Really ill have to try that because right now my one female is at 68-73.
Thats borderlining on the lower temps I'd keep Tarantulas at. Ever thought about investing in a room heater of some sort? Maybe an oil filled radiator? You'd definately get more activity out of all your T's in warmer temps.

HA...... I do have a room heater but its like -40 at times and have a hard time keeping a constant High temp. due to windows.so lowered it to make it easier to keep at a regulated temp.But am going to attempt insulate and board up the windows in the T. room.which I think will make it easier to regulate temps.

Probably stating the obvious here, but that is a gigantic T! she is a pretty girl as well.

I've always wanted a big T. The largest I've ever gotten was 6". I've got some money saved up to go a little crazy with the inverts at the reptile show though {D

I decided it was time to hold my biggest T. Blondi, Zilla. I tried to hold her but she didn't fit in my hands...so she just basically wandered around and over my hands. She is a big old girl - for something of a size reference, keep in mind that I am 6'5", 260lbs.

Thanks! I'm not scared of her so I'm calm when I hold her and that keeps her calm...mostly. :D

Rob - you are my favorite whacko. :clap: :D :clap:

I had to watch that video from between my fingers and my heart is actually pounding now....and now I'm eye-balling Ogra. {D
If you can do that with Zilla at 11" ~ then I can certainly do it with Ogra at 9". :razz:
I'll see what I can do about borrowing Wade's video camera once jbrd is home to hold it! (my money says he ends up holding his girlie, too!) :clap:

Dani ~~ God Bless you dear for being the most supportive wife ever!
You are indeed the Whoa-man!! :worship:
Zilla is big enough to warrant a dart-gun, rather than a measley plastic bowl! {D

Yes, I am a wacko! LOL But I actually felt calmer holding Zilla than I have with a lot of my - much smaller - T's. I think me and her just connect. :D Must have something to do with the fact that we're both big!! LOL
Yes, I couldn't do any of this without Dani's help and support...and she's holding Zilla next - it'll give you all a much better idea of her size (Zilla's...not Dani's...LOL).
