one of the worst and ugly environnement I've ever seen
thanks... ;P god the hate on these boards is outstanding...
personally i think all the hate comes from the fact i have an outstanding looking T and i dont go about using the "normal methods" to which they are kept. Not to mention my photos are pretty DAMN good and when people compare them to there own there alittle dissapointed in theirs.. its ok guys i love hate and will be on these boards for a long long time..

Alright..if you didn't want peoples opinions, why post then? Those are alright pictures, check the other picture threads and you'll see outstanding pictures. Everyone is suggesting that you change it..but it's your choice. Oh..by the way..your T looks just about the same as a few others I've seen
Haha...your really being a jerk for people asking questions about something you posted. I am not hating as I could really care less...just inquiring and giving my opinion. You dont like it? Dont post on a public forum.
As for your "better than others attitude"...it sucks. Just cause you have a hardy species that didn't die in the sand...doesn't mean it enjoys it. Tons of people know that when a T spends lots of time on the sides and not on the substrate...it is a tell tale sign something is usually wrong. Just keep her on it, I am sure she is just in heaven.
Oh, and your pics aren't nothing to be knocking people over...they might be better than 5% of what I see posted, so get down off your pedestal. "Oh WOW, you got clear pics of a 6" spider...you must have had to use the hubble telescope...gimme a break."
People aren't hating on you cause you have a different enviorment...people are suggesting something because your enviorment sucks...as previously mentioned. But hey...what would hundreds of other successful keepers know right? I am sure you will change everyones mind, and soon we will all be living on calci-sand ourselves! You are such a pioneer...someone give this guy the nobel prize.

So your the judge of all enviorments? You have seen a picture that reveals less than 10% of the enclosure.. so it must be horrible. come on now.. I posted a picture thread in a picture post forum.. I wasnt posting anything saying "check out the substrate" or "what do you think of it".. It takes a tool like yourself to come in and pick apart someone elses pictures.. Have you ever heard of the old sayin "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all"? Did i try and sell everyone on the IDEA of calcium sand being the BEST of the BEST? NO.. Your putting words in my mouth now.. And few others besides yourself have even made mention the substrate.. seems like your about the only one with the problem.. I will admit you have your FLAME game down pretty good, but it only makes you look stupid..Haha...your really being a jerk for people asking questions about something you posted.

Picture posted, constructive critisim on the husbandry displayed given. No need for the rest.
Forgive my naivity, having never kept and OBT, but aren't they prolific webbers? Could it be that it is too stressed by the substrate to ever really settle in?

She has been settled in for 7yrs in that enclosure. Only about the past 3-4yrs has the sand been added. And in those 3-4yrs there has been no change in her appetite, or behavior.. And yes she does have a very large webbed burrow at the opposite end of the tank..

Tarantulas, especially this species, can survive many conditions.
However, years of research by arachnologists and serious hobbyists have determined what the best conditions are for a tarantula to thrive.
Members will *always* point out husbandry errors as this forum was created to share information with other hobbyists.
What you choose to do with the information that is proven, documented and supported by research and study is your choice, as is how you decide to govern yourself on these forums.
Thread locked - as will every other thread you begin that results massive mod-cleanup efforts. I'd suggest relaxing a little before accusing every member that makes a suggestion of showering you with hate.
You're seriously starting to appear troll-like in your posting style - and we don't take kindly to that 'round these parts.
