Mr enn49, can you please edit my post and correct the img tags pretty please? The first one I ended with img instead /img

There have been a lot off changes in my collection, and unfortunate a few deaths. Here just a few pics X. sp Brght Same go's for my B.boehmei I also bought 25 slings A.geniculata. Still very small. And I don't see her often so glad I could take this picture of my P.murinus 'usambara'

Its a Poecillotheria so I think it's alright. Do you have a container that size but higher? So you can add more height but use the same lid :)

If it comes in small, i would nog suggest to put it in a large container. It might not find it's food, you can't check if it had been eaten and you will have a hard time finding your T

You have to watch out with sharp pointy sticks where they can fall on. But otherwise it should be fine. You T will not see it as a bed to chill on.

Bit late, have been offline for a while. But happy new year !

It looks healthy and plump. I wouldn't worry. I have a G.pulchripes female and a A.seemani that eat 2 or 3 times a year.

Christmas is over so back online :D Lol ... sorry I haven't been here for a while. I'll try and catch up.

Just keep the bowl filled and she will be ok. She will find it when she wants it.

No idea what a Mexican copper head is, but I hope someone from your state can help out. I'm from europe so off no help

All my A.geniculata don't burrow. Some have a shallow one where they sit sometimes but most just hang around the waterdish.

I always keep the water filled. With all my A.geniculata I always spray a bit more to have some moisture in the substrate but will dry the substrate fully out again. The 'attack' to the pipet will be foodresponse. The A.geniculata are big eaters and every movement will trigger foodresponse.

After a molt you get a completley 'new' spider. They can change for a friendly giant to a hysteric idiot :) Or it could be a mature male now (because the longer legs remark)

Arachnoboards is the not nicest place for new owners. But there is very much info there. I only read there if I want to find something. I wouldn't worry about the spot. AFter a molt everything is back to normal. It could be from kicking hairs from stress, it could be for creating a bed to molt...

I don't make it that wet, but when I put it in an enclosure I keep it there with the doors open for atleast a week so the top parts can dry out. Even than the first week of a new spider the don't want to sit on the substrate :).
