it is just as possible that he is close to molting as it is you just spooked him with the cricket. that is a big bare butt so i wouldnt be surprised if a molt is around the corner. most my NW terrestrials usually get the bare spot then it dulls before hand. actually caught my smithi molting...

nice setup! cant wait to see what you post after a few months of experimentation. looking good already!

that was a great vid. thanks for the share! the music made it all the more dramatic!

the back story: I just recently renovated my basement. it is an older house and it had a room separated from the main area for the fuel oil tank. after too many hours of cutting and siphoning fuel i managed to clear it out. the room is 5' by 8'. three walls are concrete block with a small window...

i apologize to the mods, this should have gone some where else so please move it. here is an included pic to show everyone exactly what im talking about.

a buddy of mine purchased some of these months ago from (i believe) gregsexoticinverts . he had them for a few months and never saw a nymph. just a few weeks ago he gave me 6 of them to use as feeders for my larger T's. i fed off all but 2 in the last few weeks. tonight i went to grab one to...

thanks for the vid storm. anything i can find on youtube to pass the time in the office is greatly appreciated.

i had always been interested but, about 10 years ago on a whim i decided to buy a G. rosea while visiting a local pet shop. It was more of a display pet than anything else, and it worked out great with my lifestyle at the time. i was working on the road doing construction and didnt make it home...

i just wouldnt be concerned (i know it's difficult). sounds like the conditions are right. just wait it out. even though i havnt seen the one sling in 3 weeks i still toss in a maimed cricket every week and take it out the next day. i have noticed as my other slings have gotten larger they have...

i have an lp sling that i havnt seen in about 3 weeks. doesnt seem uncommon to me at all. my adult lp usually webs up the entrance to her hide just before a molt.

my bad. in any case still a bad idea imo. an type of paper product is just a bad idea.

do not use cardboard. bad idea. go to walmart or target or wherever and buy a plastic container. it will save you the headache of chasing a T through your house some morning before work. lol

if you really have to rehouse it, i would wait a few more days myself. i had an lp sling that needed rehousing. it was also burrowed pretty deep in its enclosure. i just carefully moved substrate around until it "popped out". seems happy in its new home 1 week later.

any update? i have been silently following the drama.

nice pic. my female l.p is also named Beatrice. i named her after Dantes love interest in the divine comedy.

you could get a piece of acrylic cut it to size then cut the bottom 6 inches or so off. secure that to the container then throw some hinges on it. just a thought.

awesome shot!

thanks man. my list has gotten a little shorter this week. i also got a b. smithi sling and tomorrow im going to pick up an h. mac. its been a good week!

received my order from Jamiestarantulas this morning. i usually have everything shipped to my office so there is never a chance of missing anything. This guy here came out swinging. as soon as i got the paper towel out from the vial he took off. i thought ahead and had my catch cup and a piece...

all that it really amounts to is taking the ocular lens from the binoculars and securing it over the camera lens somehow. i made a mount for the lens using a broken toy i stole from my kids.
