Mine gets this way about this time of year. Eventually she digs a hole or settles in to her hide and molts. I usually don't see her November through January. Her mood also changes about a month before she isolates herself, so I usually attribute the mood change with the onset of pre-molt. Is...

It all depends on her. Mine likes to dig a hole and sit in it for around 3 months before coming out all fresh and pretty. Needless to say her tank is very boring November-January.

I'd also say shes getting ready to molt. They aren't too fragile, but they aren't the most sturdy things either. Once they dry out they are pretty crispy but can be removed fairly successfully, unless your rosie is anything like mine and feels the need to obliterate her molt once she hardens up...

With this last molt it's around 8 cm DLS. Previous molt looked male but it was in rough shape. This one looks female to me but I'd love for someone more experienced to weigh in. I'll keep my fingers crossed... Thanks!

There's a running joke in the hobby here that Tarantulas could survive off Gatorade... I personally use tap water though.

Sounds like the humidity is alright to me. If it is webbing and eating and doing typical GBB things and not sitting at the bottom of it's webbing in the uncomfortable position, it is in good shape. For my sling I just provide misting on one corner of the deli cup once a week and feed it once a...

Android user here: Sounds like a great app and I wish I could take advantage of it, but I understand how app development works and I understand the limitations of small development. Maybe one day! As far as suggestions go for the future, maybe a comprehensive molt table/timeline so you can...

Pretty sure we oughta pool some money together to resurrect that walking cactus. I mean, it would be even less maintenance than tarantulas. Plus it's a cactus. That walks.

I love both species, but probably like the look of the auratum a little more. I plan on owning both soon, but for now I just have the smithi due to the huge price difference. I managed to get my smithi sling for $45 and considered myself lucky. Those aratum are pricy! If you have the extra cash...

I remember a little while back there was a thread about a new blue Lasiodora species that some folks had heard about. Oh look I found it http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?146920-blue-lasiodora&highlight=blue+Lasiodora I think this may be the species people were discussing but it...

Unless I missed it somewhere, the height of the enclosure was never reported. Not taking the other issues into consideration, a broken abdomen could have resulted from a bad fall, especially if it seemed to have issues holding on to surfaces and having too much room to climb. Posting pics of the...

I'd go for a terrestrial since you're already getting an arboreal. The GBB and B. smithi are both excellent choices so I recommend both! If you stay in this hobby for any length of time I'm sure you'll end up with both at some point so just research them a bit and pick from there based on...

I can't speak for the Nhandu Chromatus, but I ordered some slings back in January and received them, a G. rosea included, with no problems. Now, 5 months removed, they've all molted 2-3 times with the exception of the G. rosea, which has yet to molt at all in my care. You're in for the long haul...

B. lateralis are the lobster roaches, correct? Those seemed almost a better choice due to the fact that they climb walls so feeding arboreals is a bit easier and they don't burrow as far as I know, but that is all secondary information I've picked up on and may well be wrong. Are they just as...

I'm fairly certain if you ask anyone who is seriously involved in the aquatics hobby or reptile hobby they would consider themselves a hobbyist in that respective field. And I'm also certain that they take just as much pride and love their critters just as much as we do. Sure, you could...

In my brief extent with Dubias I grew to dislike them quite a bit. They always seemed to dig in the substrate instead of presenting themselves to my T's and if the T did get to them, they often would lay still and the T would lose interest. I eventually gave up and went to crickets for my...

Haven't left a report in a while... Most of the slings I acquired back in January have molted one to two times since my last report. Most were around half an inch DLP and now they are all pushing one inch with the exception of my B. boehmei who is just a slow grower and my half inch rosie sling...

In my experiences in asking for any type of general information here or in other places, I have found that instead of just asking questions it is usually a good idea to bring in specifics of what you already found but were unclear on so you end up asking for clarification as opposed to asking...
