    Borneo Black = Nigerrimum.

    I read many texts about L nigerrimum being Borneo Black. But yet again I see them advertised as separate species. Anyone got insight?

    Thank you very much. My worries came from the fact that what she eats simply goes away and she gains no weight.

    abdominal absces , some weird details

    Hello Folks. My Singapore Blue molted like one-two months ago (6", started to shw some blue) and was totally fine until last week. She was very thin so I fed her a small goliath worm, which she ate enthusiatically. However, two days later she was thin again, but this time her abdomen looked...

    Should have told you: TC are friends but they already have males for their GBB. They were the first I though about.

    ...I am stuck in Canada, where the demographic (both in the hobby and overall) is a mere fraction of that in the USA and I couldn't find a mate for him. I wonder if there was a possibility to ship him South of the border if it's to, let say' help in a breeding program or any non-profit...

    Safest tarantula?

    Not to anthropomorphize, but put yourself in its (8) shoes. Would you like it if Godzilla lifted you and swung you 300ft in the air. Also, they don't get ''affection'' from their mom so they can't adapt later in life to receive it from another species. They are stuck in the mode '' when...

    Musicians & Ts

    Played grindcore and black metal, tuned to low B, in the same room. No adverse effect and still fine over years. They get used to vibrations, like arboreals on a tree shaken by the wind.

    Do you have ''Bad Luck'' species?

    Thank you very much, it gives a better perspective on the situation... There are Ts that were supposed to survive the armaggedon and died on me, others from the ''you are Lucky if this thing gets over 1 inche LS'' type still thrive. I tough I would give up on those genuses but will give a last...

    Do you have ''Bad Luck'' species?

    Hello. In case you find the title a bit obscure, simply... Is there a species that keeps dying on you while you bring many other to adulthood with no problems? More precisely : You keep loosing a species that have the reputation to be hardy and indestructible, while you succeed with supposedly...

    Question time! Share with me about the people who hate your love of invertabrates.

    Not very precise on the point , but I saw a woman yell at her daughter because she didn't express fear upon seeing T and reptiles. Like, a real woman MUST crawl up a table upon seeing a mouse or else she is a lesbian or a butch. Reading psycho stuff, I figured out that since men's life are far...

    Understanding the fullness/hunger level by looking at the abdomen for slings

    Normally keeping the abdominal volume about 150% of that of the prosoma will do. If your T starts looking like a Smart trailling a huge camping car, better give only water for a while
