    Re: Tarantulas and Spiders

    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.

    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.

    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

    Chaco out for a stroll


    My bigger OBT is pulling down her web. Might be getting ready for a molt.



    LPs are ready for a new home. They are getting big.

    Here are the enclosures carlson.


    Arboreal on the left and the one on the right is flipped for burrowing. (H. lividum)

    A. metallica


    My smaller P. irminia.
    Have her set up a little different.



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

    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

    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.
