basically feeding a spider a mouse is like a feast for them. in the wild they run the risk of being food for larger animals waiting out in the open hoping food to walk by. so coming across a bounty like that they have no need to be coming out and risking themself when they can live off what the...

that works as well, I just like putting burrowing species sling in bigger containers starting out and let them grow into the containers to reduce rehousing. especially since this species doesn't get that big to begin with

get a tall container add lots of substrate, I prefer peat moss, wet the substrate then add the spider.

Ok lets do this, we will start with my main burrowers Haplopelma lividum one of the few times ever given a threat display Haplopelma albostriatum Haplopelma vonwirthi this one made a crazy burrow that was basically an sideways U-shape Haplopelma hainanum one growing up...

I would say they are pretty hardy never loss a sling to either genus. their growth rate is mediumish it really depends on how often you feed them and how warm you keep them so you could get a so in a year you could go from .75 inches to maybe 2 inches give or take. as for re-wetting the...

haplopelmas don't diverge in color until they sexually mature so a female wont look like a female until it has matured.

hysterocrates love to dig and they never stop digging from your picture I would add alot more substrate

Chilobrachys dyscolus Blue Colour Form pics don't due the blue justice really and of course H. lividum

it doesn't show in the pic but their it also had burrow as well down below that was just its entrance ---------- Post added 09-30-2014 at 02:47 PM ---------- younger stage maturing into a male

yeah, i know I need to do another one but busy with school unfortunately so it might be a while

awesome webbers, medium-ish size so I go half and half on substrate to allow a decent burrow but to also give them room to web. like its been said they are asian species so higher humidty like you would with other asian species. they are slow growers. they are sexual dimorphic so you will know...

the answer to your question is yes and no. yes part in that all burrowing species will be waiting at the edge of their burrow or in this case at their lid waiting for prey to come by and snatch them up and continue doing this until they go into premolt. In wich case they will stay down below...

its going going to be hard to get an exact ID when dealing with the less uncommon Haplopelmas, but I would definitely go with von wirthi over it being a minax thats for sure.

i also ways forget these thing about coloration. some times I just like admiring the markings and coloration and forget why they really are design like that, like H. lividum are blue not for camouflage or mating its a warning to other animals that its highly venomous and should be left alone...

My males are much smaller than that compare to the females, look at the video to see they are two inches. I was shocked at first how Small they were, so if the females are being receptive like it sound like then go for it. Just make sure the males are indeed h. Albostriatum before you pair them

this happen to me once I was going to try and see if the eggs would still hatch, but she ended up snatching them up as well while doing the food dance

Honestly in this case it could be the substrate not damped enough They don't like to dig if it's not moist enough we are not talking soaking wet but damp

some more info would be helpful. how big is it? how long have you had it? are you sure you don't have a mature male? also pics of the T would he helpful as well to make sure its a haplopelma (people have gotten miss label Ts before)
