This is a great question, but kinda hard to narrow down to just one thing, so here’s two… I love an intricate web with some excavation. My Chilobrachys sp Kaeng krachen piled dirt from inside a starter burrow in the middle of the enclosure - made a mountain out of dirt touching the top of the...

Thanks. I enjoyed keeping him. Meal time was always entertaining for such a little dude. I’m sure like most OBTs, he acted like he had a 10 foot DLS lol. RIP Charles.

I won’t be taking a video - he’s gone

Really?!? My other mature males are much more graceful than that. I was not expecting this. Being on his side, is the bit that is most common when having these “episodes”. The legs underneath him are bent outward, supporting him (like a shelving bracket holding him on his side) his other half...

His abdomen is so small. He only accepted one meal since his last molt (which is when he hooked out) about 5 months ago

Hello! I have a mature male OBT who has been acting really weird. -started refusing food. I expected that. -started vibrating sporadically (as though he is about to be paired, only 10 fold). His whole body, shaking like crazy. Nothing subtle about it. -started doing “cartwheels” in an...

Anyone in southern Ontario, Canada with a mature female geniculata? My male Pulsar is SO ready to be shipped to you! I have a female for Pulsar but she hasn’t reached maturity yet. I also have a big beautiful Nhandu Tripepii and am looking for a male for her. No rush for her of course, but the...

Personally, I really like the 12” cube. I keep my A Hentzi in one. Just watch out for that 12” of height for a terrestrial, and adjust the substrate level accordingly. I do like them though

I currently have my terrestrials set up in enclosures that are are 3 times the DLS - height doesn’t make or break me buying it, since I can just adjust the substrate level to make sure they don’t have too much height to fall from, should that happen. I have some enclosures that have the same...

Lol! I first thought 13 was a good number…then freebies and impulse sling purchases, and up went my numbers. How big is your H. Mac? I have one that just molted and is about 2.5 inches and it’s probably my best eater, most elusive (boooo!), and it takes first place in speed. My Tapinauchenius...

Don’t go in there cricket!

Chilibrachys sp kaeng krachen just surfaced for the first time after molting

Jessica is a little cutie!! As a sling (like with most) they tend to burrow. I understand you being worried because you haven’t seen her in a while, but you shouldn’t keep checking on her and disrupting her. Imagine someone came by and ripped the roof off your house because they haven’t seen you...

That’s a beautiful specimen none the less.

Interesting. I had heard of them doing this, but I’d never seen Cami do it. It kinda caught me by surprise. I’m not being a helicopter keeper, but I am glancing inside the enclosure often to see what she’s up to. I suppose if she’s eating and webbing, everything must be ok?
