Male?
I'm just getting into true spiders, I've collected T's for about a year and a half. I was just wondering, How could you tell that it is a male or I guess my question is how do you sex a true spider such as a brown recluse?
Easy!
Take a 2 liter pop bottle and cut the bottom off. Using this place it over the T and slide something sturdy and flat underneath it to trap it. Then put that in your new house and let the T crawl out on it own time. If your T is burrowed then you may have to dig to get to it. Just have the...
I pulled the eggsac from my G. rosea this weekend and cut it open and found about 200 slings in there. They are definitely past the eggs with legs stage but how early should I seperate them. I started to with some but I thought I would go on here and find out a little info before I seperate all...
I'm with the NEVERS
I do everything I can to not handle my T's. Its not worth getting bit or dropping the T. The only T's of mine i've handled are my G. rosea's and my A. avic's.;P
Is there a chance she could be pregnant. I got a rosea from petco awile back and two months later she webbed everything like your saying and sure enough I found that she was pushing around an eggsac.
So is this possible?:?
Hay alot for the price of one!
Hey if it helps at all I live about an hour outside of chicago and I would be willing to take as many as needed off your hands. If not and you want to keep them just seperate them and put them in a closet with the heat lamp on the other side to try to keep them...
Ok plan B
What I've also done when the T's won't cooperate like I want them to is I get a Kritter Keeper, the smallest one they make and try to fit the cylinder inside the KK with the lid off and I leave it. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks but eventually you will catch the T outside of its...
Here's what I do
I try to handle my T's as little as possible(for my safety as well as theirs) so what I do at the stage your at is tape both the openings of the new cylinder and the old cylinder together and see if the T will explore into the new cylinder and then quickly undo the tape and cap...
Metal Bands!
I name all my T's after metal bands! It works for me and there's so many choices to choose from. Examples of a few of my T's are Otep, Chimaira, Flaw, Unearth. That's just a couple but it works for me.;P
Sounds fine.
Mike,
Everythng sounds fine. I use a 50/50 mix of sphagnum peat moss (100% sphagnum peat moss) and Coco fiber (Eco Earth from Petco) and that seems to work great for all my T's, But if everything is going good now with your T, I wouldn't change the substrate until your tank needs...
Welcome to the hobby!
Welcome to the hobby and to the boards! First I would find out what kind of substrate or bedding you brother used. Sounds OK though. Give your new T some time to get used to its new home. This can take sometimes a couple weeks but if its eating right and not running around...
New enclosure?
Did you recently change or clean their enclosures because sometimes it takes a while for them to get used to a new or newly cleaned enclosure? My Costa Rican Tigerrump usually at least 3 weeks before she will dig a burrow. ;P
She was purchased as an adult
I purchased her about 2 months back as an adult from petco. (I know.. normally I wouldn't buy a T from petco but she looked miserable and I had to save her). so this sac could be fertile? That would be awesome. So should I just let her keep the sac in her burrow...
Yesterday when I got home from work I noticed my 4" female G. rosea was outside her burrow and had what looked like an egg sac under her. It was this white looking ball about the size of a golf ball. I couldn't get a picture in time because as soon as I got back with a camera she dragged it down...
