Lol He refers to them as the Lamborghini of tarantulas! They are beautiful though! And seem relatively easy to care for, although knowing me I'd be up on a cot by it's enclosure doing the "tiger mom" thing <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I don't think I could ever keep a species that does not do well in captivity (the M. lambertoni he refers to) in such a small enclosure. Poor dear. no wonder she's not eating and has an attitude. I like the fact that they can't flick hairs, but I'd be careful of the speed and fangs. And by the by, my Lp, Pickles FINALLY started his molt yesterday. Shortly after I was wondering and might have posted to you when it would begin as he had been in preempt for 3 weeks! an hour later I go to check on him and he's flipped onto his back. Took him about 8 hours to break out, but this morning he seems fine. He's sleeping / resting in his hide. I am going to leave him alone for a few days and maybe then try ro go in with tweezers to do a gentle clean up. So exciting. My scorplings are thriving, Jewlz my GBB is happily webbing up her enclosure, and my Dubias are breeding. All is good in my little world <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Off to work for me. Thanks so much for all your support. It's nice to have an informed and intelligent hobbyist to turn to and to communicate with. Have a great day.</blockquote>
