Yeah ive been watching videos, and tongs seem to be necessary with every experienced T handler. Ive only had her a few days, when pay day rolls up, I'll grab some.

Alright i put her in a new enclosure, she actually went on a little jog around my room between (she took off out of the bowl before i could get something over the surface, she is FAST) But now shes chilling near the top. Id always heard with my Rose Hair that even small drops are bad. I cant...

Ha yeah, ive read to watch that, incase you get an obese spider! She does need a better inclosure, a deeper one. I had her in an aboreal set up with the heat constantly running, because the Borneos need 72-78° f. So i now need to figure out what the new breed needs.

Thank you guys for the help, any other possible breed suggestions would be appreciated, i just want to make sure im providing her with the correct neccessities:)

@kormath, i can definately see that. A c. Minax? This has becomea fun game of ID the T haha

Now this makes it more interesting, because everything ive read says that they have a very small abdomin, which yours does not. Ah the mystery gets deeper

Is this what you mean? Because i don't feel she looks much like this. Im totally open to suggestions tho

Here are the pictures of her, right after purchase. You can see "black velvet" on the plastic tub, but her tiger pattern is noticable, as well as that body shape.

Alright, that makes me feel better, and i know spiderlings must molt more often, just seeing what to expect. I am 99.9% sure, she has the smaller abdomin with the faint tiger pattern. And not as fuzzy as the Black Velvet. My sister had her for a week or 2 before christmas and turned to her T...

Do you know how often shell molt? My last T was already mature when I had gotten her. My Borneo (Calypso is her name) is about 2-2.5 inches head to bum. Not sure how old, the people at the pet shop new nothing. They didnt even know they had misidenfied her so badly, "she's really agressive for a...

My sister bought me a young female Borneo Black for Christmas. I think shes great, the people at the shop told her it was a Black Velvet, but she is 100% a borneo black. Ive had easier, social, tarantulas like Rose haired in the past, and the behavior of this spiderling is very different- so i...
