[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 158366, member: 26980"] This guy has done a lot of interesting things with his tarantulas. [MEDIA=youtube]XyMJmNv7GcQ[/MEDIA] In this case, wouldn't it be better if the palps were removed well before the molt would happen? Maybe very early premolt ??? In theory, the T would be sterile but able to survive for quite some extra time. I assume that palps would be removed just as a bad leg is removed, right? Essentially, you would use temperature or nitrogen to paralyze it. Then you would attach some type of clip to the palps BUT not actually remove the palps yet. Lastly, so the T would be able to close the hemolymph valves, you would remove it after the T became fully awake assuming that it didn't drop the palps naturally. I'd be 10x happier if I could get him to a breeder, but failing that, why not try to keep him for another year or two? Heck, he'd be just as impressive and even larger!! ....in theory... [/QUOTE]
