I won't do it again. I wouldn't have done it again even if you hadn't told me it was bad. I haven't done it before. It was a mistake. Thank you for the advice.

Oh, ok. Thank you. I was interested in seeing if the tarantula would react to the laser in its enclosure and would attack it as if it was a cricket (cats attack it). She didn't and I pointed it at her eyes for just a second so I'm not too concerned.

Something off topic. I'm keeping ants and they also can't see red light. A couple of days ago I bought a red laser. I was interested to see if the spiders would react to it. I even pointed it to the eyes of one of them in the end but there was no response. Now I know why.

Hello! I've been interested in African species for a long time but have only two spiders at the moment. I don't know which genus is hybridized and don't want to contribute to the problem if I breed. So, I know that Hysterocrates are messed up. I've also heard the same about Ceratogyrus. Is this...

Thank you for the quick reply! Any others?

The more you feed it, the faster it will grow. It can't die of eating too much. It will just stop eating and then molt. The only problem is if the enclosure's too high. It could fall and rupture its abdomen but that's for a terrestrial and you have an arboreal so it's very unlikely to happen.

And how are you going to keep it?

Thanks! Are you satisfied? Have you had any dead arrivals? Have you ordered small slings? In what parts of the year have you bought from them? I'm from Bulgaria and I know of people who have bought tarantulas from other countries but some weren't so lucky. For example, I know a person who bought...

Hello! I want to ask for European dealers who can ship Ts to other countries. I know some, but not a lot. So, I would like to ask anyone who sees this tread to list the dealers that they know. I think this could turn out quite helpful for a lot of people. I'm starting with these tree...

Hello, I just came from the exotic pet shop with 4 P. smithi slings. I wanted to make a Poecilotheria communal and decided to try with a smithi. There were 2 small enclosures with 3 slings in each one so they transferred one in the enclosure of the other three. At the moment, they are in a small...

P.S. The little hole you see in the corner isn't made by her but by me when I rehoused her. She completely ignores it.

Can somebody answer my question? She started digging a bit but then stopped and sealed the entrance from the outside and is just staying in the open. She's webbed the area where she's staying between the tree bark and the wall but no digging. Any ideas? Is this because she's WC and not used to...

Thanks for the reply. Sorry that I didn't answer earlier but I have headaches (mostly from staying in the net reading about Ts) and mustn't stay on the computer. I decided to keep them separately. I'll breed one of them and make a communal.

Thank you. I thought so too. I just wanted to be sure.

The problem is yours are slings while mine are adults.
