Ahaha, thanks, just like that :P Probably won't being doing that but interesting to hear about the procedure! 4-5 days later Misty still seems to be moving fine, still got the white stuff, I 'think' it may be smaller but not sure. Don't really want to stress him by trying to rub it off but...

Thanks! Good point re noone wanting to fund research into things that kill big spiders! I will fund it if I am ever rich :P Can I ask how you've managed to get your own feeder colonies parasite and mite free? Misty has actually only been fed from my own colonies I have had a few years, but...

thank you, will do! It did remind of a horror story I heard about nematodes but thought maybe I was being paranoid. Can I ask, where he would have got that from after all this time with me? I don't know much about them but could it come from a feeder insect?

Not sure if the images are working...

Hi, What is the white stuff below his fangs? It looks like mould I see forming with the decomposition when a tarantula has died but he is very much alive! Misty was my first tarantula and he has been a mature male about 3 and a half years. I have had him about 5 1/2 years since he was a 5cm...

Thanks for this, am reading it in parts but really interesting! :)

It tells you 'KEEP OUT!' :P moult prep probably in progress :D

I am awful at judging the sex but I hope someone else can confirm a girl! :)

My Ruby says hi :) She seemed to do lots of webbing for Halloween :P She wasn't as small as yours when I got her, maybe 5cm leg span but grew fast. Would love to raise one from a sling one day!

I am curious, what is the arachnoboards vibe?! Ahaha, never got round to joining that site.

Very interesting analysis of the possible social psychology of humans/spiders ahaha! :D
