So my memory did fail me on the 11.75" post I wrote earlier, but none-the-less, that's a huge specimen.

They're pretty much the same. They will grow to a similar size and similar speed depending on husbandry, temperatures and feedings. AB user Fran had a Theraphosa stirmi that reached 11.75" if my memory dosen't fail.

Not new to the hobby, just newly described since 2010. They used to be considered the same species as Theraphosa blondi.

Haplopelma minax Lampropelma sp. "Borneo black" Those two fit your description. That is if your talking about a spider that is all black. If not, Psalmopoeus irminia like mentioned above is a good guess.

Temperatures in Theraphosa burrows have been recorded as low as 64.4f. Keeping it there for three weeks would not be recommended, but I highly doubt there would be any problems during nightimes.

Avicilotheripelma photoshoppus Legs of a P.subfusca Carapace of a C.cyaneopubescens Opisthosoma of a A.minatrix Nice mix though, if it were real. Has a bit of the look of Iridopelma seladonium

Your spider is in heavy premolt. Keep humid and leave it alone and it should molt fine if the conditions have been optimal since the last molt. It's definately not 10 weeks old. And you can not know how old it is. Yours is considered a sub-adult right now at that size. Your picture is...

I had a blockage problem with Theraphosa blondi where the abdomen became huge, and she would/could not web or poop. I do believe this could be a possible answer to your question...

Your going to be here tonight? And yeah it sucks, but the male was old and I wasn,t exactly sure he was still viable...

Well finally the female pulled through but the male is long gone. I would have really loved to get a sack out of these...

Have you seen it poop in the last weeks?

No they are not. I highly doubt this. Have you ever seen a sumo wrestler? You just debated your own post, congratulations.

For 15 years, I had never had any reaction to U-hairs. Then 3 years ago it started. And last week I packed a Lasiodora parahybana one night and was still scratching my hands the next day until supper time. I guess it can devellop throughout time.

That's not because they don't eat. It's just because they die for no reason.

I think that at 4:40 they dropped a Grammostola pulchra...

They reach around 7.5"

When I rehoused my mature female Lp, I found my self running and jumping in my swimming pool right after ;) And I usually repeat that experience when dealing with kickers...

What do say about Psalmopoeus sp.? And I'm pretty sure you've never seen a MM Holothele incei bolt out of the females enclosure... ;) Which makes me think about a recent event involving Psalmopoeus irminia. When watering, the 2" specimen proceeded to bolt out on my left hand, make it all the...

Find a packing video tutorial. Explaining how to with words is not an easy task...

And so I'm glad to hear ;) Seriously, I'm glad you didn't go half blind because of trying to manipulate a big defensive spider. Imagine how that would sound in society lol
