    G. Pulchra sling

    Just keep the bowl filled and she will be ok. She will find it when she wants it.

    Help! New owner!

    All my A.geniculata don't burrow. Some have a shallow one where they sit sometimes but most just hang around the waterdish.

    Filling the water bowl/ not seen the T drink.

    I always keep the water filled. With all my A.geniculata I always spray a bit more to have some moisture in the substrate but will dry the substrate fully out again. The 'attack' to the pipet will be foodresponse. The A.geniculata are big eaters and every movement will trigger foodresponse.

    Jittery since molt

    After a molt you get a completley 'new' spider. They can change for a friendly giant to a hysteric idiot :) Or it could be a mature male now (because the longer legs remark)

    Bald patch with dark outline!?

    Arachnoboards is the not nicest place for new owners. But there is very much info there. I only read there if I want to find something. I wouldn't worry about the spot. AFter a molt everything is back to normal. It could be from kicking hairs from stress, it could be for creating a bed to molt...

    New hobbyist. Learning what i can!

    I don't make it that wet, but when I put it in an enclosure I keep it there with the doors open for atleast a week so the top parts can dry out. Even than the first week of a new spider the don't want to sit on the substrate :).

    Sorry for late response, had a busy week. But I always thought the mesh thing will not be a big problem. You hardly hear people about it. I bought 24 second hand exo-terra and was getting them ready for some rehouses I needed to do badly. I rehouse 6. Exactly 2 days later my B.klaasi was...

    Reclassifications

    Many changes (I don't like). Abstract The genus Lasiodora C. L. Koch, 1850 is revised and morphological cladistic analyses carried out including all of its species, as well as most of those of the related genera Vitalius Lucas, Silva & Bertani, 1993, Nhandu Lucas, 1983, Pterinopelma Po****...

    The glas one looks like it has a top screen/mesh or how it's called like an Exo-Terra. That's not a good option. They could get stuck it with their toes. Me personal don't like acrylic, but that's personal. I have glas made at my personal wanted size and holes, or the standard exo-terra mini...

    Would a GBB be better in a terrestrial or arboreal enclosure?

    I use an enclosure with a little more room on top. I put some plants, corkbark pieces and some branches in there so it can web around these things. They never sit on the ground and always on something. Often the top or frontdoor :D But also on their web, corkbark or whatever you put in there.
