The childs normal and the 900g male were both in 28 q tubs. All the other were in 16q tubs.

16qt....WOW. :weirdface

Well, the spider eats just about anything you put in front of him. Sames goes for the little boys normal male and the female. The other two males, the 'mean' one and the 'nice' one have refused frozen thawed. The mean one will hit anything warm, hand, rat, mouse, but will not take it or latch, so simple defensive tags. The other male acts somewhat interested but not really. They have never had frozen thawed before so will offer fresh kill now that is has been two weeks plus. Fresh kill was what they were reported to be eating before. They are all in the same rack, and seeing how there is one female could she be causing the two boys to go off feed? Thanks!

She could be. This time of year they can really be a pain and there isn't much we can do about it. As long as you are providing proper temperatures/humidity and offer them food. Eventually they will eat.

What a sad story. I hate when people don't take care of their pets, it's so cold hearted. Why would you have a pet that you are afraid of? for that matter... How do you effectively sell animals that you are afraid of? Anyway, I'm sure you have had a lot of people interested in your offers but if you still have the spider I would be interested in talking with you about adopting him/her. Msg me if you are interested. I live in Arizona so shipping shouldn't be too bad, we'll see. Good for you in rescuing the lot of them. When I read your story my first thought was NO! Don't pay him! Tell him that you'll take them off his hands and give them the attention they need, for free, or you can call the ASPCA, PEDA, the Health Dept., Animal control, and anyone else who will listen. Big guy or not the threat of facing an organization that could hit him in the pocketbook... well... enough said.
