Mortality of Ts. in the first stages for different reasons...

[taranbandido]

I have been reading all the comments about temperature discrepancies and so on, which can harbor a lot of controversy.
I have an example beforehand and less than a month ago I received a H.Maculata and A.Mesomelas and, today, December 25, in 3 weeks, one has moved me twice and the other has been buried and I don't know anything about it, I know that Mesomelas is alive because I have removed a little earth from the mound under the stone where it has been buried and it has taken and matched it with cobweb... Both are now between 24 and 26 degrees I installed the air conditioning 4 or 5 months ago and I have the same 4 Goliath and Pamphobeteus in that range. The truth is, in my opinion, I see them as quite comfortable, they gain weight, grow and shed... The P.Platyhoma will be around 12 or 13 years old and at From now on there are years of longevity.
I had never had trees and the H.Maculata the seller Laura has been starving and when I started giving her crickets she swelled up and locked herself up and she shed 2 times at a time with 2/3 crickets between shedding. .
I have Ts. for exactly 30 years and yes, for whatever reasons some links have always died but I must have had an 85/90% chance of them becoming adults.. Having observed that for tarantulas the first year is the most difficult in How much they overcome for whatever genetic reasons, failures of the digestive system, weakness in egg formation, etc., etc., as soon as they overcome the L5/L6 molts everything is a piece of cake... Greetings...

I had never had trees

What?

i wish you good luck with the A. mesomelas!

i do agree that the most critical part is during those first few molts and congrats on the sucesses you have had. Your description sounds promising so far.

the most balanced temperature in all of tarantula-keeping is probably ~24°C so my question, do you keep them at that temperature all year round? And if so it will be interesting to see how your project goes.

I don't doubt it is possible to raise them at that temperature (no need to mention the other species), but i do wonder if they will need some type of temperature flucation to stay healthy. They do come from a very unique environment.

As you probably know, the hard part, the reason A. mesomelas is can be such a struggle, is managing to get an egg-sack to survive. If things go well i hope we will one day read about your experiences pairing them.

keep us updated, pictures would be nice

Yes, as of this past May the Air Conditioner is running, keeping them in that range of 24/26ºC... of course I will inform you periodically as until now, it is a pleasure Happy Holidays mate... Ah!, I always substrate high levels of half terrarium part of the burrows...

Makes sense now. I was starting to think this was a strange message.

I thought that may be the case. Kudos for trying anyways.

I hope my answer touched on the subject you wanted to discuss. As is, i am still not 100% sure what you wanted to say. I got most of it i think, but some of it was hard to interpret.

Yes, it was a thread about A. mesomelas in which they discussed temperatures and so on but I lost the thread and had to create a new one and I saw that you are on the hook in the chat and very attentive, thanks guys..
