Yeah... Pet Shops said many things about tarantula care I have discovered to be false. I hope your pad is at least only on one side of the tank- should it be too hot... then she can move away from it! You may be better off never plugging it in -and just affix a new one to the side.

I have been handling The President almost daily now... and it seems she just loves coming right up to my hand and getting a chance to crawl around....

I havent measured her.... Id' say... 5"?

Here's Mr President after the first molt in our home! Pet shop claims her a Grammostola sp. "Maule" Chilie (Chilean Gold Fluff) Others have pinned her as a "Concepcion"... So... pretty and dark with striking markings! We love her!!! Check out the pre-molt/post molt shot!

Thanks for the tips!

I have read many places to leave crickets in the tank, just over night- and if they are not eaten by the next day then the T isn't interested and to remove them... I dropped 2 Crickets in yesterday afternoon- T ate one right away, and now the following day there is 1 still around... my tank is...

Wow! Quite a collection! When did you get your first T?

Thank you! I was lifting the main molt away with little plastic tongs, and I attempted to lift this part too, as I thought it was just sitting on top of him- I stopped as soon as I realized it was attached- I hope I didn't hurt him!

Mr.P has molted over the past 2 days- He has been free and resting from his old endo for over 24 hours, but still has a bit hanging off the back of him. Is there something I should do? See pic:

Thanks for asking. The president is great!

Came across this website- They are very pricey- but I've only got one little friend to show off, and I think thses are very nice, and safe. Does anyone have one, or perhaps seen one in person? http://tarantulacages.com/terrestrial.html

Good to know. It does have sort of a rolled up sleeves, tough guy look to it...

I thought maybe, yoga.

What ever is she doing...?

She's the one you see in my profile pic. We have her pinned as a 'G. Concepcion' -will know more clearly after a molt, but its lookin pretty sure on all other fronts. 'Her' name is Mr. President. (We got her on election day)
