Sadistik: Glad to see i'm not the only one to have a psycho B. vagans!
Has anyone told this species it's supposed to be docile? I'm far more scared of this spider than I am my cobalt!

Yeah my G.rosea never use's her hide, never! Not even if a cric goes in there, she will just wait for it to come out.

i was reading that it could be that they feel safe and dont feel the need to hide away.saying that somtimes when im in the tank it retreats into the burrow.

 

[jbrd]

When were in the G.rosea tank doing what not, she gets all touchy feely like she wants to know whats goin on? Kinda freeks my old lady out lol

Just after I changed the substrate from bark chips to eco-earth, she was climbing all aver the place, it was still a bit moist at the time, but now she has since calmed down. One of the times she had her front legs leaning against the glass to resemble a threat pose (but she wasn't).

i imagine you'll get plenty more from that little guy. the only t i have currently that gives me threat displays is a b.smithi go figure

I tossed in a mealworm from the top and it accidentally rolled off her web and hit her. So she freaked out. She started lunging at the sides of the keeper. I really thought she was going to hurt herself smacking the sides like that, but after ten min or so she calmed down and ate her meal. Totally freaked out my roommate who was watching me feed her, he took a step back and said "ITS GONE CRAZY!!! I couldn't help but laugh and be thankful my T. blondi is a sweetheart.

Nice picture! I have several my self....They freak out all the time.

 

[Beccas_824]

Pretty OBT-of course it doesn't look to happy in those pics!

 

[xBurntBytheSunx]

sounds like a fun spider to have...maybe i'll put one on my wish list

 

[tmanjim]

very nice but looks a little cramped in there.

I've always suspected this T to be not so nice...but i always thought it was cuz it was hungry (barely touch it's hind legs or abdomen) as it would spin around and grab whatever was touching it, sometimes striking (i'd even tap a few times on the glass or whatever to announce my presence). Today it REALLY didn't like me:

 

[Mr Ed]

Wow, definitely some attitude there. Mine usually get moody before a molt. Is he/she expecting one anytime soon? then again, sometimes you get one outside the norm. Beautiful T either way.

 

[edesign]

molted on Nov. 20th and is now 4" (see my enclosure post). Before that was Aug. 25...not sure if i posted about it or took pics, or even remember size lol. Got it from Holley on June 20th and I think she said it had molted not too long before she shipped it, week or two. I'm gonna guess and say about 3.5-4 months between molts now, so no...not expecting a molt any time soon. Still adjusting to it's new enclosure, has a nice web weaving network going under and around it's cork bark. Be great to see it's finished (ever?) web...see how it acts when it's home is established.
