Rare Sight!

Don't see this one much so I figured I would grab some pics, Queen Baboon! Come up to turn the water dish over! Lol! Have a sling and MM Pelenobuis Muticus as well. My little sling is in a bit of an oversized enclosure and looks like dirt Swiss cheese! He/she has molted twice and is not as bad but it has been a joy watching the little one dig and hunt. IMHO these are the most beautiful of the " brown" species of T's. So velvety and no BALD SPOTS!! Lol . Happy Spoodering!

The one in the pic is a MF. Haven't had her a full year quite yet. Since she made her burrow this is only the second time I caught her out. KBs are and have been my most reclusive T's by far. Only other time I caught her out she was gone literally in the blink of eye! Amazing how fast they are even when huge! My sling so far has been the antithesis. He/she sits out all the time which is so cool! Happy Spoodering! BTW since my male matured he has all but abandoned his burrow and sits out all the time now and his feeding response actually got better!! Go figure.lol!

are you interested in doing a breeding loan with the big fella ?

This fella, believe it or not, is actually one of my OGs from six years ago. It's took him that long to mature though it's been a few months since he matured! I can imagine how long it took my girl to get to her size. I only recently acquired the female from the Spider Shop. I consider what I got her for at this size a steal. One on Morph market this size was going for $800.00 and another for 1200! I jumped at $258.00 without hesitation! Love KBs though they can be boring.lol. But gorgeous babies indeed! But I couldn't part with him and he will see his misses! If he gets munched it will hurt but I think it worse to watch them whither and one day their in death curl. But such is T keeping.

ok, but if you change your mind and want to let him spread his seed far and wide I do have girl here ready to go

Will do. I'm hoping he just makes it out when date night comes. Lol!

what do you think of the idea of maybe me sending my female to you to breed with your boy then send her back?

Firstly, I wouldn't want my girls riding FedEx and especially this time of year. She would also have to adjust once she's arrived. I don't think it impossible but is the risk worth it?? Female KBs as I stated before are not cheap and take more than a minute to get mature. I see you are in Nebraska and I'm in SC so we're not close enough to meet or anything. I will probably be trying to pair them soon. I have no idea when the lady molted and I've been feeding her up before I give it ago. If things go good and have a successful pairing and he makes it back out I will keep you in mind. Love to see my Jupiters seed spread before his time. Take care and

yea....I was kind of thinking the same thing....

I'm just curious but did you raise your female KB from a sling?? Just wondering if yours did the stay buried and never come out at all behavior???

 

[bwhatch2]

no, I bought her as an adult. they said she pretty much stayed in her burrow all the time. I rehoused her and she stayed buried. about a year later her burrow collapsed and I kept meaning to move her to a new tank with more/better sub but I never seem to get around to it. turns out she never tried to reburrow and has been sitting in the open ever since. I still think once in awhile to give her a bigger tank and more sub but since she isnt even digging in the sub she has I think Im not going to bother her.

Man if she stays out I would leave things be. Wish I could catch my girl out more often!! I think any vibrations she feels and she is gone!! Amazing at her size how fast she is. A bulky giant spider teleporting is a sight indeed!
