well it looks like my A.urticans, i know the pics are not that great put you could see the same patterns and when i took the pic it was in pre-molt but now it has the adult colors i will try to post a new pic omar

well i had the same experience but my G.Rose was the same friendly and i even let my kid brother use it for show and tell. This was one of my first T that i got back in 97 or so but once it full muture it started to get agressive and defensive so know i feed it and leave it alone so i would...

Well my first T was B.smithi and at first she was skittish but not shy because when she got about 3 to 4 inches i got her a 2.5 gal tank with a coconut and she would never hide, she would always be out until she molted then she will hide in the coconut. she has never given me the attack post or...

First what type of T do you have and what size? I would not recommend using a heat lamp because it could get to hot for the T or you could forget to turn it off and you would have cooked T. but T can not detect the infrared light Omar

well i tried it but for some of my T it did not work becasue for the ones that need humi i tape some of the lid butwith the sun shining on the cages it increases the temp and the humi so i did not know if too humi was good so instead i used a uv light but that is just me.

Well my rose does the same but when she does not want them she will kill them web them and put them in the opposite of the tank from where she is at but if she is going to eat them later she will be close to the bolus

Hey guys I am just wondering why so many people are collecting tarantulas, I started with 2 and now I have 23 T and I am going to the Lee Waston reptile swap to buy more but why is this hobby so addictive. Is not like the tarantula will show any affection like a dog or cat but yet I collect...

i thought the same way as u smof that a bigger tank is better but it is not, i keep my B. smit that is 4.5" in a 2.5 gal and it is doing better then when i had her in a 20gal. In the smaller tank you could better regulat the temp and humid.

i also have both as slings and so far i can not tell which one is more aggressive yet. but they but run instead of standing thier ground

i would go for it and i will buy one

well thanks guys for your help but my goliath did not make it, it died when molting :8o

Well the same thing happen to me but with my snake. I bought a log from the petstore and i did not steralize it because i thought it was clean but it turns out that mites could lay eggs in the wood and the eggs would hatch when the log gets warm up like by my heat lamp. But mites are either...

Hello, this is Omar representing Chicago, IL. I bought my first Tarantula about 3 years ago, which was a Chilean Rose hair. I became hooked but every time i went to a pet store they had the same tarantulas the pinktoe or the Rose hair or the starburst baboon and i did not felt like ordering...

if you live by chicago,IL, you can go to Lee Watson Reptile swap, http://www.reptileswap.com/, There are two tarantula venders that i buy who are Botar By Eight (http://www.botarby8s.com/) and Theraphosid Breeding Project. Both have great T's at good prices.

well i had a B. smithi spiderling and i did not have the modern center air system so my room was always cooler. The heater was in the living room and i kept my spider in my room which had a temp of mid 70 and my B. smithi did just find and know she is about 4.5inch and still growing.

i have a male OBT and every time i get the water dish it runs into it's home of webbing it made. I think you should get one you will be fine as long as you be careful and use common sense
