I was told it just matured about 4 months ago, how much longer would it have?
Do you have an adult female? Why get a mature male?
No this isn't my first T? and difficult? I don't know..
Thanks for the info, and no you don't come off as a pr*ck to me. LOL. You just are someone who speaks the truth. I know how it is when people don't search, (I use to be on Tech forums and those are bad) I just sometimes have no clue what to type in the search sometimes and when I do I come up blank. I will start using that search tho and go to Barnes and Noble and read some book to hopefully help others.
I <3 you.
+1. Well said. Some newbies want to start in the deep end without an understanding of what's involved. They ask questions, which they should, but sometimes the nature of those questions reveal a nearly complete lack of knowledge, and research, on their part. You should really put some effort into this up front, with books and online searches. If your knowledge of tarantulas is primarily a few brief responses to a thread you started begging for help, you need to take it slow. Take your foot off the gas. It's one thing if you're starting with Aphonopelma and Brachypelma, as there's more margin for error with those. But jumping into intermediate and advanced species right off the bat just seems impulsive. And it's the spiders that suffer. This hobby is not a race. It's a long-term effort, and not about instant gratification.
Well said man
Thank you. I got my first tarantula 40 years ago. Over the years I've seen the hobby get better and better: more species avaiable, more people collecting and owning them, more books, more information (especially on the internet), more taxonomic work. It's improved in every area. There's no need for anyone to feel like this is 'Beat the Clock.' The hobby keeps getting better, take your time, you're not going to miss anything. Enjoy it.
Definitely posts some pics. From what you say, it does not sound good.
