i just soaked her, and she's a female! http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8877/photo2012030540526pm.jpg thanks! :)

so, i was just about to go to sleep when i heard a thump. and this is what i found!! hehe! sorry if i annoy anyone from too much updating.. hehe. just really excited!! :) ill take a pic again tom morning (if there's a really big change or something.. :P) EDIT: so.. she's done molting...

she's a slowpoke, so im not holding my breath at all. hahaa! but why is your T so inactive? like, not even eating. G roses are so weird.. haha!

just wanted to update people. :) i just noticed there's a bit of webbing. like the start of a "web mat" it should be a matter of days, i think.. ? :)

I think it's a female, though. Besides the fact that the guy at the pet store saying it is, I checked her underside and there was this white curvy line between its first pair of book lungs. (Not really sure about all the terms.. hehe..)

Those links were really helpful! Thanks! :) Though I have read the care and husbandry before, I think it was before it's update, so I did get to read some new stuff. I also bought The Tarantula Keeper's Guide. So, that was really helpful in determining if it was in pre-molt or not.. I bought...

Tell me about it... Crickets are noisy and they smell; Worms dig under the substrate.. Why didn't they ban the crix instead?... (I've read, though, that they're (Canada) afraid that they might escape into the wild, populate, become too many, then become pests..:()

Can't wait for her to actually molt; I wanna see her do it. Is there, like, an average length of how long it takes for a rosea to stay in pre-molt? Compared to roses, they are more active, though.. right? ...Oh, sorry about the little guy.. :(

Well, mine hasn't even touched a piece of food at all since I've gotten her.. I've heard that roses really are "pet rocks". Hhaha! That's why I'm getting a B vagans this weekend. I think they're better with food and are a bit more "move-y" haha!

Last week, she did go into her hide and close it off. She just came out a few days ago. I'll just leave her alone, and hope I catch her in the act. Haha! Thanks again!! :)

I give her fresh water everyday and overfill it once a week.. Is that right? Yeah, she does; it's just a half of a coconut shell, though. And I sort of placed it to look like a real burrow.. (like, I put it lower than the top of her substrate and covered it with the substrate)..

Roaches are the way to go, too, I believe.. The problem is B dubias are illegal here in Canada (that sucks so much..).... And I believe in some other countries, as well...

Yey! haha! Though I'm not sure if I should be excited or scared.. I mean I've read that there could be a lot of problems during a molt.. Can't wait, though! :) And should I make a part of the substrate sort of flat so that she'll have a "bed", sorta? Now that I think about it, I used to keep...

hey, I've had my G rosea for three weeks now, and she still hasn't eaten.. I know G roses are known for fasting suddenly, but I think she's in pre-molt. I'm not sure though.. and I know there are threads and other stuff for this, but I'm just not sure.. Here are some pics...

this! this is what i was asking/looking for! haha! thanks, chris! :) well, i think she's not in pre-molt, cause last time i checked her, i can sorta see the black line thing (which i'm guessing is the heart?) in the middle and some pink-ish color around it. i'd take a picture, but she locked...

I'm pretty sure she has a bald spot, cause there's a patch of her abdomen where i can see her skin and is surrounded by hairs.

That's just it, I think she has a bald spot, but I don't know if the skin I'm seeing is dark enough for me to consider her to be in pre-molt..

Hey, Everyone keeps saying that when a T is in pre-molt, its abdomen is "darker".. Well, the thing is, I really can't tell if it's "darker" or not, since I have no other Ts for comparison. My T right now is my first and only one. So, i was wondering if anyone has a pic comparing a...
