My friend made the point that he didn't have pronounced hooks, and the pedipalps were very small and undefined.
Clearly pedipalps, but it's like a baby's penis. You know what it is, you know it's male, but it's not as clearly defined until later.
I'm still new, so I will never reject advice, or...
I couldn't tell you. He'd had a grasshopper not long before he began to curl. Maybe a day? And it was sudden.
He was found under a chair, about a week and a half ago. His abdomen was very small, and when he curled it was even smaller.
It wasn't until I'd basically accepted his fate that I...
He's a lot better, he was apparently just dehydrated.
I don't know why, but he was not responding well. Now that he's gotten some water in him. He's moving around much better.
I realized his Pedipalps weren't big enough. So he's not even matured. I called my friend up who's far more...
You will not believe this!
My friend and I decided that since he was still semi alive, we'd give him some water, I had a syringe and dropped water right by his mouth parts. And I put a damp cloth down.
This morning he's not curled up, or anything! He's actually standing on all legs and...

A C. Fasciatum and he's still alive. And I also noticed he's not got the little boxing gloves, the ones he has, or rather one, is small, and I don't see a fully developed hook at the end!
But he's going into a curl!
I know all species won't look like this...
Yeah, he got grasshoppers a plenty, and he was well cared for. I just wish he'd been around a little longer.
He was my first, and probably last for a while. Since, I don't know where that female is.
He was however, a great T. while he lasted. :)
Late last week, I got a little boy that was traipsing around my house.
He was a Costa Rican Tiger Rump. (C. Fasicatum)
I kept him in a rather large tupperware container, with some dirt, branches and a couple leaves for hiding. I was going to make him more comfortable once he settled in, but I...
@Enn49 Oh. Well, I only just learned the old name xD Dammit
Yeah, there was a gorgeous female on my wall that I should have nabbed.
But I wasn't thinking because at the time I was like. "Spiders as pets? I like spiders, but not as pets." Then suddenly the next day, boom. There's a little boy...
