[ChrisNCT]

Well,

This is gonna spice up the evening!

I snapped some pics of my beauties today!

Pterinochilus lugardi (Dodoma or Fort Hall Baboon) Female 5"

Pterinochilus murinus (OBT or Usambara Orange Baboon) Female 5"

Just one question. How the hell did you get them to stop? lmao If I were to try that, mine would be halfway across the room and still moving at Mach5.

Now there's something you don't see everyday. My OBT would be snacking on my thumb if I was to try that.

wasent it aggressive when u tried hnadling it

Told you those two weren't complete demons, Chris. That lugardi was a sweetheart when I was packing her up. The murinus did hiss at me once but really wasn't extremely defensive beyond that.

It's still not recommended to handle either species folks as they are generally considered (rather) defensive, particularly P. murinus. Once out of their enclosure or familiar territory, they can be somewhat calm.

Sorry about the video quality, first time videographer.

This is me pissing off my P. lugardi. He comes close to climbing my utensil. Yes, I squealed. What can I say? He scares me.

Also, why did you have to piss off your P. lugardi?

 

[Serasha]

Thanks, I can't figure out how to embed a video.

I had to transport him so thought I'd video him in the process.

 

[splangy]

His butt looks like a face at about 45 seconds. lol

 

[Serasha]

Ha! It does! a :-O face.

 

[Bosing]

poor T didn't know what to do to defend himself. He really jumps well, though!

Nice wood chips. :wall:

 

[J.huff23]

So your keeping a burrowing T on wood chips....and you piss it off just for the purpose of getting a video of it....

First off, get that T on some coco fiber or peat moss. Wood chips are sucky to use as substrate because they dont allow for burrowing, among other reasons.

Also, since your fairly new here, I think I should tell you that if you come on here showing everybody how badly you can piss of your tarantula, your going to get flamed. Your just making yourself look foolish. This is a forum for people who keep Ts for the pleasure, not to look cool by making it attack something.

Nice wood chips. :wall:

I'm surprised nobody mentioned it until 5 posts..

Poor burrower is without her burrow..

 

[Teal]

I think that is appropriate.

I feel so sorry for that poor spider

First off - Get atleast 5" of substrate, PROPER substrate, into that enclosure so she can make herself a comfortable home.

Secondly - Leave her the hell alone. She's confused and out in the open, and poking her with random crap is akin to animal cruelty in my book - if the way you're keeping her, wasn't grounds enough to call it such to begin with :wall:

 

[Kamikaze]

hmmm... a good substrate like coco peat would probably destress your T.
I'm hope thats the reason why you're transporting him/her.
Good luck!

 

[pwilson5]

hmm "lets piss off this spider RIGHT before transporting it..." seems like a good idea...
lol Good looking T tho... liking the butt face. haha
