Wow,

I've held this large adult for about 30minutes of pictures and sharing info to others and my hands itched until later on the next day. It was pretty bad - those hairs really do their job at getting logged into the skin.

Here is a pic!
Throughout the whole experience the blondi was fairly calm but did not enjoy it. I would aggree that these guys are defensive but in my experience they are not "extremely aggressive" in general. -I love T.blondi :worship:

(I do not condone the handling of T's - picture for educational purpose only.)

Jag håller tummarna!

Good luck with the blondi Martin! I probably help you out with some slings if you are successful.

Beautiful blondi you have there...


Well, I just rearranged her tank (got some more soil to put in), and NOW I itch. I didn't itch when holding her, but I am now since I tooled around with her enclosure. I'll have to post pictures of that. The itching isn't too bad though, its more a minor annoyance then anything else and its lasted about 10 minutes and its starting to ease off, so its so far so good.

Between 100 and 200. My female laid a sac last year at the previous owner and it contained 198 slings or something like that..

My female has molted once since that sac.. so I hope I get more slings now from her if this mating is succsessful. :}

Hey Johan!! Yes it's pretty much the size of a tennisball. Not really, but almost.

She's actually the biggest blondi I've ever seen IRL.

How big does a female have to be when she is capable of reproducing?

My baby T. blondi molted about a week ago and I figured that I would share a few pictures. The pics aren't that great but they work :) The last picture is after a few hours or a little more.
I know the water dish is too small - It has a new one now :)
