Or any one with the mad skills. I am trying to identify haplopolma sp possible miniax.That was sold under the common thailand black. I am also trying to verify sex. I have a fresh molt available. -Red

Glad to hear that. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Why would my t be facing head first (down) in her burrow? She has been this way for at least several day. Thoughts?

So o picked this beautiful T yesterday. I have a better pic now but still not as good as I'd hoped for. Yes I know that pics a rent the best way to determine sp. But any thoughts or opinions would be great. I'm not overly concerned about sec. I'm of the understanding that this, if it is a mins...

Thanks everyone for all the great advise. I dug down to about 2 inches above her burrow. Then i destructed the vertical aspect which was about 10 inches high. As I neared the bottom she sprung up and right into the catch cup without even defensive threat at all. She is now in her new home...

Some how missed the video. Since mine is about 8 inches deep would I make my life easier in digging down to a more work able depth?

Can you explain the tongs method?

Way to large of an enclosure and not feeding and molted just a few weeks ago.

I need to rehouse my H. lividum. She is in an enclosure that is to big. She has burrowed about 8 inches down and about 4-5 inches accross. I've read of different methods but these sources do not go into as much detail. In the Tarantula keepers guide it talk about pouring water down the burrow...

Lol thats awesome. What's with all the changes recently. I thought we used scientific name cause they DON'T change or get created 6 ways from Sunday?

Completely agree. It's horrible. The waterdish was taller than the little guy. So i told them whst they need to do. But whp knows of it will get done. But before I shell out my change I need to at least be in the ballpark on what kind of T this is.

Other than my h. Lividum I don't have experience with Asian Ts. Mostly African and Americas. Is this still in the H. Family or has it changed? Everything I read and the pics range 10-15 years. I noticed it's pretty slim. Just needs more hydration or possibly a male? I do understand that Asian Ts...

Based on my research I was under the notion both of there species were Haplopelma family. Did this change at some point?

Saw this guy/gal at a pet store I frequent. They call me about all the exotic Ts they get but of course only "common name" this one is listed at a Thailand black bird eater. Yes comical. But this one im having a hard time figuring out. I know pics arent the preferred method bit this what I got...

Thanks!
