Nice! glad you found it. Dont know if i could sleep in a room with a T lose. i have spider nightmares..lol. heres the molt dates of my LP, only started records a few molts in since it was so small:- instar4 - 19.11.13....<36 days>..........instar5 - 25.12.13........<36days>.....instar6 - 29.01.14..........<35days>.......instar7 - 04.03.14........<45days>.........instar8 - 17.04.14........<51days>.......instar9 - 06.06.14......<48days>.........instar10 - 23.07.14. (just over 4 inches) This is just a guide as veriations in room and enclosure temp, humidity and feeding play a big part. Hope this helps. Good luck with your new T.

Thanks yeah i wasnt really to worried bout sleeping with it since its so small but when it grows thats a different story Lol but the best part my dad let me keep the replacement one he brought me and the mexican red knee so two Lps thanks for all the info

 

[titanT]

No problem. Ill put some pictures up soon of each molt. So you can get a rough idea of what to exspect in size diffrence per molt with the molt dates ive given, bear in mind im 80% sure ive got a male so yours might not molt as quick and be so leggy. I was gonna say you could breed them then i remembered they will mature at different ages if there the same age. Males around 2 years. Females 3y. To prevent inbreeding..unlucky...and thats only if youve got a male and female to begin with. Wanted to get a gbb, what are they like? Either that or versicolor?

Dude that's awesome! Found your T and gained 2 more!

Seriously though that's pretty amazing you found it so quickly. I'm glad you didn't permanently lose a T. Or months later stumble upon a 4" tarantula in your house.

That's still a possibility for me, I lost two 1/3-1/2" LP slings. Though I have a ton of false widow spiders in my house, but most are smaller than my LP's, so hopefully they don't get eaten.

Those widows would make quick work out of little LP slings...they wouldn't stand a chance....webbing is a big advantage.

Ah we dont have have false widows here so had no clue.. but uk theres always the chance it found loose feeders till 3" maybe? XD was just a scenerio i thought would seem cool. Ik i read a few others have the false widow problem so would be a win-win ya know? Lol

+1. Any web-building spiders can kill much larger and stronger prey than themselves. Tarantula slings are easy work for them.

Thanks and i love my gbb it is so active and loves to web i would recommend one definately and the coloring is great i personally never owned a versicolor but will most likely in the future

 

[titanT]

Thanks for the info.do really want a gbb, crimbo though...tut. Along wait. Will put those pics of molts , but such a pain to get pics resized, have them work then post them on here,...and thats just 1.lol do you know the exact size in kb or mb in order for me to get the best quility possible for you, will just pick out my best pic for each instar or i would be on here all day. .. which i have been today. Lol

 

[ramsnew11]

Lol im sorry i dont ive only uploaded a few pics and it was from my phone but thanks

 

[titanT]

here are the pics of the molts at each instar so you get an idea of size, compare it to the molt dates ive given to get an idea of time between each molts, sorry didn't record leg span, basically small, lol instar 3 (top pic) to instar 7 (bottom pic)

 

[titanT]

I lost a B. Hamorii (Smithi) in my two bedroom apartment twenty plus years ago. It was probably 3" DLS at the time. The best part was I had a roommate that summer. I had to go to my roommate and say "uh hey dude, you seen my spider?" He was like "uh no, why? is it loose?". I was like "no, no, just wondering." A week later I came home from class (college) to find it just chilling in the middle of the floor in my bedroom like 6 feet from the enclosure. I almost stepped on it. I put it back in its cage and was a little more cautious from that point on. It lived to be 19. Died of old age a couple of years or so ago.

@Devastar seriously?

You Just disliked a 4 yr old OPINION?

 

[cold blood]

@Devastar What do you need clarification for? You are the one dishing out the dislikes for seemingly no reason. I just asked why.

I just didn't agree with one of your old opinions, that's why I placed a dislike. It's also just my opinion, a useless one, but it's just what it is, a reaction, an opinion. o.o
