My baby A. Seemani

[Drachenjager]

This is my little girl. Age is unknown as Petco didnt know. The container is
5 1/2 inches wide so that should give you some idea of her size. She eats about 6 of the large gray crickets a week.
I just got some small mice, Not sure about feeding them to her tho. may be messy
New pics in her new home

very nice. mines very fiesty but for 7$ ill take him lol
give'em some place to dig out a burrow and they will be happy. mine would eat that many crickets a day if i would let him lol. they are cool!

 

[Drachenjager]

How big is yours? I was amazed that Petco had one this big. I have been expicting a mold from her for a while now but when i think she is about to begin she tricks me and starts runnign around and looking for more food lol

Just wondering :? you are gonna remove the paper towel and add some soil or peatmoss for substrate right...

Regards, Mike

Ok thats good, I was upset

 

[Drachenjager]

whats the green stuff?
do ya think there should be some grass in there?

 

[CedrikG]

no need of grass I use it to keep a good humidity.

Give it a good amount of substrate they're good burrowers (6-7-8 inch of substrate). You can decorate if you want to that does'nt change anything, i've read (Only read, did'nt keep this species yet) that once they made a burrow they rarely leave it. You can Pre made it a burrow on a corner or near a wall so you can see it more, just like this

I had mine in a 10 gallon aquarium with sand, gravel and bed a beast mixed. I had an A. Anax in there before, it was a male and expired about 5 months after last molt. I just put the A. Seemani in there when i got her home. I just today changed her out into another tank with 6-7 inches of 70% peat moss and 30% vermiculite she has a cork bark hide with a small "ditch" under it now. I have a small patch of that grass that grows really slow lol forgot what it’s called. And a little bowl for water.

 

[solaceofwinter]

mines about the same size as yours.
just assuming yours looks female, mine im sure is a male. i am only guessing based on looks, i know its not the best way to tell the sex.
id guess when mine molts next he might go mature. seems as though no matter how much mine eats it wont get that fat though...

 

[Drachenjager]

i am about 90% sure shes a she lol . Id like to try to mate her sometime. Never done tthat tho , prob best i let another Spider do it lol
anyway, if i find a mature male i am planning to try it just to see if i can get a hatching . Would be great to have 5-8 hundred s'lings rrunning round the house lol

Beautiful seemani!! I never see mine.

 

[Drachenjager]

she generally hides under her piece of bark but she never has burrowed. She will hide out for several days then come out and run around for a while.

Update

She has started burrowing today , not sure how far she will go . she has a hole about 2 inches deep and has her butt in it lol of course all the dirt she moved went in her water dish lol
thats why i call her Grace lol
