My T has a wound on her abdomen?.

[Dean Whitlock]

Could anyone help me by telling me what it is?

 

[Tara Russell]

Do you have any sharp objects in her cage? Are you using bark? What are you feeding her?

 

[Tara Russell]

If she would let you as silly and stupid as this sounds you can use superglue on it

 

[Dean Whitlock]

Hi
Thanks for the reply, I'm feeding her a mixed diet of crickets, locust and meal worms but mainly black crickets.

It's on exo terra coco substrate and no sharp objects really, only a cork bark piece and a cork bark hide.

She had it before I bought her but as I wasn't aware until she climbed onto the side of her vivarium.

I was worried it was some sort of terminal illness.

 

[Tara Russell]

She looks like a climber so whoever had her first maybe she climbed and fell on something she wasn't suppose to but I wouldn't worry she should be fine

 

[Dean Whitlock]

Thanks you at least I can relax now,lol

Thanks you at least I can relax now,lol

No problem at all ^^ how long have you had her? ^^ Plan on getting more T's? XD I always tell myself no more after this never happens and epic fails all the time XD

 

[Dean Whitlock]

Had about 6 weeks now and I love her. She's such a gorgeous T. She eats awesome, wether I feed her everyday or every 4 days she eats every time.
She doesn't mind bring held and hadn't even flicked once (touch wood)

As for anymore, I will definitely be buying another within a week or so. Was looking at a cobalt blue oe a Costa Rican tiger rump.

Hi there
Your tarantula sure is a lovely lady. I think she will be fine, after her next molt you will probably not even see the little mark.
Getting a new tarantula is always so exciting for me, I am like a child in a candy store in our local pet shop. A cobalt blue is a stunning spider and I would also love to own one someday.

 

[Dean Whitlock]

Thank you very much, and yes I've become obsessed with T's and would like 8 by Xmas. The reasearch takes as much time as the funds lol

Cobalt blue is nexT followed by Costa Rican tiger rump although I've been told their quite skittish and very flicky?

Plus when I get a T in the mail it's like opening Xmas gifts XD

The research is part of the fun. In my opinion cobalt blue and costa rican tiger rump is just display tarantulas.

 

[Dean Whitlock]

Yeah that was my main thought, how nice they woul look. I don't want nothing to aggressive as I do like to handle them, or would like to as some I know don't like it.

What's your thoughts on T, and good ideas.

 

[Christell Erasmus]

I prefer not to handle mine, but I have interacted with my choco golden knee and while she was on my hand she was so calm. I love brachypelma species because of there calm, docile nature but also there striking colors. And then I just adore avic species, because of there spunky attitude and there magnificent webbing.

I have a cobalt blue sling. In the several months I've had him, I saw him one time and that was when I moved him to a new enclosure. Not an ideal display T.

 

[Christell Erasmus]

When your cobalt blue is bigger it will be less shy and you will see him more often.

 

[Dean Whitlock]

Decided to go for a Costa Rican tiger rump purely on display basis
