it is a bad picture but I think it is a boy

most def. a female

i prefer to keep a space heater in the room they are kept in at set it at around 72 F so the whole room has an even temp and you don't have to mess with bulbs baking them or heating pads getting too hot either. Mine seem fine in just a well temped room.

I only have 3 T's and I like it a bit warmer in my room (also their room) than the rest of the house anyways. I have a small space heater that keeps my room between 72-74 F and I also have a cool mist humidifier that I run at night (mostly for me but I don't think it hurts them one bit either)...

the substrate is damp because it is 50/50 mix of coconut husk fiber and jungle mix so it is already damp coming out of the bag, it will dry up in a few days though, but thanks for the concern! :)

well the only reason I was concerned was because the rosies at the pet store like their hides. I mean, they are out a lot too, but you can see they web in them. (for the record, this particular pet store's T's are being manged by an experienced T/invert collector so I know they are healthy)

would she not be a mature female with a 5" leg span? There are not tibial hooks nor does she possess "boxing gloves" on the ends of her palps. I'm 9.9% sure. I mean take one look at her and tell me she's not a she.

I know definitely that she is a she. there was never any question of that as soon as my receptionist brought her in - I also know that she is mature. That was never an issue. Topic - HER behavior.

What breed What kind was this http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h204/xhexdx/Spider%20stuff/Picture079.jpg one? I think he/she is quite beautiful! :love:

the substrate to ceiling height is about 4.5" but I am going to add more substrate as soon as I head out to the pet store later this week to raise that. I dunno, she just seems to act a bit "eccentric" compared to my b. smithi and a. avicularia who pretty much do nothing. OH and the substrate is...

it depends on what type of T that you have. If you have one that needs high humidity then moisten it and mix it in the substrate. If you have more of a desert/scrub dweller then dry it out and just arrange it on top of the substrate/hide/decor as you wish.

I just acquired an adult female G. rosea from a co-worker who had her for a few years and didn't really know a whole lot about caring for a tarantula (long story). When I got her, the enclosure had mold in the water dish, remnants of food/molting, A FENCE LIZARD LIVING WITH IT, and no hide for...

Pictures from Punkin's molt! She is a she... right?

I am new to the T world. I bought a immature B. smithi in September, and I noticed Thanksgiving her abdomen was darkening and she refused to eat. As I type she is on her back in her burrow and I'm not sure how long she's been like that as I just got home from work. I am super excited/nervous...

Face Rash Not being a Doc or seeing a picture, I can tell you from personal experience that the "facial rash" might just be broken capillaries from vomiting. I had that happen to me all around my face (especially my eyes) when I had a very violent stomach bug (no pun intended). So if they...

My AVIC Problem I too, recently acquired a B. dubia colony but my adult female Avic. won't accept a dubia from the tongs. She usually turns her nose up to the tongs anyhow but occationally will take a cricket. The only problem is that I can throw a cricket in there and it will move and...

Some of you a LUCKY, all I can find on my craigslist are a bunch of depressing posts of people selling, giving, or trading off sadly unwanted pets. And ones that are clearly ill-cared for ... I mean, common tell me WHAT the HECK is a "rosy-footed tarantula" I was unaware that tarantulas even...

I used visit the local pet store quite often and the reptile room also houses inverts (usually just Rosies) but I had been becoming ever interest in entomology especially the anatomy of spiders. I thought "wouldn't it be fun to have a big hairy spider for the shock value" esp. because my...
