I know!!! I'm so jealous of everyone else's "freebees from mistakes." LOL!

@spidey noob Congrats on your new babies! Keep us posted on them. I would love to have a versicolor, but have avoided them because I've heard they are hard to raise up & die off as slings a lot. Something to do with them being really sensitive to getting the humidity & ventilation just right.

Anyone else have trouble raising A. versicolor slings?

@spidey noob Question.... I keep seeing:
0.0.4 Avicularia sp. "Guyana"
0.0.4 Avicularia versicolor
0.0.4 Aphonopelma anax
0.0.4 Aphonopelma sp. "Malinche"
0.0.2 Brachypelma boehmei
0.1.1 Brachypelma smithi
0.0.1 Brachypelma albopilosum
0.0.1 Brachypelma vagans
0.0.4 Ephebopus murinus
0.0.4 Nhandu chromatus


What are the numbers for? I see the third number is the number you have on hand of that species. Is it adult-juvie-sling? Or... male-female-unsexed?

 

[spidey noob]

@PamCz
avics do have a reputation of being hard to raise but i havnt found them that hard so far !!! but i have only had them a short time.
the 0.0.0 stands for female/male/unsexed.

 

[PamCz]

@spidey noob Cool...thanks!

I just lost an a versi sling. Saddest day ever. She was so healthy with no problems for almost a year. Molted twice. Then died out of nowhere. We don't get them in my area very often so it will be a while before I can get another one. Although I did find a tarantula rescue online that has Versi slings available. Might get one from the rescue. Adoption fee of $20 last time I looked.

 

[spidey noob]

trantula rescue wish there was one next to me i would happly clear them outof Ts where u from ???

 

[PamCz]

@Payden King ...sucks about your versi! That's what I'm afraid of! Sudden Avic Death Syndrome. Seems to just come out of nowhere. This is EXACTLY why I don't have any versi's. Afraid of it dying somehow...

I've just seen these recently online...T rescues! Very cool! You see a lot of G. roseas & I even saw one OBT up to adopt.

 

[Payden King]

I am in PA but the rescues were online. I also saw an OBT up to adopt for $40. It comes with everything needed. Enclosure water dish plant hide substrate and some feeder roaches. AWESOME deal!!

I bet I saw the same OBT as you, then...cuz it was exactly as you described...$40 w/ all the extras. Indeed, a great price. The website said that this is for experienced owners only and that they will make a judgement on whether certain T's can be adopted by certain people. GOOD!! A T treated with respect! Love it.

 

[Payden King]

Yup! Same one! Love that people are taking action and sticking up for the spiders! I hate when people tell me that they are only good dead or whatever. Like they are my "dog" or "cat" so it's just as hurtful! I'm all got saving the spiders and letting them be loved. (As much as they will let us as humans lol. We feed them.. They love us. Haha!)

 

[Fleas]

Wow what some luck that's a nice bunch u got there

I don't think any of mine love me....in fact...I'd say my Emerald Skeleton HATES me! So far, anyway...haha And maybe my P. cancerides, too. But I do think they appreciate/enjoy their enclosures, the supply of good eats, and the security of being "top dog" in their little world. That's good enough for me.
