hmm MAybe its jus being friendly hehe.. appreciating its nice home n care? haha jus a thought. I'm still fairly new to tis hobby n dun intend on handling any Ts

My B. boehmei got her hairs onto me 2 weeks ago while I did some tank maintenance, it itched quite abit but after 2 baths, the itching became very minimal, in only very small areas n a few bumps here n there, but till today it hasn't totally worn off. Still the occasional itch and rash.

Gosh poor the Male!... well all for the family I guess.

Hmmm so if that happens all the time, do you guys clean out the water dish every day? and the cycle jus happens everyday. I read somewhere on another thread that his T would drink from the water dish, den poop in it, n probably dun like the sight or smell of the poo n therefore buries it...

Interesting speculations... well my Boehmei didn't do it for the first two months I got her. She'd leave the dish alone, which was rather close to its hide. N I saw it drinking from it once. The water levels dun fall so rapidly too. Nothing unusual. but what do you know... jus after I had...

thanx for the advice.. i'll change to a additive free substrate

<EDIT> I dun have the package anymore.. all i remembered was it was canadian 100% sphagnum peat moss, on the front of the packaging

Hmmm... YO dudes I was the one with the superworms problem... now that's fixed. But in the painstaking process of removing the worms... I also found lots of small green pellet like things in the substrate(definitely look man-made). What r those things?? I removed them anyway. Anyway...

I'd love to have an Emilia added to my collection, pity there's none in stock now and the one i saw at the store the other day got picked up first by someone else. Enjoy.;)

Haha tt's amusing to witness. Well I've got two sides of the deal. Sometimes I buy crickets that go into freeze mode, sometimes I get crickets that run n hop n hide, sometimes i get crickets that seem like they want the tarantula to eat them. I use my hands to get at the crickets though, I...

Yeah man. My B.boehmei does that kind of thing, interesting to look at heh.

Speaking of which whenever u have to do some major revamping to the T's home which requires the T to sit somewhere outside the tank till its done(like changing substrate or in my case.. digging out all the superworms that have burrowed inside the substrate(won't let tt happen again) the T...

MANx!!! ya I tried with a deep dish, but my T doesn't seem to want to eat it, or like u said, the superworm isn't detectable. My T's been pacing around all over the terrarium ground+walls taking short breaks in between, she only does tt when she's hungry so I naturally gave her a superworm to...

Haha wierd method??:p

I've recently begun to feed my T(B.Boehmei) superworms, cos the local pet store ran out of crickets. Problem is they burrow like mad once they hit the substrate, and i think there are 3 living inside the substrate already. I've resorted to putting the worms close to my T, but sometimes she lets...

I've seen my B.Boehmei blockade the entrance to its artificial burrow with substrate and webbing twice already. But it came out after a few days and ate normally. Well maybe they just want some real peace occasionally.

Yea my 3 yr old b.Boehmei paces back and forth around its home when its hungry, leaving trails of webs here and there. when I was back from a 1 1/2 weeks on a vacation, she looked close to an aboreal spider, lots of webbin in the tank, but not much compared to arboreals.

well I wish the feeder crickets i hav r like tt. I saw one hop away and froze 8" from my B.Boehmei when she went to investigate the cricket. Guess she wasn't hungry eh. the crickets also seem to like to get into the water dish... I feed my T superworms too, who burrow as fast as they can once...

haha alrite tt's fast. one more question, is it important for the water dish to be big enough to fit the tarantula? Cheers All.

seems like she ain't moulting at all, its turned around and around in her burrow twice from my last post i think, I put a cricket in front of its burrow and in 2 secs the tarantula pounced on it. For now its finished its meal and is content with sitting in her burrow again. Its normal for...
