Are you certain that's a Colbalt Blue?

My T. pruriens "Riddle" presented me with a molt today. The picture is terrible. It was the best I could get.

I'm going to use this thread as my own personal log so to speak. I wish I would have thought to do this a long time ago. Better late than never I guess. Yesterday was feeding day. It's my second favorite day right behind New T day! Which is coming soon! Current collection consists of: 0.0 1 C...

I wish that you had a more accurate name for your Paraphysa sp. Tiger. It looks just like my Euathlus truculentus. I will have to make a point to take some good pictures of it, but it has the same cowlick type pattern on the bum. This isn't my pic. It's from Jamies Tarantulas...

Hi all! Just wanted to drop by. Life has been busy and I needed to unplug. I have suffered some great losses in my collection due to a faulty thermometer. The collection now sits at 10. It took me a long time to stop being angry at myself for a stupid rookie mistake. I should have know better...

Just an update. I figured out why so many of my slings died off. Not just scrofas, but across the board. I suffered HUGE losses. Anyway. NOOBS PAY ATTENTION!!! If you ever use an incubator, USE A BACKUP THERMOMETER! I did not. My temps were WAY too high. That's what caused all my loss. I'm...

Yes, Lucy is fine and so is the one remaining sling. The breeder doesn't have to do anything. They can always say that it was my husbandry that did it. I don't believe it was b/c all my other slings are in the same nursery kept under the same conditions. You never know though. All my little...

Well, I had 3 more scrofas die on me after the last bunch of slings. So, now I have one P. scrofa sling. Sorry I haven't been around. I've been angry and questioning myself about this whole situation. The breeder says that if they have more scrofa slings the next time I place an order they...

The enclosure is nice. But you still have that GBB set up as an arboreal. It needs more length than height. If you don't have a different enclosure at least double the substrate. This seems to be a common problem. Terrestrial tarantulas will climb AND fall. When they fall they can get hurt...

So they need to go take an English class, or two. That doesn't mean that they aren't genuine. I'm forever the optimist.

The posture you are describing is a normal tarantula posture. She is trying to let you know that you are irritating her. If she is less active and NOT eating is it possible that she could be nearing molt. However we are dealing with a rosie here. Rosies are notorious to have big swings in...

Might have to try that out and see what I can find.

Mind telling me what kind?

That is strange then. These guys can get goofy at times. There was a reason, but we may never know.

That's one heck of a macro attachment! That's a clear pic for such a tiny sling! I probably would have thrown the thing out of frustration.
