[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 178105, member: 33266"] Good morning Phil, The tank is 24L, 18W and 12H (inches) (metric: 61cm, 46, 30). Terra (my son named her) is still very young, her last molt was at 7 inches DLS but she stretched quite a bit since. We also have a sling aphophysis. A little over 20 years ago, when I was living in France, a friend coming back from a trip to French Guyana brought me back a sling blondi in a small match box. It was one of my very first tarantula and I loved her. She had a very bad molt just before adult size (back then I had no clue about the humidity they need) and lost a leg as well as both fangs!!!! I was lucky that she was a very good eater and she had plenty of reserve as her belly was still bigger than a golf ball after the molt. She went on to molt again fairly soon and the leg started to develop (skinny version) as well as two bulky but shorter fangs. She was able to start eating again. She molted once more fast and was pretty much looking like nothing happened except that she was becoming insanely large (probably due to her molting monthly after the bad molt). I had to give her away when I moved to the US, she went to an educational zoo/nature center where a friend was working and was going to take care of her. Do not listen to people who think they are just big brown spiders ;) The Therophosa are some of the most difficult spiders to raise as they often need perfect conditions to pass the first year, but they are also very rewarding when they turn into beautiful and colossal beauties and in the case of the two I already had, they are not aggressive at all. My son and I might have over 30 Ts, Terra is by far one of our favorite and the one that fascinate my son the most. [ATTACH type="full" align="left"]48215[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
