I got a 4" L. parahybana close to 2 months ago. For the first 6 weeks, she did nothing but hide in her cave. She didn't eat much at all. Then she molted three days ago. She went from an ugly brown to a beautiful black. I'm waiting for her exoskeleton to harden for another 4 days, and then...

:? what's the brown patch on the middle of his/her back. My G. aureostriata has a "patch" that looks very similar. Thanks, Mike G.

How long till she molts. She is a 4" L. parahybana. Had her for about 6 weeks. She has the baldest :? (is that a real word??) butt I have ever seen. Her butt has always been flesh colored, until last night. I checked on her at 11:00PM on Monday and she was flesh colored. I didn't see her...

Sean, mine has eaten 2-3 times in the month that I've had her. She doesn't flick hairs...instead she runs in her cave. Everyone, What temp do you keep yours at??? Mine is around 73 degrees. I'm going to buy another heater and try to get it in the high 70's / low 80's. I offer her food...

Arachnojoost, How long did it take to get up to 7"??? Months or years (see thread entitled "L. Parahybana(Brazilion salmon pink) questions?" - I replied with questions in regards to growth rates.) Thanks, Mike G.:?

Interesting..... I too have a new L. parahybana. It is 4"+, and I was told that it was 2-3 yrs old. I have also spoke with (via email) a couple of others from this site that have new parahybanas of similar size. Theirs are just like mine. That is, more brownish than the darker colors you...

Skadi, take pictures when you feed the rabbit to the boas=D ;P =D ;P Mike G.

"but the host is cute as heck " She's pretty cute......but she's no Soleil Moon Frye. Mike G.

Heating Mats I use heating mats from ZooMed You can find them in regular pet stores (at least in Ohio you can), or you can check out the website at zoomed.com and look for "under tank heaters". I attached them to the back side of my glass aquariums, and they work great. They contain their...

RugbyDave, Nice bugs......now lets see some pics of Soleil Moon Frye!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike G.

My dumb @ss friend blew on my T today and really pissed it off. It is a 6" G. aureostriata. It hasn't shown any agression in the 9 days that I've had it...until now. I tried to handle her about 6 hours after the incident, and she reared up at me. How long do they stay pissed??? Thanks...

Sean, Where did you get the parahybana from?? I also just got a L. parahybana (from e-spiderworld) that is about 4" and brown. Compared to my other two T's that I purchased at the same time, the parahybana is very lethargic and somewhat unresponsive to food. Mine doesn't come out from its...

The collapsed tunnel isn't a problem. She is out and under her cork bark. I gave her a pinky today and she ate it. Her butt isn't dark. It is flesh colored and it has been bald since I got it. I don't have a digital camera, so I can't post pics. I'm completely new to this, so I think I'm...

Sunnymarcie, I have a 4" L. parahybana that I got a week ago that is missing TWICE as much hair as Rapunzel's T. You mention to her that it could be stress and sound worried about her T. The day I got my parahybana, it buried itself. I haven't seen it until this morning when its tunnel...

Like Wade said, I've also heard that nuking the dirt kills the "good" bacteria that keeps mold and fungus in check. Different topic but related... I can't find any of the cricket boluses after my T's eat. Do some T's not leave any remains, or I'm I not looking close enough?? If I can't find...

I have a 6" G. aureostriata (just got her last week). I've had her out twice. She pooped on me the 2nd time out. That's the story of my life. Girls are always crapping on me!!! Mike G.

Thanks Ernie!!! Mike G.

I kinda curious about my new 2.5" T blondi. I got her 7 days ago, and for the first 5 days, she sat in front of her cave. I fed her several crickets which she devoured. Then on the morning of day six, she put up a dirt wall in front of her cave. Does this mean a molt is coming??? Should I...

Sometimes, it's easier to name them. Otherwise, everyone wants to know why you haven't. T. blondi = Fugly L. parahybana = Stoner Dude G. aureostriata = Medusa

Anyone from the Cleveland area??? (or know any shops near Cleveland that specialize in T's) Mike G.
