Acanthoscurria Brocklehursti

[vleavens]

Does anyone here have an Acanthoscurria Brocklehursti?? I have had mine for about 6 months now. She went through a molt, right side up I might add....scared the bejebees out of me. However it has been 4 weeks and she has no interest in eating. I took her out and checked her fangs they look good. She has been drinking alot.

So just currious to here other peoples experiences...and how they care for thier A. Brocklehurstis

About 7 to 8 inches. She is quite large. Her abdomen is the size of a large egg.

I got mine as a tiny sling in 2001 and now she is more than 8''. She always accepts food (I feed several crickets/roaches once per week), right up to a molt and within a few days after. I also flood(pour water into) her enclosure once a week (but not during feeding time). She is the only T I have that I see drink water on a regular basis. She refuses to leave a water bowl alone, she either moves it around or fills it up with substrate.
