    Weighing my rosea

    Honestly did not expect her to comply to being weighed being a girl and all. But regardless my almost 2 year old rosea weighs 6.6 grams. Started as fun and got something interesting so I just had to share.

    Help! My OBT Escaped!

    Be vigilante and equip everyone in the house with a catch cup. Eventually you will see him but in the mean time clean clean clean the fewer spots to hide the better. Also get into the habit of checking your shoes a bite on your toe in the morning is a guaranteed bad rest of the week. On the...

    Pelinobius muticus care

    Deep substrate in an enclosure big enough for a 8-10" Hissing rusty-brown Tarantula. At 1.5" I still have mine in a short deli cup 75% filled with eco earth. Next rehouse will be in a small KK. Keep them dry but offer water, no need for a hide they will make a labyrinth of tunnels. Hope it...

    P. Metallica Health Question

    A good thing to do sence you WILL have to open the tank is rattle it a little bit to get your T to go in hiding mode so long as you dont get to close he, she wont move until the "danger" has passed.

    Whats the coolest thing your T's do?

    I like how my King Baboon digs her burrow and is either expanding or collapsing tunnels. Always something new when i get home from work.

    Question for tarantula keepers in colder climates.

    G. rosea are from the atacoma desert forgive me if its spelled wrong. Any way it gets to above 100° F during the day and freezing at night. I wouldnt worry about your rosea too much. Stan Shultz` golden rule is if your comfortable in a t shirt so are your Ts.

    New to the hobby, looking for reputable vendors

    Hands down Paul Becker is one of the best. I bought most of my slings from him and he will always answer his phone and share his decades of experience with you should you have any questions.

    About how long do you let a new T settle in before feeding it?

    Agreed with reunch although i wait at least until morning the next day before I feed. Shipping is an ordeal for the slings even though fragile is stamped all over the box the handlers just throw boxes at the sorting facility. Not trying to troll anyone but thats what ive seen at the po when I...

    A. versicolor in Texas--is misting still necessary?

    I never mist my Versi, Instead i have a large bowl of water about an inch deep with marbles in it and filled with water. Humidity stays about 80%-85% all the time you can even feel the diffrence when you place your hand in her Tank.
