    Re: Frost haitian brown

    i've never kept this species of tarantula before.. but a lot of tarantulas are known for going long periods of time without eating. i had one who didn't eat for 4 months before, and then started eating again and is doing just fine.
    how long ago was its last moult?

    Hi,

    How big is he and do you have close ups of his pedipalps?

    Just wondered if any colour change was maturity related and he'd hit the magic age or something.

    it's ok if they go for some time without eating, it's normal. just keep offering crickets until it eats. its also possible that its surroundings might be too cold?
