Hey Coldblood, its been a while- I wish it was under better circumstances. I guess a novice is a novice- I always spray about 1/4 of the enclosure of all my T's before I go an never had a problem until now. Although it does't make a huge difference that wasn't dried condensation in the photo, it...

That the picture after I set her up- It doesn't look like there is water in there but there is an it is in contact with her fangs/mouth. I should have taken a photo of how I found her but I panicked. she was about 2 inches away from her water bowl facing away from it (actually in the exact...

Hey guys I know I vanished from these forums but I never stopped keeping T's- I don't really have any good excuses for my absence and I also can't guarantee I'm going to be back on here with any regularity but I will try! Last week my C.cyaneopubescens molted and she came out great! Also I...

Thanks for the fast replies guys No smell or anything yet, I think she tried to molt yesterday and has been stuck like that since. I'll put her in the freezer just to make sure. I know they can't feel pain or emotions but I feel like it would make them uncomfortable at the very least.

Hi everyone I just came home to check on my T's and found one of my G.roseain a very typical dead T pose, It grew back a leg it lost a while back and upon closer inspection the abdomen appeared damp so I lifted it up slightly and there seems to be a hole near the vent area (not even going to...

Maybe I have a dumb one then.... Mine just happily sits there for the most part, sometimes bolts but never out of the bin... Just makes a mad dash for his Hidey-Hole. He runs out of his burrow faster then any other T i keep only at feeding time though, and then its right back down the burrow.

I know this is a controversial topic and the T knows better than I do but how long do you wait before you go digging? I mean at some point you have to make sure that they are even still in there and I was just wondering how long you give them (I'm expecting different amounts of time for species...

B.vagans= Squishy (first time seeing a T molt) C.fasciatum= Tigger (take a guess :biggrin:) C.marshalli= Marshall C.cyaneopubescens= Indigo B.smithi= Zippo (like the lighters...) B.albiceps= Pinky H.incei= Stardust E.murinus= Femur H. sp Large= Patches Scolopendra...

It's a rose hair (G.porteri) and they usually fast for weeks or months. Nobody can sex that spider with this picture, you will need to take a clear picture of the opening where the abdomen meets the carapace or you can wait for a molt and take a picture of the area between the first set of book...

When tarantulas are kept warmer there metabolism increase as well as there growth rates (kinda go hand in hand). Its understandable that when things cool down animals tend to slow down. As for it being detrimental i have no clue. I know its not for north american species as they are subjected to...

I think you have made a classic mistake, based by the off gold medal color of the carapace this is clearly referring to Grammastola porteriphelps. roseaspitz might make it half way across the atlantic but porteriphelps made it to Africa by crossing the pacific and indian oceans. Hope that...

It looks female but you need to flip it over and take a picture for confirmation.

I think male but you took the picture of the wrong part :P In the abdomen between the first set of book lungs (those white things) is what we need to see. Regards James

I have had no problems with vials, I just make up the eco earth and squeeze it as hard as I can and fill the vial about half way. Only ventilation is a small hole in the center of the lid, However I do open the vial every 2 days to check in and recirculate. As soon as they are big enough they go...

My C.fasciatum just molted! he has been at the bottom of of his vile for almost a month know completely sealed off. Hopefully he will come out soon!

Its his birthday- Or at least a celebration of his growth and proof that your hard work has all payed off! Pop the champagne on molt 10,000 I would celebrate it all the same!

congrats on the girl!

def female!

I don't handle my Ts and have no real urge to... There are times however when I am held by my tarantula that is a little different. My A.versicolor almost always finds away to get on to me and go for a stroll when I am doing any cage maintenance. Once im done ill begin the everlasting battle of...
