Totally adorable! You will find out that GBB's are always hungry. Its part of why they are fun. They are always enthusiastic about dinner. Even my adults still act like that. And they are so, so pretty!!

Mine would be my B. Klassi female, my A. leata female, L. Klugi female and N. Carapoensis female.

Congratulations!!!! Beautiful new babies!!!!!!

Because they are fun to watch, very beautiful, make amazingly intricate webbing all over everything, and can not get enough food to satisfy them. They are a good one to show off. If anyone asks me why spiders, I show them a green bottle. Why wouldn't anyone want to keep something that pretty?

You are right. Things have changed. I have recently returned as well. I will say though, I started in 2005 and even then B. Smithi was one everyone wanted and not all had. Same for most of the more colorful brachys. Why have OBTs become such a problem? More owners, more bites? I have...

Looks good. What a cute little butt! I remember when mine was that little. Its fun to watch them eat, they are such little piggies.

To the op. Yes. Just drop them in, if your colbolt wants to eat, she will find food. I don't think brachys are slow, but I do have a close to 6 in male boehmei that always has to be afraid of his food before he eats it. He always runs from the crickets when I first put them in his house.

Congrats! A P. Regalis was my first pokie too. I agree with everyone else. Its normal for them to hide and from what you said your baby may be getting ready to molt.

Thank you for the welcome! Ultim4Spiderz, I haven't personally talked to Rob in a long time, but I know he is well. I am facebook friends with his wife. I am not sure about arachnophiles. I know that Vicki and her husband got divorced. It may not be up at all anymore.

2bears, *hug*! Sana, save you from yourself or your addiction? :) problemchildx, How are you? Its good to see you too!

One spelling error and I get teased! LOL. Thank you cold blood. Its good to be back!!

The worst I ever heard was some teenager telling a mom and her 7 or 8 year old son that a mature male H. Lividum was a good pet for her son to handle and that it would live a long time and it just needed to moult and then it would be blue. (They had it advertised as a blue baboon)

Congrats on the molt! I know how you feel. I haven't ever seen a T mold completely. I have tried. I just found I have a fresh beauty too. My big girl B. vagans just molted. So pretty!

I think a kids book about tarantulas and/ or spiders in general would be great. Who knows, a kid could fall in love with it and grow up to be an arachnologist! You should write it. (No sarcasm intended, being sincere)

I haven't been on the boards for years, life happens and all. But life has straightened out and I still have around 70 adult and juvie T's and 40 bsbies or so. I miss talking to people about spiders and watching them cringe. So what is up with you all?

Don't dig her out, she is fine. She picked the spot she liked. Generally my big girl hides unless she is hungry, my babies are almost always visible, even if its just a leg. She will most likely expand her burrow, and line it with webbing. My Snuggle Bunny has hers lined so thickly with...

You have done what you can. Now you need to hope the pet store cares enough to do something about it. Hopefully they will listen to you and either stop buying from that supplier, or hold them responsible for the health of the animals.

An H. lividum is not what I would recommend as a first T, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There are more than a few people on these boards that started with fast, defensive Ts and have done just fine with them. It is all up to you, only you know how you truly feel about this. Are you...

I'm so sorry for your loss!!! It can be hard to tell why a T dies. Since she was wc there is always a possibility of internal parasites, or some other internal problem that wasn't visible. I don't think you are going to be able to find out why, sometimes it just happens. As far as body...

I have done both pre killed and just cricket parts and both have worked well. I have used flightless fruit flies but found them harder to manage. I seem to remember reading somewhere that someone did an experiment and tested feeding only fruit flies versus only crickets, and the slings fed...
