Thinking the same thing! Keep your cat on old world molts....just kidding. Happy Spoodering!

I was feeding Animal a Hornworm before she went into pre molt. I spoke with Annalisa on here about Hornworms and don't believe they are available in Europe but not sure. If I think one of my Spoods is getting close to pre-molt I try to feed them a Hornworm for high moisture content. Happy...

Cool beans!!

That is a tall and rather expensive endeavor considering the # of Avics and the price tags to boot! Not big into Avics but do like the Aurantiaca!! Happy Spoodering!

Are you Serious!!! Lol!

Bit cool. No doubt your Spood would like a little higher ambient temp! Lucky enough I have a dedicated room and just use a oil filled space heater. The mat can be used just not under the enclosure and never heat lights if you are unaware of this. If you go with a mat I would go with a seed...

Tried to watch your vid but sadly my phone won't play it! Ohhhhh well! Enjoy your T and as most times.... Happy Spoodering!

Welcome to the Forum new T wrangler!

Another similar looking T is the Aphonopelma Bicolaratum .If I spelled that right lol! Very, very gorgeous T as well!!! Happy Spoodering!

Grammastola Pulchra! Lucky enough to have three of these and a Quiroigui sling. All bulldozers and house decor masters! All inquisitive,all beautiful and just wonderful spiders!

Never underneath the enclosure. How cold are we talking about?? If you want to use one put it on one side of the tank...not the bottom! T's in nature burrow to escape heat. So no go for underneath. Happy Spoodering!

Another thing bout the males is you grow extremely fond of them and in no time their gone! Heartbreaking at times! To me it also seems that fiesty males in some species mellow. My first Psalmopeous Cambrigei was a firecracker of a spider and when he hooked out became a big ole sweet heart! Still...

Chilobrachys Huahini! Shes in a T cribs 8*8 cube at the moment. Think it's time for the 10*10 Herpcult cube! Trying to get the molt at the moment would have been tantamount to suicide with her.

Yeah, chalky white is how my girls bum looked. It would vary as to how much/ how bad. Sometimes her bum would go to looking pretty good and a few days later the chalky white and on occasion almost damp sheen but mostly chalky appearance would return. Impaction is a terrible thing. Hope this is...

I believe I lost my Xenesthis sp. Blue female to impaction. The main question I have is does her anus and spinnerets stay covered in crusty white poop? I noticed her butt ,not long after a molt, started getting crusty white and staying that way. Suspected impaction so I stopped feeding her. It...
