Hello to all of you.
I want to introduce myself, i am from a small country called Liechtenstein and I am 27. I have been watching videos and reading books about Tarantulas for about 3 years now.
Finally I decided to get my own. I checked the internet and found relatively nearby a collector that has Tarantulas for sale. He has about 60 different species.
I decided for a 2 year old not mature Lasiadora Klugi male (because it is not so common and they are very pretty) and a Juvenile Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens female.
Now my question:
L. Klugi is known to be on the defensive side XD.... but when i open the terrarium and touch anything inside, it can be the water dish or the substrate he immediately teleports to the spot and try’s to attack. The same when i take a paintbrush and touch his back leg gently. he has a very big enclosure with a forest theme. i made him a nice comfy hiding place but I didn’t give him a lot of substrate because these species don’t NEED to burrow. He uses his hide almost never and always displays himself on the same spot. humidity and temperature is good.
Can anyone tell my why he is so aggressive? The last molt was in January. Is it possible that he is so hungry that he thinks everything is food? I feed him every Week 2 Adult Crickets.
Thanks for the Help
