Sorry for the Typo...

For some reason i keep mixing up T. sp ‘cusco’ and P. sp ‘Colombia’.

First, could you spell out the genus or subfamily name of the tarantula you are asking for information on? Please don't assume everyone knows what you are talking about using initials and abbreviations.

Do you mean Theraphosinae sp. cuzco? Then @KezyGLA's answer here might be helpful.

@wago I've had one of these for a few years and as you probably know there's little to no information about these. I've kept mine like i keep all my Thrixopelma species so you should research those it'll give you a rough idea and you should be fine, There was an article i think on bts about this species a while ago where it suggested these may actually be a Thrixopelma species and unless i have a real " runt of the litter" so to speak they are a dwarf species, they can be a little fiesty and fast

Yes I did, Thank you very much...why is there always a difference in the spelling cusco/cuzco?

Thank you for your response. Please don't assume everyone who asks a question is a seasoned tarantula keeper, I am new to the hobby and was referred here for information. I see many posts here with a letter followed by some sort of name. Lesson learned

it's OK, but in the future please spell out all the words, and triple check your spelling

Thats probably the one. thank you!

The spellingni was given (and then passed on to OP) was “Cusco” not “Cuzco” but a 10 second google search shows the same city name has been spelled both ways, and being that it is referring to the city nearest the collection site (i am assuming) i think both spellings have been/are going to be used.

Theraphosinae sp ‘Cusco’ or ‘Cuzco’

Granted i have only been around for a couple years, but First letter of the genus (or family where applicable) followed by the species is pretty standard practice, and IME 99+ percent of the time (barring typos like mine) anybody who understands either the full writeup OR the abbreviated version will understand both.

You can abbreviate, sure, but the abbreviated form should not be the only one presented, IMO. "T. sp. Cuzco" if you are not familiar could be Thrixopelma, Theraphosa, Tapinauchenius, Typochlaena, Theraphosinae, Theraphosidae, as well as others I'm probably forgetting. It's best to type out the family/sub-family/genus in full first, at least one time, then abbreviate afterwards to reduce confusion.

Same thing, different ways to write it down. Take a look at this website, lol. Not T related, though.

Thank you, that interesting....

 

[sasker]

perhaps a link for a care sheet

Haha! Caresheet!

I think that is officially the rule in scientific papers as well.

@wago If you are not an experienced keeper, perhaps you might find it easier to start with a species that is more commonly available with more available care information.

Care sheet troll....nice...I was curious about a tarantula. I had been warned about coming here (Arachnoboards) for information. Had the information I was seeking been readily available elsewhere, I would not have placed myself in your crosshairs and set myself up for ridicule. Thank you so much sasker for confirming what others have said about this group. I couldn't feel more welcome

He was joking...hence the troll emoji....just a funny, no need to take offense.

I think you misunderstood my joke. It wasn't directed at you and not meant to ridicule you, but I understand why you didn't get it. Whenever someone asks for a caresheet, the usual response is that caresheets by definition are wrong. I was surprised that no-one brought it up, so I did, as a joke. And yes, the troll emoji means "don't take whatever written before it seriously".

I do apologise if it made you feel uncomfortable.

what others have said about this group.

Whoever has lurked this site long enough will know that honest requests by people with a positive mindset will not prompt an unpleasant reaction. Those who come here with an unpleasant attitude will be responded to accordingly. Perhaps you have listened to the wrong people

What's wrong with "caresheets" they are general rules or general guidelines to follow when taking care of an animal. And when you ask someone hoe to take care of an animal what are they giving you? General rules I'm dieing
