    Psalmopoeus Cambridgei Dying

    Yeah, my GBB is only about two cm. He always hides and I rarely see him, which is what demoted him. He's pretty neat though. He made it into the top 5.

    Psalmopoeus Cambridgei Dying

    He Ate the Dead Cricket He ate the dead cricket last night! I dropped it in the top part of his web and he grabbed it. He will be fine. Thanks for the help guys! It's about 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the room where he is. It stays around that temperature year round. I don't have any good pictures...

    Psalmopoeus Cambridgei Dying

    I think he's better I think he's better; though, I can't really tell. He's back in his web. Like SpiderDad61's spider, he has a tornado dirt web. Can't really see in there, he has it lined with dirt. He did have his legs poking out of the bottom of the web, so they aren't scrunched up...

    Psalmopoeus Cambridgei Dying

    He's my favorite. This makes me so sad. He has a bowl of water in his tank now; I also sprayed the tank real well. I did it this morning. I hope by the time I get home he will be all better. I'll take out the live crickets when I get home and put in a dead cricket. I'll also get the substrate...

    Psalmopoeus Cambridgei Dying

    Hello, my Trinidad Chevron is dying. I had not fed him for a few weeks because he wouldn't eat and needed to molt. He molted a couple of weeks ago, but I still didn't feed him, because I wanted to make sure he could safely eat. Well, I needed to go out of town and left him without food because...

    Should I freeze him? DKS

    No, I buried him by a rose bush outside. My 3yr old niece helped me. Thought it would be a good lesson about things dying and all that good stuff. She liked him a lot.

    Distinguishing between ultimate molt and normal molt

    I'm actually not that new to the forum. I've been here longer than you have, although I haven't owned tarantulas as long as you have, haven't made as many posts as you have, and am not as knowledgeable as you are about tarantulas. I searched the forum for an answer and did not find one. I didn't...

    Distinguishing between ultimate molt and normal molt

    Oh, ok, I knew about the male but I had no idea the females kept molting. Thanks!

    Sick G. rosea seeking humidity.

    I had an old MM G. rosea do the same thing recently. He did just what you described. He would go nuts and be twitchy anytime he was disturbed. He had just eaten before his symptoms began, too. At first I thought he was poisoned by some ant killer my brother put in and around the house, but none...

    Distinguishing between ultimate molt and normal molt

    How can you tell when a tarantula has molted for the final time?

    Another noobie Avic thread...

    I think she's fine. She might end up putting a web up there. Like people said, just give it some time.

    Annoying taboos that come with keeping tarantulas.

    To answer the OP's original question, I, like DamonM have never hid my hobby either. I'm quite proud of all my T's. :biggrin:

    What do people own?? (List yours here!)

    I still don't understand how the decimal numbers are used, like 1.0.3 and 0.0.4. [Edit] Never mind, I figured it out. Anyway I have: Tarantulas: 0.0.1 Purple Pinktoe Tarantula (Avicularia purpurea) 0.0.1 Martinique Pinktoe/Antilles pinktoe (Avicularia versicolor) 0.1.0Mexican Redknee...

    Annoying taboos that come with keeping tarantulas.

    The dating scene I hate that it's difficult to find a guy who isn't freaked out by T's. Really hard to find one who wants to be my boyfriend after finding out I have spiders as pets. Needless to say, I don't have one. I'm 23, single, and haven't found a single person who likes spiders. Sad. No...

    How to Handle Baboon Tarantulas

    Haha, well my baboons didn't kill me. They all made it safe into their containers, although the OBT and a couple of the others tried to escape when I was transferring them. Oh, BTW, they were all spiderlings.

    How to Handle Baboon Tarantulas

    ....And NO I do not mean handling with my hands, taking them out and playing with them. I mean, how do you deal with them? I.e. Keep them from escaping and biting at lightning fast speeds. What is the best type of container to keep them in so they don't escape when you open it to feed them or...

    My scorpionling not eating

    Well here's an update: I moved him close to a ceramic heater and started feeding him tiny pin head crickets (although he had no problem with the first bigger one I gave him when I first got him.) I think he ate a cricket the night before last because there is only one tiny one left in his...

    Securing (child and immature adult-proofing) Tarantula/scorpion cages. Locks?

    I have a three year old niece who loves looking at my tarantulas and lives half the time at my place. I usually keep the door to my room closed, as it has no lock. This was working real well; but, lately, when I come home from work, I find the door to my room open. This is because I...

    My scorpionling not eating

    Thanks for all the replies. I bought new smaller pinhead crickets and put two in its cage yesterday. I'm not for sure, but I think it might have eaten one this morning. I saw the cricket crawl in the scorplings lair and didn't see it come back out. I didn't lift up the rock to see if it ate the...
