    Silliest T advice you've ever heard at a pet store

    "be sure to put a sponge in the water dish so the T doesn't drown." i looked at the gal and said "you're serious" she replied she was and looked so sincere that i couldn't help but laugh. i told her i didn't have a 'pool' of water in the tank and i was certain my T would be fine. she...

    G rosea: Burst abdomen

    That was the 'blood'. Ts don't have red blood like we do, in fact its not even called blood, hemo-something or other.

    Are you as bothered about this as much as I am

    i believe if you read closely, takenlate was simply trying to see if the female would accept the male, which i think he proved. scroll to the top of the thread.

    Caring for a bunch of T's

    i second that! :clap: a T in the wild will eat at any opportunity because it doesn't know when the next meal will happen to pass by. a captive T doesn't know the difference. stick to the one or two crix a week rule and remove anything that isn't eaten in 24 hours.

    Ants in the Spider Habitats

    ants are VERY bad for Ts. one ant ok, even two ok but those critters will team up and take down a T heck! in africa there is a breed that will take down a goat :eek: no kidding glad you got the problem under control, i would suggest ant traps all around the room, might help a recurrence...

    I think I may have an emergency.

    Good Luck start close to the tank/cage and be meticulous about your search and get rid of the cat for a few days, the cat will surely kill the T and possibly eat it. if so, the cat will get sick and possibly die. not a good scenario for either pet. :eek: it may eventually turn up on its...

    Hyster gigas doesn't put on weight?

    don't want to feed too much either :shame: you may want to cut back a bit a fat over fed T can injure themselves more easily and tends to have a shorter life span

    presentations

    i give 'mini presentations' where i work cause i have a T by my desk. i always cover the basics: yes all Ts have the potential to bite however this breed (g rosea) is more docile :) yes Ts have venom but not enough to kill a human :wicked: yes i will handle them but only if it is a calm...

    Signs of molting?

    there is more to look for than a dark patch (which is normally on the abdomen). loss of appetite, like not eating for weeks after normally eating one or two crix a week and look for a 'molt mat', the T will literally spin a 'web bed' to lay on you might also try using the search feature...

    a. seemani not moving, eating.

    yikes! well you already know don't feed it anymore but i think it looks REALLY stressed out. i suggest covering the enclosure with a towel to help keep it dark and quiet and maybe the T will relax. keep the water dish full but try not to disturb the poor thing for a few weeks. OH - and...

    sick tarantula??

    Back to Woolywoo! i had a rosie 'fast' for 57 days and then it only ate two crix every couple of weeks. maybe it has a tummy ache :rolleyes: i haven't seen many Ts drink but they do - just not when you are watching :p PS - T&C it sounds like your T is indeed old and dying, so sorry

    Whats the biggest or most crickets you've seen your T take?

    Twelve the first T i ever had ( b smithi) would attack and consume 12 crix in a setting, keep all of them in his mouth and leave not a trace anywhere - and he would do that about once a week! :eek: (this was before i was educated about eating habits) i swear it looked like a crix pin...
