    Beautiful Baboons

    Oh, and I rarely see any of them. Unless the lights are off for a while, and I decide to peep into their space with a muffled flashlight., ;)

    Ahhha... I laughed.

    Hahaha, love the Benny Hill Theme Song added to this. It's a good suggestion to play in the background for future transfers for some of my obstinate Ts.

    Rounding out my collection. :)

    Find a sling, say it's a G. pulchripes (or something of the like), then when it gets massive, blame the vendor/breeder! It's a win situation, really. ;)

    Krieger, the little sling that could

    I want to tell you about Krieger, the little sling that could. My partner picked it up (along with 4 other Ts) while I was away one weekend, to surprise me (yes--he is an enabler, and yes--I am spoiled). Now, Bill knows a bit about Ts, from what I've taught him, but I am the primary caretaker...

    AA meeting (arachnids annonymous)

    Hi, I'm Tabitha's mom, and I'm addicted to tarantulas. <---(and that's my beautiful Tabitha) :rolleyes: My partner is an enabler, and on occasion will bring new babies home. Just today, I caught him putting holes in some empty plastic jars. When I asked what he was doing, he said, "New...

    Chilobrachys clarification

    Thanks! I got myself all confused by reading too many forums, and opinions, and definitely appreciate the clarification. :)

    Chilobrachys clarification

    So, it's safe that I label them C. sp. Kaeng Krachan, and C. dyscolus? Or C. sp. Vietnamese Blue? Sorry if it seems like I'm talking in circles, I just like to be thorough. And thanks for being patient and giving some insight!

    Chilobrachys clarification

    Oh, and I should note that they are itty bitty slings (about the size of the tip of my pinky finger), so it's hard to see color variations at this point.
  10. TabithasMom

    Chilobrachys clarification

    Okay, but neither are C. dyscolus?

    Chilobrachys clarification

    My partner decided to play the part of the tarantula fairy this weekend while I was away, and surprised me with 5 Ts (yes, I'm a lucky girl!). Now, while I absolutely love this, and will never do anything to discourage this behavior, he's not good about asking critical questions. One being, the...

    Common names

    Haha, I originally had her labeled as a Haplopelma, but somewhere I (mis)read it changed to Cyriopagopus. Thanks for the clarification. :)

    Common names

    Good idea! Although, I'd like to see common names fizzle away. They cause too much confusion. I'll add a few not mentioned from my collection: Ceratogyrus darlingi - Rear horned baboon Ceratogyrus marshalli - Straight horned baboon Cyriopagopus lividum - Cobalt blue Cyriopagopus paganus - Thai...

    Happy 1,000th

    Happy 1000th! Here I was quite proud with my 100-something messages (being the introvert, quiet type), but these are good people in these parts, with solid knowledge. So, like you, I keep returning to suck in any nuggets of precious wisdom (I trust the regulars here more so than any other...

    DKS advice?

    Yep, from what I've read (and I read A LOT about DKS after the demise of my pokie) it's usually some kind of toxin. Fertilizer, insecticide, aerosols, mold...it's a symptom of an underlying cause. I equate it to colic in horses: a whole host of horrible symptoms, and you gotta be the detective...
