Awesome. Congratulation on your new Ts.

 

[D Sherlod]

Thanks,,, any suggestions on the O. philippinus.
I did my research on everything else over the previous month or so. This one was a surprise.

Inches of slightly moist/moist (here depends) substrate. Ventilation IMO is key. They are pet holes, basically. Nice Theraphosidae, less defensive than genus Chilobrachys basing on the experience I had.

I'm not a master when it comes to Oz units (the only Oz I was aware of was the 'Wizard' and HBO prison serie) but yes for the rest, man :-s

[D Sherlod]

oz=ounce LOL

 

[Chris LXXIX]

oz=ounce LOL

I know

Just that, since we use cm and not inches, and liters and not ounce when I read 4/10/etc Oz I can't directly figure well on my mind the exact size + or -

Just reviewed pictures and the Nhandu still has the cap from a molt attached

 

[D Sherlod]

I just checked the Nhandu ,,, There is definitely a part of the carapace and a piece from the top of the abdomin stuck.
It doesn't appear to be bothering the T.
Should it just be left alone and the next molt would take care of it?

 

[Trenor]

I'd just let it be. It's not covering anything important and will likely fall off on it's own. If it starts hanging lose like I might try to get it off them. If you do be really careful not to hurt the T.

P. cancerides, good choice. As my Phormictopus sp. purple grows, she is fast becoming my favorite. So characterful.
