Just order some food source from online, mealworms are always good as they're easily bred and feed a wide range of sizes.

Here's my girl a week post molt.

Take it on a leash? Dog sized? You will be the first meal when attempting to put a leash on it ...

You've only had it a week.... Is it CB or WC? If WC they generally take a lot more time to adjust. It's not uncommon for then to take a month or so to start burrowing, just leave it in an undisturbed area and leave it be.

@chrisxxl dunno bout the rest of Europe but in the UK of the three you listed, I believe only Sicarius can be obtained without a DWA license, if you research into the seller rather than berate them, I'm sure the vast majority will use the proper channels of sale. I've seen many people enquire...

Steatoda spiderlings? Once they're independent they will take on prey larger than themselves. Fruit flies will be fine.

S. grossa are pretty tolerant of one another anyway in my experience, wether from the same brood or not. Could try tolerance of one another from multiple egg sacks as the female will just produce a sack after pretty much every meal now. If you wanna do some type of intelligence test... Try...

My male matured around 2.5" and showed no indication of the stout legs forming. So I'd expect the females to be showing the stout back legs by that size, I ended up purchasing an AF so can't really help.

E. trunculentus are pretty green depending where they're at in their molt phase.

Nope, I switched to B. lats from dubia due to none of my Ts really eating the dubia. All will readily take B. lats, plus baby roaches are small enough for tiny slings too. Need to have a slightly humid environment for the oothecaes to hatch properly, breed like rabbits. Also devour food a lot...

Julie, are you still interested in these? Or have you located some? A female I mated up a while back, has had a sack hatch out (wasn't aware she had even laid the sack lol) so I got a few slings I can send you if you like? Probably rehouse the rest in my garden.

I got my MF in a medium KK, due to their fondness of wandering and altering their surroundings. Your substrate looks far to low and difficult to burrow in. Wouldn't waste money on acrylic enclosures, try finding a decent sized RUB (really useful box).

Good to hear, good luck with it in the future.

Heavy webbers, give a setup with a lot of anchor points. Fast moving, defensive.... I think I'm right in saying these have pretty significant venom in comparison to others from the genus so avoid getting tagged if you can. Few people in this section keep them, sure they'll chime in with better...

My E. pachypus I raised for sling to MM never displayed any stout legs like the female, he matured around 2.5" his last molt was a large jump in size, what size to females start showing the stout legs? I purchased mine as an adult so didn't get to watch the growth.

Yea, got a lot housed up around my workplace, just scoop up the ones I see relocating when on night shift.

Once established in the setup, pretty much a web tube with legs that makes fast burst lunges at prey. But they're very cool to keep, aggresive feeders, some ain't afraid to defend themselves, others are very skittish. Fairly slow growing, but pretty long lived for a true spider, plus the...

Yea, what's up?

Threads like these are the kinda reason the hobby is full of myths or people throwing around DKS as a diagnosis for a tarantula showing dehydration signs.... If you don't have helpful information on the topic or any insight don't bother chiming in, newbies see a thread about a tarantula hosting...

It's an E. pachypus. ---------- Post added 03-23-2015 at 09:36 AM ---------- Got a pic of the other one? How big is it, could possibly be E. constrictus I believe they lack the "stout legs".
