    T Stirmi

    Good luck! I feel like all my "bird eaters" are female. And all my real slow growers, aphonopelma and grammastola are male

    Girl until proven wrong. Motto I've come to live by

    T Stirmi

    I put a flashlight under it, didn't really bring forward or highlight what appears to be the spermatheca. In the pictures it appears more clear but in real life it's like that little flap doesn't exist. I'm assuming it's because of how thin it is. Thanks for the opinion. I'll have to see if...

    T Stirmi

    I've got a 2 inch, presumably still a sling at this point, stirmi. I'm thinking it's maybe still too young to sex the molt but wanted some guesses. I've been researching stirmi molts and they all seem vastly different and harder to sex than other species. Any ideas welcome.

    Theraphosa blondi having trouble

    I'm not sure what's going on. It's been over 2 weeks since their molt. Ive waited for their fangs to harden. And it seems like she's having trouble actually getting her food. I've given a wax worm so it's a soft feeder and fattening. But she's struggling. Any idea? Her fangs look to be okay.

    Bit by Hissing cockroach!

    Bruh, I thought this was a new post! Hahaha.

    Bit by Hissing cockroach!

    I've had a Madagascar hisser colony for 4/5 years. I keep them as pets. I've never been bitten. I will say their leg spikes are gnarly and don't feel great. This is a random story but reminded me. When I was younger I put on my shoes, started walking, got a sharp awful pain, took my shoe...

    It's been a hot minute

    Thanks for the opinion. I was leaning towards that too. Sometimes I feel like when you get a female it's too good to be true. So I second guess it.

    It's been a hot minute

    I haven't been on here for awhile but my blondi recently molted. Checked the molt tonight. Is it obvious or not? I'm leaning one way but want some input

    Citharacanthus cyaneus

    They were fully out and didn't bolt for once! I took the opportunity they gave me and got pics. Such a pretty little thing.

    Who's molted today

    Nhandu tripepii molted while I was at work today. Large gains!

    Just got my Lampropelma Carpenteri

    Damn, 77? I'd roast in that. I only do like 70 tops in my spider room. Do you think warmer makes them come out more on display?

    Just got my Lampropelma Carpenteri

    I was able to get one on sale! They do look stunning mature. I love asian fossorials, so I figured why not this one for my first arboreal. Go big or go home.

    Just got my Lampropelma Carpenteri

    They're only about an inch but I gave them a medium slider cause the less I gotta mess with them, the better.

    Should I Be Concerned ?

    Hi there. Under no circumstance should you've of moved them or bothered them after their molt. They're very vulnerable in that state. I know you needed to clean but I would have waited. Mold/fruit flies aren't a major concern as compared to a freshly molted T. Please let them be for now and...
