Can only imagine how excited you are right now. Getting new Ts is one of the best parts of the hobby. Enjoy your new additions.Well, they just arrived!! Holy moly! A few don't have enclosures and I'll have to properly house. It seems like the second seller also threw in three of the tarantulas that we had excluded while we were haggling. So I got one unsexed Pelinobius muticus and two mature female Ceratogyrus darlingi in addition.
Considering how many spiderlings that species has, I would hope that they would mention if she might be gravid!AND THIS GIRL. They didn't mention any chance of her being gravid, but that looks enormous. Lasiodora parahybana.
I know! One species that I didn't have an intention to breed! If that is the case, however, I would accept the challenge. Considering that they were pretty meticulous with the breeding dates and sac details on some of the other containers, I'd think this one would have had something on it if they had bred her.They all look fabulous... I'm in love with little old Rita.

Has she molted since then? If not, there has been cases of a double sack. Most likely she is just plump though.
It doesn't seem like it. The thought had crossed my mind but I thought that she might have dropped a second one by now if that were the case. I'm not an expert on the matter, however, and they've done stranger things. Anything is possible as far as I'm concerned.
I'm an avid lover of all "ugly" tarantulas. For too long my beloved "plain brown" brethren have lived in the shadows of the "pretty blue" tarantulas!That G, iheringi is pretty ugly, why not send it my way?
Yeah, your going to hit that. If it were me I'd put the Ts in holding cups and clean and re-setup all their old enclosures. New dirt, cleaned or new plants. The works. In the long run it'll save you a lot of problems and you'll know where you're starting from.
That was what I was thinking/dreading. They're incredibly settled into their containers and they'll have to redo the evident work that they've put into these. It would be a nice opportunity to put some of them into new housing though and actually take a look at a couple. I can't remotely see through a lot of the thick webbing on some of the containers. They look prehistoric. So, a little bit of a shame, but at the same time, it seems very due for the same reasons.
How is a T stirmi still unsexed at 5"? lolUnsexed T.stirmi.
I had wondered, but it seems that they raised them from a sling and didn't like to bother them much. Maybe they weren't able to sex the molts for some reason, I can't be certain. They were the one that they were not looking forward to trying to pack and ship, which is why I made sure to arrange a pick-up.
Hopefully they will collect again someday.I felt similarly! I was astonished when they mentioned her. They did say that they're keeping one tarantula, "more as a pet than a part of a collection." A G. pulchra female that they adore.
