Hi everyone, I haven't posted on this forum in a very long time. Some of you might recognise me from a while back when I used to be a lot more active. This post is more for me than anyone else, to give me closure. Even now it still hurts but I am also grateful for so many things. Please...

@FrDoc I've got her in a 50X30X30 tall acrylic enclosure, it was a bit overkill when she was smaller but it's quite suitable for her now.

Gorgeous female I’ve had for about 5 years, enormous

These two species have similar coloration, I’m wondering which coloration do you prefer? Discussions on which species as a whole you prefer are also welcome. I have a C. albostriatus sling and really love the pattern it’s already showing. They’re crazy fast too. Ephebopus murinus <Image...

Don’t worry about your tarantula refusing food, it will eat when it is hungry. If the abdomen is getting very small (let’s say around half the size of the carapace) and they are still not eating then that may be cause for concern. For hamorii it’s normal to not eat for long periods of time. I...

I recommend you move the T to a smaller enclosure. As others have said: 1. It’s really huge for a 3” parahybana 2. The mesh lid is not a good idea, I used one of these once for one of my B hamoriis and she got her fangs stuck in them. Thankfully I managed to get her free. She looks well fed...

Very informative, thank you everyone! Especially Grym Reaper I also thought I had 2 G rosea for years to find out I had porteri the whole time, I’m really behind on my classifications, keep using haplopelma for some of my cyriopagopus as well *facepalm*

Thanks everyone =)

@Ungoliant No they are different spiders, I though they were B. smithis but seems they are are hamorii. I’ve raised the one above from 2l for 8 years and the one you posted I got a couple of years ago mature

Thanks =)

Do I have a hamorii or smithi here? Raised her from a sling for 8 years, 5.5” now, last moulted about a year ago

Do I have a hamorii or a smithi here? Moulted two months ago, 6”

Thanks for the input everyone, I’ll try the ID section. I also found a great video describing the difference between smithi and hamorii and from what you’ve all said and that video indicated it seems I have two hamoriis.

The faded one moulted two months ago, the vibrant one so long ago I can’t remember

Hey guys, I realised today that my two hamoriis look a bit different to each other, different shade of markings. Are they the same species? I’m not so versed with brachypelma, I’m more of an OW collector. They’re both 5.5-6” female, first one is a little bigger

I already live in Asia and can buy many species of AF Chilobrachys and Cyriopagopus for about $20 so I’m fine where I am =P

I see where you’re coming from and people probably could lay off a bit but I think (and I feel this way too) experienced keepers get frustrated having to give the same advice over and over again. I know not everyone is good at researching and they doubt the info they’ve found but after a while...

I purchased a Euathlus sp. red (can’t remember the new name) years ago as a mature female and it turned out to be male and hooked out three days after I received it. I got half the money back but still, that was pretty disappointing

I’ve never had a tappie before but I can tell you first hand that S. calceatum make little wormholes to instantly transport from one place to another

I’ve always wanted to have a T blondi but don’t have the space or money for it, I’ve got two LPs though so close enough lol Would also love to have an S calceatum again but I have a toddler now so that will need to wait until the far future
