For those that collect or observe specimens in the wild, would a general rule of thumb be that mature male tarantulas are the sex most often seen roaming around, and that females and juveniles would most often be found in their burrows or lairs?
What started me thinking about this, from the couple MM T's I've had. They are the most active of my spiders.
If that is generally true across most species, wouldn't it hold true that a good % of WC varieties be male?
Specifically with Crassicus lamanai, I can't recall anyone having posted a male being available...
Very neat species. I'd like to see be more available for breeding to the US hobby. They are easy to pick up and sex as they mostly "play dead" when disturbed. I have seen them advertised as "Belize Cinnamon" or "Cinnamon Teddybear". That's a good name for them if most are like my WC female.
