Thanks for this happysmile88 - yet another great link =) I think she's acting normally now as she's webbing much more and when I left her, she had her fangs into a rather large mealworm. I offered her quite a dinky cricket yesterday but took it out as she tapped at it and then went all defence...

So I've been monitoring her all day and this morning she was running around all over the place getting less and less towards the afternoon. Late afternoon she was in one place for a couple of hours and now, at 9pm, she has started to look upwards... =)

It's funny as until I got Sweetness, I had never heard of the M. Balfouri before and I got her "by mistake". She completely reignited my interest in tarantulas even though I have had tarantulas for years now. She is the reason I am writing to you know, SuicidalSock *lol* ---------- Post added...

She has been milling around on the substrate for hours so I don't think I need to be concerned, but still monitoring. It's quite fun, actually *lol*

Yes, *LOVE* that video! ---------- Post added 01-30-2012 at 03:09 PM ---------- If a spider is running around on the roof of its enclosure, I would automatically think something was wrong in how it's being kept, so that's why I looked at the parametres, and everything seems as it should be...

Thanks for this, happysmile88. I have read that in the wild, they climb over rocks and bolders, so maybe this is why she seems so active and climbs all over her enclosure =) ---------- Post added 01-30-2012 at 12:38 PM ---------- She's doing quite a bit of preening at the moment... 3rd and 4th...

I acquired an M. Balfouri a couple of weeks ago and it hasn't really burrowed and seems to be very active, walking around the enclosure and climbing. Yep, climbing. And staying on the roof of the enclosure. The parametres of the enclosure seem to be fine: 27°C (80.6°F) and humidity is at 50%...

It's not his video, as he says, happysmile88 =) For what it's worth, I was mildly curious to see the inside of the abdomen, but that's about it. ---------- Post added 01-25-2012 at 07:03 PM ---------- Yes, me too.

I agree, chowser. Isn't this forum for everyone interested in tarantulas et al.? This may be also people who are thinking of getting a tarantula so they come here to get advice. From the horse's mouth, so to speak. If I didn't have the personality that I do have (dominant and rational), I would...

Will do, thanks =)

Great. You know, I had to look up the meaning of "LPS" as I didn't what that meant, either ;) I ask questions if I don't know, akprost - nothing more, nothing less. Now I know what TKG is. I rejoined the forum two, three days ago and went straight into posting and then started to sniff around...

Yes, I think it should be! My Lola is a red-phase beauty =)

Depends on the thread. I don't think this thread is particularly productive on the whole, xhexdx, so it would be difficult to throw up a "counter-productive" post here. Personally, I think you have overestimated many people's ability when first coming to a thread, and then, once learned, how to...

Do you know where M. Balfouri comes from, curtisgiganteus?

But will they be able to use the search function and read stickies *FIRST* before offending certain people by *gasp* asking *a question*? ;) *lol*

It doesn't matter whether you're an adult or "uberly" educated, ijmccollum - people should be allowed to be able to post basic questions. It would be more helpful to provide the person with the relevant link rather than to *try* and belittle the person because he or she a) has little to no...

Oh I agree that stickies are great, although if you're new to this forum/any forum, you may not be forum-literate so you just post any old crap. We sometimes forget that some people just get a spider and then look online and find a whole world out there that they never knew existed... It's like...

Yes, I may. I've kept tarantulas for years succesfully without having ever heard of the TKG so I believe it's possible to enjoy the hobby *and* not have heard of the book *lol*

Why? I have never heard of it, akpropst; a simple truth. If I don't know something, I ask what it is, hence my asking what TKG is. I don't believe in asking a stupid question (or "sad" in this case... ;) as if you are looking after the lives of things, sometimes stupid questions need to be...
