Split enclosure failure

[Aaronsp10]

Your gonna get flagged for that language use, if your not aware.

Edited, but it remains in all the quotes.. sorry

 

[GingerC]

Seriously? Op?

Why not buy the RIGHT enclosures this time while you're at it?

I didn't realize you were the one posting the other thread. I really hope you are more, way more careful with the two OW you apparently have as well.
I read that thread just now...i was like this the entire time .
Why why why didn't you listen??

Er, I hate to bring this post back up, but why did you quote me? That wasn't OP, that was just my stupid, light hearted response right there.

To be honest although swearing shouldn't be used now and again it becomes a necessity.

There are no vulgarities that the average 11 year hasn't heard or used.

Altough I completely agree with you (seriously) and I mean, completely... there's a reason for that: if we start to use those (innocents words IMO considering how the world of today run) words even if the context full matches, then others would and a nothing for the situation to turn into out of control 'mode'.

Irony: I have a nice 'advan PM collection' for my weakness to fall into that

Wow, what a thread. Like an old Mike Tyson fight, it didn't last that long. Love the Dutch fire. Dude, don't piss her off.
But sitting back reading it after the flames are out and it's smoldering, OP, you messed up even after being warned. Learn from it and move forward. Don't repeat. Side note, the guy in me would replace, but it's a dumb move. The H lividum, um I have over 80 tarantulas and I don't see myself ready for that satanic creature. You did look like you were trolling btw.
I'm glad you apologized to Andrea, she's super cool and a good resource. Again moving forward, learn from the many aspects of this. This board is a good place. Later

And I officially don't care anymore.

By the sounds of it, your female got beaten up pretty badly. So, in your arrogance and decision to ignore the advice from keepers with decades of experience, you lost a MM and will possibly lose a female that may be older than you are. In short, yeah, people are allowed to be upset. When deaths happen due to not only negligence but also blatant dismissal of solid advice, you can't expect much different.

I just don't understand the attitude of many of these new members. My ignore list is getting larger.

Completely agree Chris. If I didn't have a near overwhelming urge to kill human males, have pets I won't leave and had the money I'd definitely come and buy you a few ales.

what is OP?

 

[EulersK]

The only reason I haven't ignored him is because he clearly understands that he made a mistake. I'm done helping with this thread and with that female, but I'd be willing to offer help in the future.

That rhymed

If I got that as a rhythm I'd instantly kill the parents.

 

[cold blood]

I seriously doubt shes a 31 year old spider

Why? I estimate my female to be at least that old....its almost certainly WC, so it could be even older...could be younger, too though

Listen maybe i shouldnt have posted at all... it was negligence and preventable...
Im sorry if i offended anyone. I enjoy this forum and dont want to be an outcast

Yeah, horrible incident, but in reality, you posting this is something we can use to point out the dangers to others considering divided enclosures...its a learning experience for you, and can be a more effective learning experience for others....this documentation could provided the info that may stop others from this divided enclosure experiment and may have stopped you had it already been out there.

So as bad as it is, I will say thanks for having the balls to post it and take the heat...,most would hide this mistake, and that helps no one down the line.

Agreed... i messed up... can we move forward now

Agreed...admitting that is nice to hear...moving forward is what we should all be doing.

Your gonna get flagged for that language use, if your not aware.

And you will get flagged for posting it in your quote...which is also a violation. I would suggest that everyone quoting the bad language go edit their posts.

Whilst this conversation was taking place she decided to go back to work on the make again.. should i attempt to take hin from her or just let her finish?

Damage is done, let her have the meal.....she should be good for 6 months.

Original Poster/Original Post.

Some of the most experienced keepers here don't mince their words, but I wouldn't take it personally.

(This rant has nothing to do with you, but I still quoted because it's the same subject and I wanted to have it said)

Advice is definitely very useful, but I never want a salty or "sugar coated" response... I just want a matter-of-fact answer to my questions, without someone putting words in my mouth and assuming I'm about to go abuse a tarantula.

Take OP, for example. At one point in the thread, they were asking about a certain species, which happened to be unsuitable for beginners. They got angered responses, even though it was just an honest question. How were they supposed to know that ahead of time? It's like questions are a bad thing here. Being salty is a lot more offensive than it is informative, but that's all we have on these boards. (Honestly, I have no idea why I'm still here. I don't even own any Ts...)

@GingerC
Sorry...I didn't mean to criticise your post, it was aimed towards aaron, sort of like 'is this actually what you'll do (points at your posts)??, seriously. Could've done that without quoting you, sorry.

@Aaronsp10
Apology accepted, see inbox. Fortunately the insult was deleted before I had a chance to read it.

Thanks for backing me up guys, appreciate it very much.

@Walker253
'Dutch Fire?? Now you're making me blush

 

[Moakmeister]

Think this will make up for it?

ABSOLUTELY NOT, ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARILY VICIOUS TARANTULAS WITH POWERFUL VENOM, I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

Ya know, the ONLY way I could ever imagine a divided enclosure to work would require mire effort than it would ever be worth. I don't even know if I can describe it so it makes sense.
I think it would require a sliding channel down the center of each side of the tank. And a divider would need to be inserted across the top center of the lid into a channel, as well plus a channel at the bottom of the tank and the whole works would be used as a sort of "drawer" mechanism with no gaps resulting. It would take time and ingenuity, and really, for what purpose? To save a couple of feet of space, maybe?

Your misinterpreting, what you call an "angered response" was actually sound advice. Impulse buying that C.lividus would've been a mistake.

It's all good, I was just really confused lol

I didn't say it was bad advice, I just mant the agression wasn't necessary.

 

[Moakmeister]

It may just be me, but it's a LITTLE bit hard to feel sympathy for this story when you straight-up said in the first post that you were told not to use a divided enclosure and you deliberately ignored it.
