You guys like this T? Oh that's right. I've only ever seen it like 4 times. Terrestrial? Yeah right. This mofo is more fossorial than my real fossorials. I have no clue what it's doing, if it needs food, how many times is molted. I NEVER see it. I'm ranting. This is a beautiful T. But sometimes I question if it really exists. That is all. Thanks for reading.

P.S. there's no T in this Pic. I'm just mad

If Sydney Sweeney can sell her bathwater, then I'm sure you can get a nickel or two for a scoop of tarantula annointed dirt. Anything will sell on eBay.

That T might make you millions someday.

I dunno man. I might have better luck if the T takes a poop that looks like Jesus.

My Queen Baboon is the same way! Never up! Always down and never catch her out. She is a gorgeous T and since her arrival 7 or 8 months ago seen her out once! Ohhhhh, the irony!!! Lol!

You know she's beautiful. That's all that matters
Actually with Pelenobuis Muticus it was to be expected but I figured I would catch her out at night sometime like my Phormingochilus Arboricola which is never out in the day but late night is consistent. I think soon as I enter the room she zips down the burrow. Might have to be more stealthy!! Happy Spoodering.

Set up a camera. Bet you'll get something. Or maybe it'll just sit there for hours on end. Which is normal too.

Her flat DLS must be about 3.5 inches. She’s moulted twice with me so approaching adult size i guess. She has a hide (cork bark) but she does come in and out. But my usual view is her butt sticking out the entrance.

Sounds like a great idea if I had something practical to do it with! Lol. She is a gorgeous T. Her male counterpart is in the wait and hope she may come on out to the top cause I really don't want him to get ate. When I put him in I will block her tunnels off so he don't charge straight to his doom and give him a chance to settle and pick up dem pheromones and tap his announcement to the lady!! Hopefully she responds. Wouldn't mind having too many little King Baboons for a little bit. Cheers!

I love that. The couple times I've seen mine, their butt was sticking up in the air because they torpedo'd themselves back into their tiny burrow

Pairing T's is the most stressful thing I've seen. Haha. The amount of anxiety it gives me when watching is astronomical. I commend you for being able to. For some weird reason I still don't have a baboon. Might need to change that!

I have not paired many times and things have not gone well. Did get my female Aspino- Phormingochilus Rufus to drop a sack but it spoiled. Have had three phantom sacks from three different females! Who needs molts when you can get phantom egg sacks. Lol.

Yep, sounds really stressful. Have you successfully raised any egg sacs? Also, when they're just born/ that small. What do they exec eat? Can they manage fruit flies well enough?

No successful sacs to date. Only paired the Rufus and Cyriopagopous Schmidti. The Schmidti was truly a learning experience. Seems like with T's I want the deep water first. Lol!!
