I have watched 14 N. c. grow up from slings and those that had bad temper and loved to kick hairs with the slightest disturbance all turned out to be males. The one I held is a female. It is docile and calm, and yes, still itchy even if it doesn't kick hairs too often.

her lovely face

My girl would never let me hold her like that. She doesn't kick hairs much but she won't hesitate to go into a threat posture and slap.

^^^ we still can't link to pictures as images from the "old" board stuff, booo!

Here is my very active N. coloratovillosus sling:

That's my adult female Nhandu carapoensis .
Very docile - never seen her kicking hairs - if annoyed she prefer run to her hideout.

Hey Laila ;-)

I see you are using cedar bark bedding. Just for your information, all conifers - including cedar (in paticular) contain very volatile terpenes. That is one of the reasons why this bedding were introduced in the herp industry - the terpenes function as a very potent pesticide against for instance mites ... and other arachnids ... In my experience (has lost a few priced T's due to this bedding in the past - one being an adult X. immanis female) and others' - this bedding is very unhealthy for t's and spiders in general. I would suggest that you change the substrate to ordinary potting soil (again look out for products without added pesticides or fungicides), peat moss, or coconut husks - anything which doesn't have a conifer origin.

Best regards

Thanks for the advice, Søren!
I don't use it with all my T's, but I do use it for photoshoots. I think it makes it easier to compare the size of them, and it has a nice color... But I have to admit I still use it for some of them.

But I am now on my way to buy some more potting soil! It helps keeping the humidity up, too. I'm not sure my ornata is ready to move, though! =D
