go...Let the sling do its thing.....My G iheringi sling wouldnt eat for three weeks, then it molted...so that explained everything.

I'm with these guys on the G. pulchripes..... They are aggressive eaters....They get to be at least 7 inches...are extremely docile, very easy to handle if you wanted to, and hardly ever kick hairs (if ever!) My female is a monster and by far my favorite in my collection

Thats because LP are aggressive eaters! They use their sense of touch to detect and capture food.....It doesnt describe their temperament as a whole......They are def. a skittish species as well as the A. genics I am sure if you negligently put your hand down there without caution, you will...

No, not that I have ever seen......Since they are new world Ts, they'd rather flick hairs and try to flee..... I am sure someone around here has gotten a threat posture but I have never experience one....

I own both of these species....LPs and A. genics are both skittish by nature.....will readily flick hairs!

You can put me on ignore....it wont cure your ignorance.......Trust me, you are doing me a favor by doing so anyways so Thank you! You have done nothing but caused problems on this board and cannot take advice from knowledgeable folks who were wanting to help yet you want to give advice...

For someone who was posting about having a split tank and watching one tarantula eat another due to negligence, you sure have learned a lot in the past few weeks.....maybe you should write the next book so we all can read it and become experts!

arid means dry...like a desert Humidity wont hurt them but its not recommended..... Just do as everyone suggested and let it be at room temperature......mist the tank occasionally......their water dish will get buried so its kind of hard to keep one full...... Do not do any styrofoam...

Agreed, but at least OP is asking questions and wanting to learn - I agree that buying the Tarantula Keeper's Guide would be next on my list if I was that person. I still refer back to that book when I have questions.......

Chris, you beat me to it!!!!!!
