Thank You, the cyanognathus sling has about 3-3,5 cm legspan. Let's say, about 1,5 inches!

Well, I certainly appreciate your photos. And I look at all the threads...

How many of this species do you have? Asking because I recently lost one to a bad molt... considering whether I am going to replace, and if so, with how many.

 

[priZZ]

I really don't know, with how many You would replace, Your cyanognathus, this is my one and only sling, and since yet, I had no problems. By my experiences are, that Ephebopus spp. are robust, and easy to keep.

My method is, if I buy slings from a species, than allways 3 or 5. Depends on how costly the species is. And if You have 5, You have also a chance, to own females.

Very pretty pictures...makes me a little more angry that my two recent itty-bitty T.purpurea died for no reason I could discern

And..I must ask; what is that lovely black substrate you are using? (Towards bottom of page 3.) Is it black peat?? Or is it some sort of freak American-version 'organic potting soil' made of all kinds of things?

Hi Vys!

And..I must ask; what is that lovely black substrate you are using? (Towards bottom of page 3.) Is it black peat?? Or is it some sort of freak American-version 'organic potting soil' made of all kinds of things?

It's normal black earth, we use them for plants. But Ts can dig very good in it.

 

[Vys]

Aha...is there any fertilizer or limestone in it?
For it looks very good, but here in Sweden you can't get potting soil without limestone and fertilizer, so if that stuff does indeed have it, I might try it myself.

New frames for pictures?
BTW, beautiful Theraphosa apophysis.

Just use normal earth, which is sterile.

New frames for pictures?

Nope, this is just a simple picture "collection". Like by the macro shots of H. lividum and schmidti, and O. hainana.

 

[Vys]

Yeah, but, what does it consist of? Not earth you dug up in your backyard and then microwaved, I guess? Instead, you do indeed refer to some sort of fertilizer and limestone-free 'organic potting soil'-variant like the yankees have? That could be compost, things from the woods, just whatever basically as long as its 'organic'?

'Sterile' doesn't mean 'without fertilizer and limestome' though..I guess? All those nutrients benefit the plant more than bugs and microscopic life, after all?

Feels like I've already had this discussion, before

Anyway, my point with all this is to see if there's 'organic potting soil' in Europe.
