Doing tricks like play dead and roll over, I doubt. If you make it used to feeding it a certain time etc, they grow accustomed to their new "habitat" so they wil remember where food and water is and where they feel threatened, and where not. Based on this I will have to say "yes a T can be learned"

Schoolman, that is a different subject on it's own. I must agree that if you do not know how to handle then best leave them. Every time you handle you are subjecting yourself to a possible bite or rash. So there I agree, if you don't know then don't touch. If you handle your critter from sling...

Hahahaha agree! They look a lot bigger without a camera. Only realise how small they realy are when you try and zoom in on them

Hahaha maybe sumo like the wrestlers. Lmao. Just kidding. Naming them is always hard. Write all the names on a list and do a blindfold pin

Problem I always have is bisexual names. Hence I named mine Arachni. Both male and female is covered so it won't get confused once sexed.

Glad I could help. Personal advise.....will probably get crusified cause of this (hahahah) ..... Try and imitate your tank to the area you caught the T. As far as I know, the south african T's are more aggresive, so handling will be a bit of a tough one, but it's like a bee sting when bitten...

Found a site that might be usefull to you. It's a south african site dedicated to south african tarantula's (baboon spiders) it has pictures and explinations with latin names on all 42 species (yeah made a mistake when I said 20) enjoy it and keep us up to date on what you found out on the...

A little something like this?

Firstly you need to find out what type of baboon you have there. If I'm not mistaken there are about 20 different species. See which baboon is native to your area and then work your way from there. Once you have that you should be able to trace habitat etc.

So I was bored... Had nothing to do, so rallied the kids and had a foto shoot. So charlotte heard the word facebook and was all rearing to go. And the best pictures was and

Fully agree on the find. :) will be getting my cobalt blue and togo sunburst sooner than I thought.

Don't know if this is the right section for this, BUT!!!!!, walked into a hidden petsshop today. Actually went to buy salt for my koi's and stopped since it was the only place open. While waiting I saw the critter section. Curly's R30, golden red rumps R90, the most expensive one was R450 for a...

I don't mean hunting the critter to a corner and forcing it to be handled. If you want to handle a hotsnake, you need the right time, oppertunity and position. Hahah. Just saying that if you cannot "play" with your T, then why have it? Nothing like have a arachnophobe friend over and taking it...

So when are we getting pics of you new family members and its enclosure?

Looking for caresheets for T's. Preferably in pdf form. Can email them to [email protected] even if it is just a caresheet you use for your T. I am planning to put them all together in one major pdf file
