Tarantulas and Spiders

Just any old sticks??

Wow between being at work and screwing around on facebook I've missed quite a bit around here! Nice to see some new faces in this thread.

Mike things are looking good over your way! Guess I kept the wrong irminia girl! Yours is friggin huge compared to the ones I kept for myself! I think I can get a few more if you want another one. You need to get one of these large juvie emerald skeletons before they are all gone :P

Yep. Just get some twigs and wash them off a bit. You can bake them too if u want but if theyre really think they'd burn. And you only need thin ones.

I despise the ephebopus genus. Once my emerald skeleton is big enough i'll probably setup a sweet enclosure for it. Thats the only one i want

Nice pics mike!

Looks like your irminia need a new home :p
I have a ton of transfers coming up.

One of my OBTs not being so happy.

Do the smaller baby T's run really fast???

You have big hands Mike.....lol. I think Tigra (irminia) is fixin to molt soon...he booty is fairly large, but shes refused crickets for the last two weeks. Shes got about a 3.5" legspan now.

sent from my incubator

All spiders are pretty fast, they need to be to catch prey.
The "fast ones" are just really, really fast!

Some are also real fast for short burst while others can just keep going.

So, what about the 2 I'm getting from you? What if they accidentally get away from me? I don't want them to run away. LOL

They are on the slower end of the scale. Short burst.
Best thing to do until you get used to them. Do unpacking, transfers and feedings in a large empty tub. (Like a snake tub) That way if they get away you can see them and catch them. Have a 16oz clear cup ready. Main thing is just stay calm. :)
