Beautiful T! I had this, cf. antinous and Santo Domingo "klein/small" as my options. Went for antinous instead because black! :happy:
Got my bases covered with black T's. Pamphobeteus antinous and my Grammostola pulchra.

Not the best feeding video. Very clunky and awkward. But at least the little rascal came out.

It is funny, my C. chicoi are missing their prey more often than my other tarantulas, too.

Your G. iheringi has a lovely bush of hair between her eyes!! :happy:

This is the first time her prey hasn't just gone into her home for a while now. She's absolutely stunning and it's great to show her off. Tiny little rascal.

Aye, my iheringi rocks a mean mohican monobrow.

You had mold in the box? I hope that it don't come back anymore now.

I screwed in my boxes vent holes near the bottom and on the opposite side on the top like you. And some holes in the lid.
But I use simple bio potting soil mixed with some clay for all my spiders, and sphagnum moss on a part of the top for my Cyriocosmus species. I don't want another soil, with this one I never had any problems.
But I must admit, that I don't have this large boxes for my Cyriocosmus, I have the lower ones with I think 11 cm hight. In the taller ones with about 5 litres I keep B. emilia and G. pulchra.

The mould shouldn't ever come back. New, tub, new substrate, decorations and water bowl.

There's a lot of ventilation so hopefully no more problems.

My T.blondi lass moulted yesterday. Her 4th since I got her earlier this year. She's certainly putting on some size now.







Also a quick video of my Poecilotheria subfusca lowland. It's a rubbish video but I get so little footage of her I've posted it anyway.

Zeus didn't want the F/T mouse I got out for him as a treat. So, waste not want not.
