I've yet to see any immature male L. violaceopes specimens to turn green before maturation tbh (I've got eight immatures atm).
for example this is a 4" DLS confirmed male:
This is a gross oversimplification.
First of all tarantula venom does contain proteins (so do their urticating hairs btw) as well as peptides, amino acids and biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, enzymes, polyamines, free acids (like citrate, lactic acid, ATP), inorganic ions and salts...
I love Lampropelma/Cyriopagopus/Phormingochilus males.
I guess it's just the dissapointment of not getting a female. Cause let's be honest, 99% of people will buy one because they want a purple/blue T.
Would be nice to see some actual data on this.
Most sexually reproducing organisms have a male/female birth ratio which is close to 50/50. So I thought it fair to assume this is also the case in tarantulas.
Yes, about 105 males compared to 100 females (a highly debatable number). Which again...
If you buy 3 slings statistically your chances of getting at least one female are 87,5%. 93,75% if you get 4 and 96,875% if you get 5. That's quite a lot better than just 50/50.
1.5 months? that's nothing for a dubia :) had one live with a B. emilia for over 3 months. sat in the same spot for the whole time. even heard stories of dubias surviving for 6 months

^^ I completely agree with the above and so never handle mine accept when absolutely necessary (for example a sick or dieing T that doesn't have the ability to move by itself anymore)
If it's still eating I'd say go ahead and rehouse if you want. When I know one of my Ts is in premolt I will wait until it has molted and starts eating again.
Talking about spitting spiders. I actually own a Scytodes thoracica :) They're quite easy to find in my house. Absolutely love them. Very unique spiders.
