+1 This was my first T and is growing and feeding like crazy

She's probably just upset over her enclosure being changed around and needs some time to adjust. Give her a couple days to make it her home again.

Thanks, I appreciate it. My wife helped me get the pics, I can't wait to tell her what we spent an hour doing yesterday. Thanks everyone for your help.

Are you serious? Just a bunch of turds? The good news is I have a bunch of HD quality pics of it!

Can anyone identify these eggs? I discovered them a day or two ago in my 2.5" P Regalis enclosure. There were about 10 eggs in two drops of water near her container. I also found a few in her water container. She's fed a diet of crickets, once a week. I searched the enclosure and couldn't see...

Imagine getting hit with one of those bad boys in the face going about 50 on your motorcycle! I bet it would pop your eyeball out.

It's far better to prepare for an escape that never happens, than to jeopardize the safety of your new pets. I have followed the same routine for unboxing all of my T's, and plan to continue to do the same with all future T's. Taking extra precautions for every spider you take in will help keep...

Here's a link to another thread with a video that might be of some interest. There's a lot of useful information that anyone from beginner to advanced can use. And you might want to go ahead and make room, cause you'll be getting more t's in the near future. :biggrin...

What species? Size? Enclosure? Spraying twice a day is excessive. Even the swamp dwellers like Theraphosa sp can be kept adequately humid with weekly spraying.

They will make themselves comfortable in the moist areas of your T's cage. Once you've established them in the cage, they will reproduce and act as janitors. I use dwarf white isopods in each of my T's cages. I put them in initially, and let them do the rest.

Maybe introducing isopods into the tank might help since they would be competing for food?

I jumped the gun and ordered 3 new slings, so it's in my wife's hands as to whether or not I'll be going to this months show. I guess I've got some sweet talking to do.

I don't mind spiders and the occasional black cricket coming in the house, but we get a lot of cave crickets coming in the house. I am so creeped out by them for some reason. I can handle just about anything else, but not a cave cricket. I'm getting nauseous just talking about it. Luckily my cat...

How was the show? I live about 20 minutes away from Clarksville. I had planned on going to that show, but things didn't workout so I'll be going to the March 16th show. I am hoping to pick up some Ts on my wishlist. From the pics on the website, it looked to be a fairly decent show with a nice...

Beautiful vivarium. Are you able to regularly view the tanks inhabitants through all that foliage? It would be great to get a full picture.

I tried to raise an orphaned opossum when I was a kid. I always thought it was one of the cutest babies. It's hard to find redeeming qualities in the adults, too. The one I had as a kid looked like it had on black gloves with the fingers cut out.

Hilarious!:laugh:

It's been about a month or so, how are your slings doing?

Stan, thanks for the information. I will spend some time reading through everything you recommended.
