Howdy, first time on here and just learning about T´s. i do have a delema, i think my T might be dying, its legs are starting to curl under him. now, i´ll jump back and give some details. it wasn´t long agao when i was petrified with spiders and i almost came unglued when i found my first T in the shower, to me he was as big as a house but later realized he was only about 2 1/2" long, ok, a small house. since that time i have come across 3 total and have them dried and mounted beside my computor. i found another one, fairly large body and maybe the size of 3" long or a small baseball, i know they only come in one size. i didn´t have the heart to kill as now they have become a fastination to me and i built a glass cage, threw some sawdust in the bottom and a little water dish. remember, i now nothing about these creatures so time to ask. when i caught him i dropped him into a 5 gallon bucket, just to hold him until i made better arrangements, first mistake, later on i read that they can not be dropped, very fragile. ok, i will wait to see what happens. i gave him a young cockroach and he ate the whole thing, wow, i thought they injected venom into there lunch, waited for a bit and sucked the juice out of them leaving an empty shell. a coupla days later a caught a moth and threw that in there. next morning just a little bit of the top of its wings were biten off and stilll alive. now, here in Iquitos there is an outbreak of dangue and everyones house has been sprayed 4 times within 10 days. so, i don´t know if it was the fall or the spray that´s getting to him. during the spray i would cover up the holes on top of his humble aboad but maybe some got through, he is drinking and i think that is a good sign. i am going to try and load some fotos and i would also like to know what kind he is and any other helpful information will be greatly apprciated., here goes. sorry for the long read but thought it was important to get all the info. hope it worked. i threw in a yellow spider, the size of a silver dollar. what is it? thanks
