Ok, so I have a small H. Lividum. She's been acting strange lately, she's usually a hearty eater and pretty active. Now she just sits in one place for LONG periods of time and she won't eat (even pre-killed food) and now, I've noticed a small white dot near the point where the tips of her fangs...

Without sounding preachy, I want to tell you that I had a B. Smithi, fall no more than three feet. When she hit the ground (upside-down), she freaked out, flipped right side up and darted away. I found her under my bed an hour later, dead. She had a tiny split near her spinneretes, that was...

If you know your T's species, why did you post it in the ID section?

also posotikh, how's it's temperment? My B. Albopilosum is so docile, that if I didn't know better, I would think she actually LIKES me, but sadly I know this to be false :/.

Ultum4Spiderz @ I agree, the hairs are more blonde or gold, where as that T's abdomen clearly has red tinted hairs. The legs are quite hairy though too, which is another thing that leads me too believe you have a B. Albopilosum on your hands. advan @ Yea, it's becoming an easier find, it's call...

It's a little too leggy to be a trapdoor i think. Not sure, I dunno a whole lot about true spiders

Yea, looks like maybe a honduran curly hair

At that size and with that coloration, it could be a lot of different sp, but, my H. Lividum looks a lot like that and is about the same size, also my C. brachyramosa looks similar to that as well though, also the same size.

A better pic would help, but to me it looks like a brachypelma albopilosum (honduran curly hair) . B. Vagans is also I possibility though, the reason I say b albopilosum is because the blond ring around the ceflothorax, my b albopilosum has the same ring, haven't seen b Vagans with that ring.

@ catfishrod69, I did mean two different T's. My A. Versicolor molted four days ago. @ paassatt, well, I don't know for certain she's female, but I bought her from a friend who said he was pretty sure from her last molt that she's female, I'll of course sex her next molt, but I guess there's no...

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping she does molt, that would be two molts in two weeks, and I've got a pokie exhibiting similar behaviors so I might get lucky with a third molt!

Ok, so my 3.5 inch B. Albopilosum has completely webbed up the opening to her hide. As it sits now, there is no where for her to get out. I'm positive she can just pull the webbing down, I'm not worried about her being trapped, I was just curious as to what this behavior means.

Yea, I moved real quick in front of his container, and he flipped back over. Then waited a minute and went right back to hanging upside-down

I don't have any idea whats going on with him, he's hanging upside-down by only his left set of legs, and his right set are moving back and forth, at first vigorously, now slowly. What the hell is this?!?! I took a bunch of pictures, but for some reason, my uploader won't work.

Ok, well I wont use anything for corralling other than a paintbrush from now on, the tongs are hard, and might break her fang if she strikes them enough.

Well, you know far more about T's than I do, but the way she struck at it was almost identical to when she strikes for food, she showed no interest in it until the strike, then when she struck, she immediately began feeling around it with her pedipalps and front set of legs. Well in any case...

So, my B. Albo struck at my tongs just now, she didn't take a threat posture first (she's incredibly tolerant of me, so much so that I would almost believe she likes me) I was wondering, is it because I tong feed her? She sees the tongs and thinks there is food on the end of it? I probably need...

I'm feeding them Dubia roach nymphs, I'm guessing the food is properly sized since i've never seen smaller nymphs. I'll just make sure they have enough water and keep an eye on them. And I always prekill.

My 2i H. macs have stopped eating, they haven't eaten since my last post about them being missing. A few weeks I'd say. They don't appear to be in pre-molt, but I'm not the most experienced T owner. I was wondering if there is any other reason why they wouldn't be eating other than pre-molt?

+1 to pnshmntMMA, also, they're stuck up and think they rule the world. I caught one stealing money from me once.
