[QUOTE="WolfSpider, post: 179727, member: 24627"] Congratulations on your new T. You chose well. Even if your pulchra is a male, it will live many years. Stress for newbies is common. Just like a new Mom, you get more comfortable with your baby as time goes on. Your T is overweight. Its not much of an issue for the T, but it will be for you. Heavy Ts can have an extended "premolt". Some believe that overfeeding pushes the T into premolt sooner, resulting in a longer fast and taking seemingly eons before a molt. Roaches are gross, but they are probably the most versatile food source. Dubai roaches are not interested in tarantulas and can stay safely in the enclosure even during a tarantula molt. Sadly, in my stupid state, dubias are not permitted. Welcome. Careful....this hobby can cause physiologic tolerance: you need more tarantulas to keep the high! Wolf Spider [/QUOTE]
