SO true. I've added a few just in the last few days. M. robustum, P. nigricolor, and P. subfusca. That's on top of the already long list lol.

I figured out my rose hair loves mealworms. She hasn't eaten anything in 2 years and she finally molted so I thought maybe she'd eat. She still wasn't touching roaches (she's never eaten one, doesn't seem to recognize them as food) or even crickets, which she used to eat. I tried a tiiiiiiny mealworm I have for the slings and she acted like it was crack. I bought her some proper sized mealworms today and she's had 2 already.

That's awesome that she is eating again! It's crazy how long they can go without food.

Jeez two years that's nuts, gonna drive me insane if one of mine does that.

When you read about the really long strikes, its almost always G. rosea.

Lol k so ill have to watch my rosea an if she goes long time ill give a worm haha thats nuts how they dont die

Ive found out that Pinky (A. urticans) also likes waxworms. And i love my P. irminia too! Kind of "catlike". And you think urs looks kewl now, wait till it gets older! ;)

sent from my incubator

Yes they are cat like.
My bigger girl is very sure footed. I haven't seen her use her speed in a while but when she moves, she knows exactly where to step.

My versi and obt are already webbing. The obt is already moving dirt too. He's gunna be a fun one to watch. I LOVE going to bed and then waking up to see what they've done. It's usually the first thing i do when i wake up, just check and see what they've done. Or, the first thing i do when i get home from work. I'm amazed at how much renovating my boehmei has done. I wonder if they spend that much time redecorating in the wild? It looks like the irminia has made some tunnels but i couldn't find her, even when i opened the cup and looked around with the flashlight. Are cats good at hiding too haha?!

Of course cats are good at hiding! When i lived in Philly i adopted a cat to keep away the mice, and when i first got him i couldnt find him for the first three days! I finally found him....inside the piano! After that, he found a new hiding spot lol

You won't see much of the irminia at that size. You can catch them out but they dart away pretty quick. When mine was around an inch, she made one of the coolest homes I have ever seen.
After I transferred her my cambridgei moved in and never changed a thing.

Mike
Your OBT was a little smaller than the others but that one had some awesome webbing and tunnels.

I feel sorry for those that are not into spiders :p
They are missing out on such a cool part of the animal world.

My versi has not webbed yet at all. :( hasnt really done much except wander around her terrarium...

Haha ok. Welcome!!

got new enclosures today gonna go transfer every body! wish me luck! Found a killer yard sale. a pet store went out of business and had all of there inventory sitting out for sale. i grabbed all of the kritter keepers and exo terra nanos they had. paid $16 each for 3 8x8x8 and 2 8x8x12. also picked up 2 x-large and 5 large kritter keepers for $5 each. everything brand new in the box. picked up a boat load of miscellaneous supplies too all of it was at least half off the store prices! I spent $175 at a friggin yard sale. lol

Nice!

Good luck. Keep a catch cup handy :p

Haha I always have a catch cup and a person on stand by when I transfer! My old habits when I had venomous snakes kicked in when I started dealing with T's. Always have qualified back up at the ready and take a break if you start to get rattled or trade out with the other person. All 13 slings transferred without a problem! No escapes. One of the irminias gave me a run for my money it didn't wanna come out for nothing. But P. Regalis was surprisingly easy this time. Didn't take photos except 1.

Molt was still limp.
P. Irminia

So Pretty!

Ugh, I'm going to have to transfer all the OBTs soon. That includes my bigger one.

I'm on round 2 of feeding tonight. I'll try to get some pics. :)

Yay pics ha good luck with obt transfers :)

Wish you were closer to me I'd be more than happy to help with transfers just for the experience.

I need a sign that says - I'll transfer OBTs for food. :p

Speaking of OBTs.
Mike here is where yours used to live. I tore it up a bit and it doesn't show up good in the pics. Also I can now take out its molt :p

Have her set up a little different.

Like my bigger girl, she never leaves her bark hide.

And my female A. versicolor getting a drink!!!!

Are OBT's that bad where i shouldn't even try and take out his molt? He WAS very fast, but i still felt in control for the most part. Now, if he was a pokey whose venom could knock me on my ass, i'd be way more nervous lol.

I don't think OBT venom is any less than a Poeci, now I need to go read some bite reports :D

Her molt was way down in a tunnel. I didn't think it was worth it :p
Plus I don't want them to risk tagging metal tweezers.

I thought it was. And if it wasn't, then screw that, i'm getting a P. regalis once i get used to the obt! :D

I'm a pretty big guy, so irregardless of the potency, i don't think it'd effect me as bad as most. :p

The bite reports I read of OBTs was similar to bad hognose reactions.

Looks like some of the worse are cramping for a few days, vomiting, swelling and pain.

Seems like Poeci is worse but I'm guessing more people have them.

No matter what I don't want to find out :p

Seeing as though i usually have to take like double the dose of any sorta meds (allergy meds, tylenol, ibuprofen, Benadryl etc.) to have them take effect, i feel like the venom would have the same effect. Or, in this case, lack there of.

Sounds like a good excuse to call out of work! I've only done it once or twice. Telling them i got nailed by a big orange tarantula would be funny haha.

When feeding do you just pull the big part off an drop the roach on to the floor if their chilling up on top like that?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

Just tilt the top part back and crack it open.

Do they find the roach if its on the floor?

Just go get one now you big Nancy! Haha j/k

P. Regalis was one of the first slings I bought. I transferred them the day I brought them home and again today. Granted they were .75" when I got them and only about 1.5" now but no where as bad as I thought it would be. They were hanging out on there bark. I used 12" stats picked up the bark. Put it in the new enclosure and chased it off the bark. Now the one did want to fight with the transfer stick but other than that it went smooth. Now we just gotta wait til they are about 6" and see if they are still that easy. Lol

Lol at six inches the fight with the transfer stick will seem a little more equal sided to them.

@ 6" ill switch from a chop stick to a drum stick.

2"x4" lol

I want one of those safety tents with the gloves like the CDC would have :p

Mike I throw in a couple of baby dubia here and there but I like to feed those guys pinheads. Just because they are move active. Once they get bigger I'll give them dubia.

You just got to reason with them guys. A stern "Hey! Now stop that! Go into your home like a good spider." They'll be like "Wow man sorrry didn't mean to get you all bothered. " bam easy transfer

Haha 14 dollar profit each tank
