Thanks for trying to watch it Eric :salute: My T. stirmi is one of my favorites but she also hands down rquires the most upkeep out of all my tarantulas. She has the bigggest tank (along with my parahybana), 20g long, of all my tarantulas. She is the only T in my collection with supplemental heating (she actually has her own herpstat hooked up to control the temps). And I am constantly monitoring the cage temps and humidity at all times. I would love to get 1 or two more females but with the amount of time, requirements, space etc they need to be treated like a queen is a bit much so I am not sure I will ever get any more. I have pretty much tried to narrow it down to where I have 1 of each tarantula I like but a big variety of different ones. Instead of multiples of the same tarantulas (l. violaceopes I have a confirmed female and a sling that I am 99% sure is a female and I am getting another P. metallica sling because my current one is a male). Just personal preference though. I do have a couple of doubles but I pretty much sold the extra multiples if I already had a confirmed female.

LOL - :rofl: Thank you very much for watching and commenting :bow: My P. metallica is pretty cool. He is out and about a lot of the times and has gotten used to (so to speak) tong feeding and does rather well with it. Some of my tarantulas want NO part with being tong fed but eat great when the prey item is just dropped in there. My Xenesthis immanis I used to be able to tong feed but after his last molt will now just catch an attitude and slap the tongs. Once I drop the prey item in there though he eats it with no problem. Tarantulas can change dispisotion, habits and such. Very interesting creatures to watch and work with :gj:
