I strive to get only females, but as we know, we occasionally wind up with a Male in the collection. My Brachypelma Albopilosum was raised from a little tiny thing, and well, turned out to be a big Harry male. He is now getting to be an old guy, and well, I wanted to know if any T owners know any tricks to make his golden years good. He isn’t moving much these days, but he does take pre killed meal worms. I just kinda drop it in and he finds them eventually. Does anyone have any tips or tricks I haven’t thought of for taking care of old guys? Thanks a bunch.</blockquote>
