I'm going to say laeta as well. ---------- Post added 08-09-2011 at 02:51 PM ---------- The lack of color seems to be because of low light

Definately a bald spot. Definately Haplopelma. hmmm?

If you jump into a new species that you expect to be the devil itself then you are probably going to be disapointed.

Agree with Lady^

I totally agree with the above. I was bitten by a L. hesperus(?) a couple months back. I fealt very nausiated and had terrible cramps(mainly abdominal). It was definately the worst bite I've ever experienced. As far as this story goes I find it impossible that a single or even a couple Widows...

Thats typical of this species. Although you won't see it often, the web/substrate caverns they create are awsome! They will actually sandwich a layer of substrate in between two layers of silk creating thick sturdy walls. Very cool species!

Sorry to hear that man. Female rosies are an odd bunch.

Personally I prefer to measure my Ts while they are in a fairly "relaxed" position(without them completely stretched out). I do still measure via DLS. I feel it's a more honest measurement than the later. I just feel its an exageration when I see someone hover a ruler over a specimen in a...

No worries on the burrowing. It's pretty typical for slings and juvi L.p to burrow.

Couldn't agree more. Molts are very interesting especially while they are young and frequent!

I got my start with both juvies and slings. If it is a faster growing species IE:Poecilotheria, Lasiodora, Accanthoscurria...etc then go with a sling. For slower growing species I'd suggest going with a juvi or sub adult. I'd suggest going with a L. parahybana sling. They are inexpensive...

Most people will tell you it's 50/50, but that may not be the case. I've never really have researched the subject though.

female definately

X3 on NOT getting the ornata. they can be very defensive and may even lunge at you in certain situations. They are also one of the more venomous Pokies from personal experience. Not trying to scare you. I would just waite to make it your second or third of this genus. I'd say go with...

Thats almost Identicle to my first order from him! I'd still suggest getting 2 macs as they are so cheap. you wouldn't want to end up with a male. :( Thats a fun group of Ts you have there. Peace

I agree. Get the marshalli. I love mine! Oh and snag up 2 H. macs!:D I presume you're ordering from P. B. ?

another reason I would suggest an Lp.. They have some of the most interesting personalities of any T I have encountered. They are really fun to own. The main reason I would personally stear clear of Grammastola due to the fact that I have a terrible reaction to their hairs. More so than any...

In my opinion it would be much more efficient to just slightly over-flow the T's water dish just enough to add a little moisture to the substrate. the sub will hold the moisture much longer than a misting wich lasts for a day or two at best. Works great for me! Peace

For as long as they are slings(1.5''+-) I would keep the humidity relatively high 80% or so. When they grow to a larger size you will want to lower the humidity to roughly half of that of when they are slings. Peace

I'd have to suggest going with the L parahybana. They are super affordable, easy to come by, easy to care for, and grow FAST. Plus they are usually out in the open once they are a little larger. As for feeding, I'd suggest buying 10 or so B. dubia nimphs and putting them in a critter keeper...
