Awww that sucks! I have a Tliltocatl albopilosus ometepe island form that I have the same problem for. He was from the first ever UK sac from the dude that found the sp so there is only Cupcakes mum that is breedable age n obviously that's not on so he will live out his days with me making blankets and tap dancing .
Makes me sad when a female can't be found poor guys .

No females from that sac at all?

He matured much faster then any of the females I was able to find. I even emailed Ray Gabriel the man that named them/found them/ got the first sac but I got no answer.
I was told when he brought Cupcakes mum over he brought 4 other females too but as I said no answer so idk if that's true or not, but I have tried everything I can think of but no female of age.
He just grew to quickly. It was my fault he was one of my first ever t's so he was power fed as a sling n juvie before I knew that wasn't a good thing to do. Now he is probably one moult away from being mature maybe 2 max n I can't find him a lady friend.

Got it. Since he hasn’t matured yet, you could try and keep his feeding schedule to a minimum to delay future molts, you know? It would buy you some extra time to find a female.. maybe? Have you tried the BTS?
(I’m sure you have )

I have slowed him down n put him on my coolest shelf about a year ago now for that reason, hoping it will give me time to find him a lady .
Yep it's how I got Ray Gabriel's email but he is an extremely busy man, constantly travelling finding new sp all over the place so I assume he missed the email or was to busy to answer. I will try again once Cupcake is closer he just hit 5 + inches (5inches dls on the last moult) about 2 months ago so I have a year give or take to get an answer or find a different female. But I am prepared to keep him if I can't find one, gunna give him the best viv I can to live out his days. I don't believe in tiny vivs just because they are male, gunna do laps either way so what's the difference if its 100 laps around a tiny viv or 10 round a big one. Go big or go home applys here imo .
It was why your t's caught my eye in the first place, don't usually see ppl making such beautiful large vivs up for males, makes me smile .

 

[OldFlash]

Great, you’ll find a female sooner or later for sure
And yes, I only rehouse matured males. Until then, everybody gets a nice enclosure, both males and females

That's the way it should be , although I hope to one day be in a position to leave my males in their nice home, I don't want to move them. Ones I am breeding anyways or will be breeding lol. Males I have no mf for get given to ppl that have an mf , if I can find one .

Love how you just casually drop that spood room in , it looks amazing would so be my happy place! T goals for sure, even half done it looks better then 90% of the rooms I have seen..... needs more shelfs though . More t's = more happiness .

N everything crossed for your trangatang, good sign she's sealing herself off .
Glad the big lass is OK too , no better sight then a big beefy female genic 🤍.

I'm glad you got the "almost-by-accident' spider room moment Still got a long way to go to get to what I want
But yes, it's where I spend most of my time, by far
And all fingers crossed on the tarangutan
Thank you so much Charlieeee

I see all . I often used to tease my little brother when I was younger that I could see everything because the cats tell me, they were my spys....he still can't deal with cats to this day . Jks aside though it's beautiful i can fully understand why you like being there, it's where I would be too . I look forward to seeing it completed .

Any time Dan , thank you for sharing, your posts alway make me smile .

I almost forgot to tell you... I got all the Nhandu , I got tripepii and coloratovillosus slings for valentines, they are unsexed but idm just means I get longer with them. I have been so excited but don't know anyone except you that appreciates Nhandu in the same way so sharing lol.

These T's are all so magnificent! And I just absolutely adore the way these enclosures are set up. How do you get such clear and stunning photos of them? And what plants are you using in your enclosure? (the green moss looking ones)

I'm glad you like my enclosures! Thank you! I use my Iphone 11 camera for most of my photos, believe it or not. What really makes good enough photos is good lighting. I have white and yellow led strips on all my shelves, and they really help with the pictures. All my enclosures open from the front, so I always have the doors opened to avoid reflection and that's pretty much it For the plants I use different kinds of moss, mostly hypnum, cushion and star moss. They do pretty good with some light and a few weekly sprays

Hope it helps and thanks again!

 

[DontFearSpiders]

I wish I could get some clear photos like that! Awesome pics! I'll definitely go check out that moss, love the look of it,
