Heya,

just came back from the show with the following:

Unknown T - labeled as "oklahoma brown" and clearly is not - paid $10

T. stirmi? What threw me off is lack of red hairs on abdomen, could be premolt too however. I cleaned out its container and my hands are on fire from touching the substrate, 99% sure it is a stirmi :)




Got 3x singapore blue Ts for $10 each as well, they arent in great shape to be honest but are moving.

Have this "MYSTERY" T that the seller gave me for free. I came home and found it in a death curl (it had extremely dry sub and was very underfed) so i just put it in the ICU. I don't know what it is however, maybe its an OBT or some sort of a baboon? Should i take it out of the ICU? (i wet the papertowels made a tiny waterdish and put a dead dubia nymph near it.




Other show notables: traded my annoying obt slings for blue fang, ornata, boehmei, and some other slings from tarantulas inc!

oh and got my first crested and more drift wood than i know what to do with!

Why would you take it out of the ICU? If it still looks like it does in the pic, its not ready.. Good luck with them.

i didn't take it out, i was just kinda double checking in case its a dry loving specie, but that wouldn't matter with an ICU if it requires it anyway. It's actually up and about now, running around.

What should i do with it guys? Dry or humid environment? Its not an OBT, slings are darker, i dont know what it is but for some reason im thinking its a baboon of some sort.

Thanks!

No idea about the sp. but doesn't matter, slings need moisture anyway. Keep it in a small container and spray hall of it twice a week keeping the other half dry.
