brass oxidizes, i think that might be harmfull to the t's

i would try and spray paint them but let the paint cure for at least a week to ensure that no toxic fumes dissipate from the surface. i see no harm in using to the extent that there must be no solvent residue build up in the enclosures

i believe the largest african species is the hysterocrates hercules. which are seldom seen in the states

I must say that if you would have read the first post more carefully you would understand that clearly this is not a "needless" loss of a specimen. The tarantula had a fungal/bacterial infection cleary to me it was dying and I just tried something to see if it would work. Once again if you...

I have all of poecilotheria species except for subfusca "tigris" and smithi they are all very stunning but to me the most impressive is the ornata/rufilata their sheer size and green colors (which is my favorite) is what makes them attractive to me. dont get me wrong blue is cool but hey green...

Xenethis Immanis is a new world tarantula that comes from Colombia in South America. they are a beautiful black with purple on the carapace and can get quite pricey.

It's not simply the fact they are "spiders" which they are not and btw thanks for stating the obvious.:wall: The point of this question is to further devolope an understading of a field to which many of us is unknown. It is not to simply "medicate a spider" which yes I did and learned...

Hello all, I am curious to know if enyone has ever tried to use an anitbiotic on a tarantula. what were your observations and what were the results? The reason that I ask is that I used penicillin dissolved in water in 1:5 raito on a male (immature) poecilotheria ornata. The T had been...

55 is fair. i am also 99.9% that is a female lividum. the males are usually skinny and brown in color. very nice good luck with it

I must agree with Mr Short Radius. In total I have 31 t's from the genus poecilotheria varying from Regalis to Metallicas. In all I must say that they are truly one of the most interesting genus to observe and display. quoting Mr Short Radius it must be said that yes you must maintain a...

as far as my understanding of tarantulas goes, when they molt they have white fangs. i have seen some with red. this is definatly not blood as t blood is clear and is called hemolyph. i woud not worry about it too much unless is a fang is broken. see how she fares and offer a cric two weeks...

I handeled a blondi before. must say that i did it with alot of respect because if it were to nab me i would have been in dire pain. the way i grabbed it was to pin it down with my pointer finger then grab it with my thumb and middle fingers between its fourth and third legs on each side. i...

get an aboreal get a poecilotheria regalis they are very nice and fun to observe. mine does funny things

let her be for another week in the mean time try to dry out the tank as much as possible. then capture her and clean out the tank. microwave all the substrate or place in the oven at 300 degrees with alot of water. bake this for about 2 hours and u should have no mites after that. also wash...

only the bottom pane is, the sides are not. also from what ive seen the tempered glass is mostly used on the larger aquariums

well said, I can agree with you on that. now im contradicting myself lol:wall:

I am glad that you did i have two and there boring to me that is.:D

you shouldnt feel like an idiot its a learning experience. but do watch out with those hairs they can be costly. i got one stuck in my eye while doing maintance on 100 t's, cost be 500 between the emergency room and opthamologist to get it removed. plus i was kinds blind out of my left eye...

i agree with those on a regalis. im my opinion a avic is kinda boring a regalis on the other hand is more beautiful than a avic. plus if u keep scorps then u might want something alittle more agressive, a regalis is this kind of t plus thay can get to about 7+ in size. plus u get to create a...

on its next molt it should completey recover the patch of missing hair. good luck with it:)
