My new lasiodora parahybana

[TLRO]

Hey all. New to the thread. Here's my new T I am pretty sure she is a she according to the one pic of her underside. Let me know what you guys think. Be gentle shes very sensitive

Love to watch them clean their fangs. And if that is wood chips its on you need to change the bedding.

I already have 30 gallons worth of the eco earth fibre stuff. Gonna change it out tomorrow as long as I can come up with a way to capture her and get her out. She's a bit protective and jumpy still haha.

I use old butter contaner that have been sent throw the dish washer

My plan is to just isolate her in a corner an cover her than replace everything around her.

Thing is I just got her on sunday and she hasn't left her cave since then. I don't want to stress her out too much. Maybe its best to get all the big changes done with right away though. What do you think?

No matter what you decide, whether to wait or do it now, she may become stressed either way. I would change it now, the coconut earth fiber is the best and safest way to go! Your LP is BEAUTIFUL! I have an LP sling right now, its my favorite T's, they are so big and just amazing words can't describe it.
Since you mentioned that she isn't coming out of her hide out, if you can remove that slowing and quietly, I would use a big cup or like Khatchet said a cleaned butter container works, even Tupperware works too! If you slowly coax her in using like a straw or long tweezers you should be okay. Goodluck!!

 

[khatchet]

The best thing to use to get her in to the contaner is a long paint brush that has not been used

Thanks all for the great advice. I'm all set up to do it tonight once the babies asleep. I'll post some tank shots of the results. She's gonna be so happy to be free of the nasty wood chips

 

[TLRO]

Was a great success. She's so chill she didn't even kick hairs at me. I opted to remove the man made burrow and instead give her some spots to dig her own if she wanted. Not sure might change me mind and make her one. But anyways let me know what you think

 

[TLRO]

Added some cork bark. Finally finished. She took to a little hide in the front and accepted a cricket last night. I think she approves

Looks nice. Awesome tarantula too. I was at a reptile expo today and seen L parahybana but didn't get one. Wishing I did now.

 

[TLRO]

Thanks she is definitely an awesome T. So patient. I had to capture and put her in a Tupperware container two days in a row and she didn't kick a single hair or anything. She seems a little stressed now but she's been through a load of changes so it's understandable. Little sweet heart though for sure.

That is awesome! I love your tank it looks great!

Check out these webs! Shes so active and hungry. Shes eaten 2 silk worms and 5 crickets in the past two days. Gonna be a big girl!

 

[BigTGirl93]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!

 

[TLRO]

I just cleaned out her water dish because she used it as a toilet. When I went to put it back in she was out of her den to investigate immediately. She had her front legs and palps all over the dish as i was sliding it in place. So curious and interactive

 

[BigTGirl93]

Isn't that an awesome feeling? Makes me feel good!

Yes I totally love it. She's just a little teddy bear with 8 legs.... that seems to have a bottomless appetite for crickets.

Awe that is awesome! My Rosie has a huge appetite for anything that is put in her tank lol but all my other T's are just as calm and slow as can be. But I am still extremely cautious because even though I feel they are so docile they are still wild as can be.
