He is about 7'', the abdomen is pretty big, just a bit larger than the carapace. It's also been quite a while since I last fed it. About a week ago, I threw in a locust with him, but he didn't eat it. Last night, I noticed that his abdomen was black and shiny when he got out to drink water.
What about the humidity? I hear that 80% is recommended.
I have seen Stan's website on humidity, that it isn't very important to most species, but I also keep hearing that T. blondi does need high humidity. Anyone care to shed some light on this?
I just noticed that the abdomen of my Theraphosa blondi is getting black. I'm going on vacation in ten days, and I don't think it'll molt before then. Would it be safe to just leave it and let it molt? I heard that they have a high probablity of having molt problems. I'll be away for about three...
I personally would never do that. If my T wants to die, it will have to die on it's own, I won't help it to die. There is always a tiny chance even in the worst case scenario for it not to die. I will grab that chance and see how it turns out. You never know...
Lol, I first looked at the video thinking it was real, comparing it with the pictures of the webs above. Then it started to seem suspicious, and when there was a piece of paper on the spider's web, I burst out in laughter.
It's not about the Avicularia, it's about another tiny little spider which lives WITH the Avicularia. It is too tiny to catch, should it escape from the first capture attempt.
