[rapunzel]

I couldnt resist one more of this one...in its new tube web..

 

[skadiwolf]

aren't little T naked butts CUTE? it makes them look ever-more fragile.

UNLESS it's a male... and it's not darkening.... That's what my male b. vagans looks like, so he's spending a little time each day with his female so they can say goodbye!!

Wahhhhhhhhhh!

 

[sunnymarcie]

Now that's one naked butt!LOL!
Cover that thing up!

Looks like stress to me, is the T eating?

Is this the only problem it has?

 

[rapunzel]

she is perfectly wonderful but I

rearranged their containers on a shelf, and I gave her the b. smithi as a neighbor on one side, and the goliath pinktoe on the otherside...
so, now I have rearranged again so that she doesnt have neighbors.

Sunnymarcie,

I have a 4" L. parahybana that I got a week ago that is missing TWICE as much hair as Rapunzel's T. You mention to her that it could be stress and sound worried about her T. The day I got my parahybana, it buried itself. I haven't seen it until this morning when its tunnel collapsed. I now can see into its cave, but it still won't come out.

Should I be worried about my T, or is it trying to acclimate to its new home???

Thanks,
Mike G.

 

[rapunzel]

is the abdomen on yours dark?

By being burrowed, yours may be in pre-molt. Especially if the abdomen is dark. Did you notice it was bald when you got it, or since you got it?

Is it eating?
I feel badly for putting my T in a position it found stressful, but at least she is still eating.

...I haven't seen it until this morning when its tunnel collapsed. I now can see into its cave, but it still won't come out....


If it did collapse are you sure that the T can get out?

I recently had that happen and if I was not home I would
have had one less T. My T was much smaller though.
Pre-molt could be a possibility but if it was me, I'd start digging.

I hope everything is ok

The collapsed tunnel isn't a problem. She is out and under her cork bark. I gave her a pinky today and she ate it. Her butt isn't dark. It is flesh colored and it has been bald since I got it. I don't have a digital camera, so I can't post pics. I'm completely new to this, so I think I'm just worrying too much.

Thanks for the support.

Mike G.

Oh well..

Ernie

 

[rapunzel]

i just found this..

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I just now found Ernie's reply...he tried to keep hidden and buried...

Sorry, Ernie...and I moved her into a larger container..and well, I don't think she is kickin so much now. Perhaps she was just trying to say that she wanted a bigger house.

No, no, no, THIS is a naked butt.

Here's a picture of a male B.emilia that went bald after his ultimate molt. He ended up looking like a kind of monk, as you can see. Notice the smallish abdomen, since he'd already given up eating too. Soon after this picture I sent him away for a chance at breeding, since I didn't have a B.emilia female and he didn't look like he had long to live.

Oh how I've missed seeing your big butt Tarantulas Rapunzel!!!
