Official Rose Hair (G. Rosea) Tarantula Fan Forum

[Daehon]

My G.rosea, not sure if its a he or she but doesn't matter, we call her Rosetta. Her hobby is once I put the crickets in with her, she will than act like a sheep dog and herd them all around the tank until she eats them.

Based solely on abdomen size, I'd bet that's female. Especially if it's WC. Possibly gravid.

That I couldn't say we (my wife and me) rescued her from a pet store a couple of years ago. She has only molted once, some one had dropped her off there so we brought her home.

Cool when you mate them make sure you pay attention to things like temperature and moisture even though moisture isn't too important because they come from a very dry place but I've heard from a very experience breeder that putting them through a cooldown period is the best way to encourage a sac to be produced this isn't absolutely required though as people have had sacs laid without the cooling period but yah these spiders are very cool haha get it cool cooling period meh oh well I think this sentence has run on long enough...

No matter what the internet and text messaging may have taught you, grammar and punctuation are important and getting pissy because someone points it out just makes you look, well, not too smart.

well hopeing to mate both my females soon so i guess ill have to get prepared thanks for the heads man

 

[Sathane]

Wow! What language should I use when translating this with babelfish?

hexd mate if u dont like it then dont post simple and its a fugure of speak and some sarcasm bud and who cares about long posts and tbh i dont care what you have to say even though all u ever have to say to me is just rude like give me break for once like !!!!!

 

[pearldrummer]

Here is my G. rosea she is super sweet so far. In fact my G. pulchripes is the mean one (go figure)

 

[lilmoonrabbit]

I'll join in. I have a G. rosea for my first T, and I love her already. She's active, she's beautiful, and a great start to my collection.

Sorry for the poor picture. I am trying to get better.

 

[pearson340]

wow guys i thought we had dropped this problem once today already, but clearly not someone had to go off topic once again, I'm going to say this once more i do not care! I am here to talk about T's thats it if you dont like how i type then just don't read then!!!!
Nice T's guys really nice :clap:

 

[curiousme]

Hey pearson340, care to answer?

Aren't you worried about falls? There is very little substrate in there, but an awful lot of vertical space.

Also, why the humidity gauge? Is it hard to keep tanks dry where you are?

 

[scottyk]

Looks female to me.

Yep :clap:

You've won a P. metallica sling! (as soon as I get some adults, pair them up, get a sac, and have a successful hatch. I'll also need to remember this thread and still feel like it )

 

[Moose9]

Lots of great pics. I have a couple G. rosea's. One adult female (pic below) and a juvenile male. I don't handle mine, but they seem docile, except when feeding. The photo below shows my 5"+ female eating B. lateralis roach about a month after she had molted. Still has that fresh color.

Hmm... Now we're arguing for bad spelling and grammar? As far as I am concerned, if you want to be taken seriously anywhere (not just a lowly "spider forum" you happen to be frequenting), make an effort not to come across as a dolt - especially when giving advice. For the record, good punctuation and grammar goes a long way to accomplishing this. I'm not saying you have to be an English major but at least throw a period in your 200 word sentence.

And, yes - If you have some special word you use to refer to something and someone asks what you mean, you be much better off just answering the question than being a jerk about it.

Right then Joe...
First off , my gripe is about people picking on others because their literary skills leave a lot to be desired......on a spider forum too which must take the cake.
Surely the spiders welfare should come before this.....Or maybe not in America,you tell me?
Yes,I have chosen to frequent your forum but if this is a problem with you Joe,I can always stay on this side of the pond.

You did......Thread started, got off-topic, and despite the honest efforts to bring it back to the point, we're still discussing grammer. Someone, somewhere along the line thought it would be fun....and we all jumped right in!!!

Grammar. ;P

Rofl! I was thinking about it, but I'm glad you got here before me. ;P

Grammar - ruined by the internet, text messaging, and most likely, World of Warcraft.

Here is a great video about how the current generation is aggressively destroying the english language. Mos Def introduces Taylor Mali, who has a great point about how people talk.

I'm convinced it mostly started with rap music. Don't get me wrong, I like some rap but the lyrics to most of them are downright ridiculous. I swear they just make up word for the sake of rhyming - whether it goes with the theme of the song or not.

With kids these days wanting to be all "gansta" and crap, it's just snowballed from there...
