Last week my female burgundy Goliath, RAMBO, molted out of the blue.....she’s big, at least 10”+ she hasn’t moved much. Cleaning her enclosure I noticed an issue with her right side both book lungs. The rearmost one has a white chalky substance on the edges, like coming out of it...very little...
Checked my Ts and see this. My first ever t, g porteri laying on belly, starting to molt. She's barely moving and don't look right. Never had a T molt like this. I don't know how long she's been like this, or if she's ok.
B albop making sperm web and "filling up". Last pic, just right and above flash, u can see cloudy liquid-looking drop. That's the sperm. He was moving and grooving all over. Then, just like that, tore it down.
My Genic sling rolled on its back to molt this morning. Happy times right? Well, just checked to see it finished but something was instantly wrong. Lost BOTH fangs in the process!!!! 2 little nubs where the white fangs should be. Never had any molt/fang issues with and Ts before.
Can this poor...
My juvi N chromatus hasn't been doing well the past month. It hasn't been eating and has been constantly climbing the top sides like it's been trying to get away from something. From tiny sling til this time, it has been a normal eating and molting T. Never roaming or climbing like this. 2 days...
Ur thoughts and opinions.
All of my MM ts seem to eat ALOT less after they mature. Up until this point, they are ravenous, aggressive eaters and now they eat once a week at the very most. Sometimes longer. It seems odd to me this happens, but perhaps it's a normal thing? Maybe their consumed...
My little communal of 3 H villosella is now 2. One of them ate another one. I drop 3 baby crickets in their web entrance so they each have a meal. Sometimes they eat and sometimes they don't. I've never seen them aggressive toward each other, but I guess something changed. Hope it don't go from...
Can't get my hard ruler next to RAMBO so I measured a piece of paper, then put that piece of paper next to RAMBO as a size comparison. U get the idea. Shes not the biggest of course but She's pretty big I think. Also, u can see she isn't really stretched out either.
My Sulawesi black molted 8 days ago. It has an intricate web tunnel up against the enclosure glass and cork bark, so it's impossible to retrieve the molt. I figured it'd drag it out like most do. Well today I dropped a cricket in, and coaxed it toward the burrow opening. Like lightning the...
Harpactira pulchripes, "golden blue leg baboon" AND
Xenesthis sp "black fire"/"Colombian black fire". The H pulch is showing a lil color, but the X is just a bald, long legged mess right now, lol. Also it's only been 4 hours n the H pulch already ate a cricket and is webbing up the entire...
Although I have a notebook where I have every detail of every T I have noted, like purchase date and size, molt dates and size differences, etc.... I also keep every molt of every T I own. Each T has its own vial or container for the molts. I don't kno why but at least i can visibly see the size...
