Tarantulas and Spiders

I don't see the little flap indicating it's a female so this is screaming male at me

I'm not sure lol he looks pretty tho! How much less of a life span do male avics have?

Hard to tell from the pic but I don't see anything that would make me guess at female. :(

All depends on how you raise them carlson. Keeping them cooler and not feeding them as much, they won't grow as fast.
After a male does his final molt, I would say he has about a year or so..?

Carlson - my Chacos have not molted yet.
Mike - 2 of my vagans did molt.

C. darlingi update.
First meal with me. They all have made little webs.

Sweet, i hope mine does soon!

I think that if the condensation in my gbb's tank doesn't go away im gunna take out the substrate, bake it to dry it out, then let it cool and put it back in. I read that they like it dry and that premix just has a lot of moisture in it so like 1/3 of the wall on her little cup has condensation on it. I have 6 holes in the lid too

K Wednesday ill crush a head an put one in an hope she takes it

I'm pretty sure it's a male since that's what others have told me. One males mature, time varies. I've heard of males lasting only 2 weeks, to rarely making it to 1-2 years. When I had a mature male L. parahybana he last a little over a year as well as when I had a mature male B. emilia. At least I know people that have mature female versis so once he matures I'll contact them to see if they're interested in a breeding project.

Good idea Mike. Don't keep her 100% dry because she is still small. So her humidity will need to stay higher until she is around 2" then you slowly move them over to being dry.

My MM A. avic lasted about 3 months. :(
I bought him as a her.

Yeah give her a dead one this week and see if she takes it. Just leave it in over night.


My Curly Hair is just got done molting. Just missed it!! Still on her back.
