Coming back for some closure, before anything thanks to everyone who helped in this thread, I appreciate it. The other day I heard him drumming alone and I felt sorry for him, I mean I know it really doesn't make any difference, but eh. I tried my luck and found someone who had a female in my...

I live in Portugal, so I guess that's harder to pull off. But thanks! I think the way the pattern looks on the abdomen and the fact that the abdomen looks smaller is a given too, right? What setting did you use to do that to the picture?

The T hasn't been in that container for about 2 years. She has been in 30x30x40 glass terrarium. And will continue to be, just trying something different with it.

Just messed around with this T today and remembered I had a post in here. Might as well update. About 5 or 6 inch all pread out. I suspect it is a male, if anyone could confirm. I'm remodeling the enclosure, I might post something here when its done.

Thanks for the feedback kormath. The little bugger seems to be doing just fine, it has molted again the last few days. :)

I followed the previous advice in the upgraded enclosure. The first one seemed a bit small for the T now.

Hey guys, just wanted to say that the little bugger molted on the last few days. Seems to be just fine, although he hasn't eaten for a while, but that's expected. The major difference I can see it's the legspan, the body size looks almost the same to me. Happy holidays

I was just wondering, I intend in feeding it more than once a week. So far i gave it 2 crickets and they are gone. I think they were too small for it though, because I never caught the spider eating them. I think it digested the crickets very quickly. Would a cricket about the size of the body...

Thanks for the comments guys. How often should I feed the bugger? I've read that if I feed it every other day it will grow faster. But just for a guideline, what is the least I should feed it? At least once a week?

Here are the changes I made today. I think it ate the cricket I've placed there the other day. I didn't find it. Just weird that I didn't see the spider eating it. Cheers

Thanks for the reply Chubbs. I will definitely make the holes without the T there. What I said might give the impression that I would make the holes with the T in there. What I meant about stressing the T, is that I will handle it again after it was shipped to me so recently (I have the T only...

Thanks for the replies and the welcoming once again guys, appreciated. I had no idea it would molt in it's burrow. Good to know! Alright will do near the bottom. Tomorrow I will add the vent holes and bottle cap. This way I can also check if she ate the cricket as well, so I don't get...

Thanks for the feedback MassExodus. I agree with you, I only remembered of doing so after housing the T. I will most likely do it tomorrow. A few holes in 2 of the sides. Should the holes be near the top or more towards the center of the container? I hope I don't stress the little bugger too...

Thanks for the reply Nicolas. I think I have the space for a bottle cap. I wasn't sure if I should use one already given the size of the T. My only concern is if the T will have enough space to molt if I use all the space at the bottom. Cheers

Hey guys, first time posting. I've recently acquired a P. regalis sling, although I've had a G. rosea for 5 years and a P. murinus for 2. Since I've never cared for a sling I wanted to be sure I'm doing everything alright with it. The sling is about 4cm or so (legspan). Does everything...
