Ha thank you...I wasnt sure if I had posted in the correct forum... Ha.. Now itself they cover a great distance In the blink of an eye.. N I jus found out that the mother had laid her eggs in my room under some dirty laundry.. Can see many dead slings..although not sure how many survived.. Yet...

guys, this spider had molted recently. the pic may not give a right perspective of it's size.. It had recently molted couple of days ago to it's current size of around 1 inch legspan. It's probably a juvie now. This had possibly wandered into my room from the wild. I live in a place called...

Good analysis and spot on btw... I do work in a proteomics lab all day long..:angelic::sorry:

Bring a biologist myself, yet this didn't occur to me . Feel so embarrassed by asking that question. Probably because i thought as a hobbyist and not as a biologist ... Anyways thank you ..

Thank you . I never thought of it in that way ..

Y shouldn't we sterilise? It's not going to change the constituency/consistency of the soil. Its only going to kill microbes na?? Pardon my ignorance, but isn't baking it also achieving the same purpose of sterilising it ?!?

Hi... Those are grain mites.. Just harmless but mostly annoying.. One thing that you can do is take a vessel full of water and soap or some kind of oil.. Immerse and keep each of the legs of the table (on which you've kept your cages) in one of the vessels filled with the oil .. Now clean the...

Looks like your T is freshly molted. Going on a fast means it's entering premolt.. Top it off with its currently slim abdomen +8 months fast, I'm assuming it has recently molted.. Give it water and cricket.. Very probable that it'll take a meal.. Just make sure the fangs are dark

:bored:Maybe if you got biosafety lvl 4 hazmat suits, it'll be easier to avoid the hair !?! :woot::p

sorry... i'll edit it.. my wrong!!

I'd go with something not many of the others have suggested here - Euathlus sp. Red.. These are a dwarf species that don't go beyond 3-3.5 in., but they are a real beauty.... Good coloration, utricating hair is not so allergic, good feeding response for a dwarf species, average growth rate ...

Sorry bro ..What I meant was, relative to the ecological impact it would have if one of those escaped, the concern for the hobby is a relatively superficial one.. I didn't mean to downplay the negative impact it'd have on the hobby(I too love keeping Ts as a hobby, wish no harm for it) ...

@op .. This is more than just about a) the hobby and b) personal collection. It's not right to tamper with nature.there's a reason why different species diverged in nature, and are now separated geographically and genetically. we lowly humans have no right to meddle with it. the catastorphic...

I know opinions are subjective.. But Ppl generally agree that H Mac is much worse than OBTs:p:pompous:

A couple of weeks back, I saw in a thread that some species of T have been observed to be able to produce parthenogenic egg sacs(ie producing viable offsprings /eggs without sexual fertilisation. A member in that post had mentioned that it's been recorded in TKG.. how true it is, I dunno...

Beautiful GBB.. It's no much pure blue.. Is it its natural colour, or does it feel saturated coz of flash??

First of all, welcome to the boards!!! :happy: That's a very nice enclosure you've got there arranged.. Although those decorations are for aesthetic purpose, it nevertheless provides the versi a lot of anchor points to use for webbing.. Although this is an arboreal species, I feel maybe u can...

Pretty good image:angelic:!! That's the stuff that an arachnophobe's nightmares are made up of... :dead::eek:o_O
