Lol, I'm not offended at all. I can see myself reading those posts a year from now and getting a facepalm concussion. I'm glad that at least some humour came out of that whole thing.

It would take no time at all, since the 8 guys already built it. Duh. :P And I've heard good things about chacos, considered getting one recently. My first choice before I got my a. avic was a b. smithi, but something about an arboreal species fascinated me. Tbh, I've only seen her on the...

So my roommate gets home from work at 8 in the morning, I go out and talk/cry for about 10 minutes, he tells me that maybe she's out of the cup now and whaddaya know, that little ***** is out and about crawling around on the glass like nothing happened. I've been freaking out since 2am all for...

I guess you could be right. I've just noticed her poop in the past was a bit longer and more smeared, which is the main reason it worried me I'll just hope for the best, and thanks for the support

Starting to curl up... :(

Being my first tarantula, I don't really know the difference between a small amount and a large amount. The container makes it kind of blurred and hard to see all of the details of her abdomen , but I can't see the wound. Just the spots left behind from where she sat (another pic. You can see...

Upon further inspection, I noticed several white spots in the container. At first I assumed it was excrement since she was scared and irritated, but now I realize it's coming from the underside of her abdomen. :(

An update: when I was cleaning up the cricket remains, the tongs gently tapped her leg and she freaked out. She immediately jumped/fell onto the side of the opening (black part) and ran to the other side of the door. I went and got the first empty container I could find and slid a piece of paper...

Finally ate, and I feel like I figured out the problem. I'd only tried to tong-feed her before, but she'd just aggressively nip at it and back up or just run away. Decided to drop two crickets in there just in case she changed her mind. A few hours later in the dark I heard something quickly tap...

As far as room temps go, we generally keep it on the colder side (upper 60s/lower 70s). Keeping it temporarily in the upper 70s until I figure out what is best. And thanks for understanding. I haven't posted on a forum in years (always been a lurker), because I get very paranoid and antsy about...

Hey there! This is kind of a long post, but none of my friends like spiders very much so I'm just gonna let it all out. I have a few questions as well. (skip the next three paragraphs if you don't wanna hear my life story.) I've always been fascinated with spiders, but they still used to freak...
