Huh, just noticed my G. rosea, the first T I got and the one who got me into them, has developed tibial spurs and palpal bulbs since apparently his last molt. I wonder how much longer he'll live?

That sucks :/
G. rosea will live longer than some. I have read a few months. Some make it longer.

I try to feed mine at least twice a day. they are old enough now that all the years of headaches have paid off. FREE LABOR! lol

Coleslaw, I'm sure you already know. Most likely he is going to be very active and won't eat, then become weak toward the end.
Are you going to try and find him a mate?

Do people normally trade their MMs to breed and recieve a few slings outta the deal?

If we all stay close, I hope we can do some loans if and when we get males.
I like dealing with people I can trust.

I have no plans on breeding so i'll be happy to send you any of my MM I end up with if you can use them. especially if I get bunches of slings out of it. lol

So males are more rare than females?

No Kodie. Males just dont live long compared to females. When theyre pets, living long is always a plus. Breeders on the other hand will happily take your mature male cuz they could use him while hes "ready". ;) T keepers who dont plan on breeding want long lived pets...females. So breeders make deals with pet owners who discover their male T has matured. I think its a good deal.

Hmm wonder if mine has molted lately. She has the burrow set up to her liking so she jus chills where I can just see her.

I'm definitely selling/trading away any of mine that end up as males, or at least try to.

Yea, I think I probably will try to see if I can find someone who wants to use him to breed. I'm not ready to try breeding T's yet, if ever, and I don't want the poor guy to die without ever gettin' some. Hopefully I can find someone in AZ, I'd rather not deal with shipping. Weird thing, he hasn't eaten anything in the last 2 years, just finally molted and he's eaten a couple times since. He has been acting kinna weird though.

If you tap on a MMs cage can you get them to drum back too you??

Keep in mind there is always a chance you could lose your male when breeding. Even with the most experienced breeders do suffer the occasional loss when breeding.

Some times you just gotta let the spouse do things that makes them happy. Look at what she has subjected my poor baby chacos to.

well she thought it would be cute! she asked if she could decorate some of the T cups. I said knock yourself out. (mind you she was holding some leaves and a skull when she asked)

Black jungle is having a sale on stuff. I think it's like 20% off. There stuff is mainly geared towards frogs and plants, but I'm sure some of it could work for T's. Like the plastic exo terra kritter keeper things

I may be able to tell you after my vagans molts again... Its prolly like 2.5inches now. Well, it may not be mature though, but a male.

Once my boehmei and vagans molt again (they both seem pretty close to) i'm going to sell/trade them because i wanna get more baboons!!

The brachy's are cool, but now that i have a couple months of experience, they're decidedly just not my thing. :gj:

You want some speed an attitude mike lol

yesterday there was a huge spider in my room. I didn't kill it because I don't like killing things. the next morning it was gone. I expect it back soon. I believe he's built a home outside of my window, comes in to eat the bugs stuck on the web above my window, goes out to eat the bugs stuck on the web out there. he has a wonderful life.

They are all over my house.

What's that saying, you are always within 10' of a spider. I know its true here :p

Lol...im sure at your house, youre within 10" of a spider...

Just bought some new cages (containers) to prep for when my T's get bigger. I got 6 medium ish ones and 4 4"x4"x7" ones, that are the cube type sorta like what rich uses for a lot of his.

And i bought 25 of the smaller vials for shipping slings because i figured they'd come in handy lol.

Big plans for the future, Mikey??

Well my T's are gunna grow and need bigger homes. Then we'll work on adult enclosures down the road lol
