Species Theraphosa blondi

Just remember QUALITY pairings are a good thing to shoot for.
And quantity.

That's what I'm going for...just like you suggested to me earlier. Hopefully I have some eggsacs before too long. Oh, how is your gravid female? Is she due to make a sac soon? Post some pics...I'd love to see her again.

 

[Talkenlate04]

I have not even looked at her in a while. Maybe I should check on her when I get home. She might want another meal.

yeah, do that...and then post some pics! I love seeing that big girl! did you ever post those videos you took of the Blondi matings? Those things were awesome!

 

[Talkenlate04]

I did.....
I like them.

Very cool! Let me know how that goes and when those slings are available!! I believe my OBT dropped her sac on Friday - Spider Day! - there's a large mass on the bottom of her tube web that she appears to be guarding and her abdomen is tiny now...I'm thinking OBT slings before too long!!

just got this straight from the wild a few days ago.
looks around 8+ inches
couple of questions....
whats the difference when they come from the wild?
how do i measure?? legs straight or when the spider is relaxed?
there is some bald spots all over him and they have gone black and shiny?

going to buy a 3ftx12x15 this weekend as his viv is to small at mo, i bought him straight away before he was sold to someone else.


thx

I'd say that its going to molt soon. Give it a chance to get used to its new space( may take a while as its wc). Post on Tarantula Questions and Discussions for more replies. Great looking T.

No. Not pre-molt. The legs do not turn black and shiny when its in pre-molt. Thats the abdomen that turns black.

The legs are just rubbed of its hair.

Being wild caught, You should be on the look out for mites and other parasites. Do you know if its male or female? not that it matters really.make sure your humidity is up there as well as the heat. BUT DO NOT GO OVER 90 degrees, you Can dry them out.

I got this today. I paid WAY too much but I had to have her. ($135)

 

[Philth]

Can you get a closer pic of it? Nice spider, I dont think $135 was too much.

Later, Tom

 

[olablane]

Doesnt sound overpriced to me. Seems like a good deal to me. Nice looking T.

Neither do i that is in fact reasonable for her size and better pics please

 

[mrbonzai211]

Sweet T at a great price. Could use about 6-7 inches more substrate though.

 

[Pokerplayer]

I dont think its overpriced either.
I looks pretty nice and like the others, i would love some up and close pictures

But whats with the dinnerplate??
Are u having a picnic with the blondi or??

 

[Dillon]

Like mentioned above, I would add more substrate to her enclosure. I would ditch the plate and get a new water dish as well. (unless thats a feeding tray or something? i unno )

 

[Pokerplayer]

And maybe start useing the same easy LIVING plants like RobC uses

Plastic just looks like....well...not gonna say it
