Very new to T's. Just one of my 3. This is a female, name Toba, about 2"-2.5". Fairly active meandering about her dry/terr enclosure usually in the afternoon to evening. Very friendly. Any advice for this species is welcome. She webs strands randomly wherever she walks, normal?
I have a female for this species as well. Mine shifts position all the time. I keep the substrate dry. She has webbed up quite a bit of the substrate and walls though it is nothing like the heavy webbers.
Mine is fun to watch when I drop in prey. It is like a chess match where they take turns making moves until the cricket is finally too close and gets munched.
thanks Jeff23! So I guess it'll get bigger still or 2.5 is about the biggest? Read get to 3-3.5"... I'm already expecting it not to molt all that frequently... and just feed 1/week on average at this stage?
thanks @BobBarley, actually just fed her before I saw this, been a little less than a week... and she pounced. A cricket, about the size of her prosoma. So less frequent, eh? you can see abdomen in pic.
@u bada Just make sure abdomen stays at a nice size and you'll be fine. If you continue with your feeding schedule (one a week) she will probably start fasting for prolonged periods of time.
Ok, I hear ya. I heard that about the chilean species. I'll space feedings out and see how it goes. It's getting warmer here so I have to keep that in mind too.
@u bada Mine is probably around 2.5" DLS in size. I feed mine close to once per week but it isn't a precise time period. I am fearful of creating a "fast" so I try not to overfeed. I just make sure the abdomen stays plump (not shriveled, over-sized, or under-sized).
