Cobalt Bue Tarantula Questions

[mrotsliah]

Will the cobalt blue molt in the borrow or out of the burrow? Methinks out of the burrow since it could stretch out better.

How often would one clean out the container? How would you entice the tarantula out of the burrow so you can get it out of the container to clean the cage.

Hello
I'd say depending on its burrow design,mine made not just a maze but a central open area at the bottom. It has molted underground each time,also it will come out in the dark if needs be meaning hunting. Using a red light to look at the T,seems not to bother it. This I saw on sites, seems to work either true or just coincidental.

Despite what word you use to choose (aggressive vs. defensive), I have actually talked to many experienced owners of S. calceatums (feather leg baboon) and they all agree that S. cals aren't as feisty as people describe them to be. The people I've talked to have never had problems with them as long as you keep any eye on them and give them space and respect. I'll be able to give you my two cents once my three slings grow up

Back to the topic. I'm a believer that it's not as much about experience as it is having common sense and respect for the T. I have only been in this hobby for a short period of time, yet I have collected some Ts that experiences keepers would never want due to their attitudes (S. cal and H. mac) and venom potency. But I keep my distance, respect them, don't toy with them or purposely irritate them, and they're fine. As long as you are smart about how you're keeping your T, you and your T will both be fine. But yes, H. lividum tends to be a pet hole

Agreed.

Some tarantulas that are a from a species reputed to be calm and docile can turn out to be skittish or even defensive. All T's have their own personalities.
