Damn. What docile species did you have/handle?

thanks for ur replies. I tried again today, still the grumpy son of a ***** attacked the paper on the first touch, but after that he was just moving forward on each tap. He now has a new home.

Yeah what you guys say is true I guess, but I thought tapping the back legs so the spider will move forward is a standard technique that can't go wrong. I guess I was wrong.

So i got a new aquarium for my brazilian black T. He is 3 and a half years old. So like all docile Ts, when I was tapping him to his back legs, he was moving forward. Once I took him to my hand, and a lot of times i have changed his dirt which required me taking him out by tapping his back legs...

Made a hide with toilet paper roller heheh. It's temporary though but it gets the job done!! Only problem is now he only shows me his ass because he is burrowing!!!

thanks guys. I will make him a bigger hide and one that he can burrow when he is inside. Very nice set-up you got there by the way!!

The next day i posted this he started moving again now i find him in a lot of places instead of that corner heheh. I put a small cup from a bottle with water in it again. What do you mean re-house though? Bigger home? Because all online care sheets say that the house should be 4 times the...

nice site!! it also has crested geckos. I might buy one of these little guys hehe!

For people who live in europe, i recommend http://www.spidersworld.eu. These guys are great i ordered my brazilian black from there 2 years ago. Great communication with these guys whatever problem or question you have they reply fast on their facebook page. I also see in my newsfeed on facebook...

Thanks guys i will let you know. I stopped using water bowl because he was a cheeky boy and he was burying the bottle cup. Now i just spray with water every now and then the dirt. Also for hide i have this small shot glass which is buried under the dirt you as can see it in the picture but it is...

Hi everyone!! It's been some time since i have posted in this great forum. My tarantula has grown (as you can see in the pictures and compare on the profile image). So my f***** father wanted to take my T to his school to show him to the kids. I told him to take care of him like a million times...

man i love em!!

nice!!!! UPDATE: mine just molted... it's weird i didn't think premolt would take 6 months... Imagine he was upside down, and i had forgotten that they do that when they molt and i thought he was dead for a minute :P That mother****er got prettier.. been 2 days though and he still hasn't come...

So guys, my juvenile brazilian black tarantula (i have him for like 7-8 months), is buried for 6 months now. Fortunately i can see him moving since his den is at the edge of the small aquarium i have for him. (basically i can see him underground through transparent plastic). But all this time he...

Thanks brother :) I since he opened his burrow he hasn't come out yet, but i see him now and then with a small flashlight to check on him and his color got darker, so i guess he molted. Also i squashed the worms head before throwing it in. Anyway thanks I got scared for a moment there hehe...
