So sorry for your loss. I just lost my versi not too long ago as well. Maybe like six months ago? I was so devastated. I got her as a sling and she was fine.. webbed like crazy, ate like crazy, vicious little thing. Then all of a sudden after about a year she died of unknown causes. She (or he I...

Awe! Congrats on the new gal/guy. I have a bad habit of rescuing the T's from my local pet stores too! I can't even go in them anymore, I have to send someone else in because I seriously can not leave without buying them. It's so sad to see them in there with improper care. :( Although I have a...

I'll share one or two of the funny things my T's do.. My Avic avic is a food lover and she almost knows it falls in from the sky because when she gets hungry, she waits with her front legs near the opening of her enclosure. Also, my E. murinus apparently must not know that she can dig in her...

Honestly I hate pet stores. They just make me sick all together. All the animals in there are not treated to the best of their abilities and it just ticks me off beyond belief. I mean yeah pet stores are wonderful when you are looking for a pet and it's not that I hate the idea of a pet store...

Yeah I used to shop at these stores until they started selling Old Worlds and now I can't bring myself to be promoting them. They are selling things such as Thai Tiger, Stout Leg Baboon, Pokies, and OBTs. It's insane. I guess some guy came in and bought 6 tarantulas in one day from the one pet...

Roo.. That makes since but these stores that are selling the old world around me are little local businesses that have had the same people since I was a kid. It just makes me sad that there isn't more basic training about talking to people about what they are getting themselves into you know? :/...

Okay, so I am going to go off on a rant for a minute here. Two of my local pet shops sell lots of tarantulas. They say they have people who are "reptile and arachnid people" to answer questions on them but they have no idea what they are talking about. Also, at both of these pet shops, they sell...

I have some but not the best ones cuz they run as soon as I take the picture lol. But yeah I saw and adult at a show not too long ago and thought she was a beaut so when my friends had babies I decided to get some!

Thanks! They all seem healthy and have had molts from all of them. They all move around and don't seem "sickly" I guess. I just am so in love with them so I'm hoping they all turn out to make it pretty far along :)

Is he mature? Does he have bulbous palps and tibial hooks? My mature male did this. It is a sperm web and it's how they get the sperm in their palps to prepare for the ladies ;)

Alright, so I have seven LP slings and some don't eat (or at least I never see it because I don't feed live to my slings) and so they are about a fourth of the size of some others. I know they normally don't grow at the same pace but I am a little worried as they are some of my first slings. I...

I would also suggest LP... I have seven slings, no adults but have seen them as adults and they are big and BEAUTIFUL. I think they are one of the prettiest ones to be honest.

My frustrating moment is that for some reason 3 out of my 4 G. roseas poop all over. It's so bad. Like almost as bad as my Avic. Like why do you have to poop so much?! I mean I guess they are healthy and digesting correctly if they poop so much but holy crap. And... My OBT has a fascination with...

I leave a water dish with clean water in it for her :) They are definitely prissy when it comes to their substrate being wet (or at least my four are) so as long as they have their water dish to drink from, it's just enough for them :) Also sometimes when the humidity gets too low I spray her...

She is probably just about to molt :) Mine is a fatty lol and she doesn't eat enough to be overweight.
