    Good and bad first post

    gezz. everyone was so quick to jump on him. Ive only been a T keeper for about 2 years and i have a strimi and a p.metallica.

    T. blondi temper

    t.strimi was my first T. I jumped in guns blazing. It was about 3" when i got it. I think it was wc. Of all my T's he wasnt even the one i feared the most. Sure it is defensive and big. But my OBT is what scared the jesus out of me. That said my strimi is healthy and over 8" now.

    Easiest tarantula to breed?

    I am not speaking from any experience but i would bet the LP is near the top, not only because of breeding but because of how cheap they are and how easy it can be to get several females if you buy a bunch.

    the little tiny white guys were probably springtails which are a positive prescience.

    Abdomen Ruptured?!

    Just by overeating? No. But they will be more susceptible to a rupture from a fall and such if it is over stuffed.

    Everyone knows the T would win because it would just flip the car over and spin it in its web.

    Dubia digging question

    I prekill all my dubias. Just squish the head and lay it on its back. It will keep kicking its feet but wont be able to run around. Sometimes they will flip back over but usually they are food before that.

    Terrestrial thinks she is Arboreal

    The reason I brought up the lid is a mesh top can cause the spiders legs to get stuck when ti climbs ont he top and sets it up to fall right on its back. I didnt think it wa sbad for the rwasons he mentioned, only the ones I just mentioned.

    Terrestrial thinks she is Arboreal

    I would get rid of the mesh top too. Get some plexi glass and drill holes.

    Ethical?

    You need to lure him out Jurassic park style. Here is what you do. Take a roach. Tie some string around his neck. Tie that string to half a chop stick or a pop-sickle stick. Place the stick in the ground in-front of his hide. Set up a camera or sit and wait. Here is a diagram.

    crickets & roaches

    I prekill all of my dubias except for my 8" stirimi for that very reason. They all like prekilled food so its not a problem.

    My t.stirmi came out for a rare stroll.

    It came out for a rare stroll so i took advantage. didnt risk taking the top off for better shots because he/she always runs inside at first vibration. So I enjoyed the 15 minutes of watching that i got. Ignore her cyst scab. It used to be about 4x bigger but has been healing every molt. Hoping...
