what a beautiful spider!! im glad for you that it turned out the way it did..it looks much better now congrats...and i wanted to ask ne of you...B. vagans owners..where am able to get one of these beautiful Ts?? in the us?

 

[xgrafcorex]

b vagans

i go a half inch b vagans from southernspiderworks.com for 8 bucks.

 

[P. Novak]

thats hecka cool...well do they ship and how much does it cost for shipping? can you pay by cash or do you have to pay by credit card?

 

[xgrafcorex]

cash

i believe it was 20 bucks next day usps, i also got a 3 inch g rosea for 20, got a free g aureostriata, and the vagans for 8. i paid money order.

 

[P. Novak]

soo how would i exactly order one from this place??

 

[xgrafcorex]

ssw

go to www.southernspiderworks.com you can mail them cash/check/money order, or pay with paypal i believe. i sent a money order. they have a list of what they have in stock, but i would email to verify anyway. also, they guarantee live arival but only with certain next day shipping, costs 20 bucks. so i would get 2 or 3 at once, as the shipping didnt change for me. i bought a half inch b vagans, a 3" g rosea, and they threw in a quarter inch g aureostriata for free. basically it seems daft to pay more for shipping than what it is you actually want. unless you REALLY just want one b vagans heh


ps. email them any questions and they will respond very quickly

 

[P. Novak]

soo do you have to mail them the money first..and who do i email cause it shows multiple emails?

well i emailed joel and jason and neither have responded yet..

Right, everytime a live v's dead feeding thread comes up, people always come out with "T's won't eat prekilled yada yada yada" I've never tried feeding verts (dead or alive) to my T's so I've never been able to comment on whether they will or not.
Well one of my Royals decided he wasn't hungry today, and rather than let the little mouse go to waste I thought I'd try a little experiment.
I was fully expecting the T to ignore it but....

She nailed it straight away no messing about at all

I'm not looking forward to cleaning up whats left

 

[cacoseraph]

i think *some/most* t's are MUCH bigger scavangers than ppl seem to think
terrestrials, certainly

centipedes too =P

cool bit of investigating man

very pretty vagans, too

Vagans V's Thawed Mouse

Not a very exciting title ! Nice T you got there....

 

[Crunchie]

All my juvenile tarantulas have taken thawed mice as well, the list includes...

Red Rump (B.vagans)
Greenbottle blue
Brazil Black (G.pulchra)
Chile Rose (G.rosea)
Brazil salmon (L.parahybana)

I've yet to try my T.blondi. :liar:

 

[Waryur]

when you say juv's how big are you talking? To tackle a even a dead mouse i suspect they would nead a little size?

Not if it's a dead and defrosted mouse. The smallest of those tarantulas was my G.pulchra who had a 1.5" legspan at the time.

Of course when I say mouse I mean fuzzy mouse.

It wasn't a very exciting fight

Thanks
