Aviculariinae tend to seal all the entrances to their web tubes when in pre-moult so I usually check for this before attempting to feed.This brings me back to my question. If you don't know the T is in pre-molt, and you drop a feeder in and it disappears into the moss or the webbing, then what? My C. Versicolor has this elaborate web maze around her "tree" that they will get in and I can't get to them without trashing her enclosure at that point. How much do I need to worry about that I guess is my concern here.
Yes, they can.Dubias can harm T's?
Feeders are a gateway drug into the roach hobbyIt is
*Laughs in an army of feeders that pay for themselves
lol I bought one for my first T, ive learned so much since thenHumidity gauges are important

In any case, having to wreck a bit of webbing to hook a feeder out is a non-issue, they can make more. They can't regenerate from getting nommed to death though.
In the past I’ve weighed in on the pro side of the water dish conflagration, but I only have 4 T’s which is so easy I have no room to talk. But I’ve witnessed my porteri use hers. *shrug*‘I don’t see my T use its water dish, so it’s doesn’t need it’
So you strapped a GoPro to your enclosure to film 24 hour surveillance for 12 months then looked through all the footage?
No? Then how do you know it doesn’t use it?
Woah get a roomMyth = tarantulas don’t like being kissed.
They love it.
I have one, the T room.Woah get a room
KinkyI have one, the T room.
I have seen all of my T's drink from their water bowls, with the exception of my P sazimai, due to the enclosure size, but it'll be getting one when I rehouse it.View attachment 366652 Even avics come down to drink, sometimes.
There is no reason not to have one if there's space for it.
And finally....the adult size of anything Tarantula.....its never as big as people think. - fixed it.And finally....the adult size of anything Lasiodora.....its never as big as people think.
Adult size of any large tarantula for sure - fixed it.Adult size of L. Parahybana for sure
I've had B. lats in with many molting T's and never have had a problem. They are timid and run away when anything larger than them moves slightly. But to be on the safe side you can put a little roach food in the enclosure now and then, this also keeps the roach from being malnourished when your T gets around to eating it.This brings me back to my question.

Does orange count as a color?Phlogius goliath is THE goliath birdeater.
Phlogius goliath is the largest T species in Australia.
Every Phlogius species is just a crassipes variant.
Adult Selenotypus are worth more than $175.
Phlogius PQ113/blue leg will 100% always have blue legs.
There are no colourful T's in Australian territory.
And 2 unkowns, the orange one probably Selenotypus.
Outstanding idea. Thanks SoA!I've had B. lats in with many molting T's and never have had a problem. They are timid and run away when anything larger than them moves slightly.
