Looking forward to the pictures my liege. I have the same setup you are making for my "big 3" females (blondi, aphosysis and stirmi). Bioactive setups and a lot of cross ventilation (I have a shop fan on an hourly schedule to move the air around the garage) are needed for these ladies who love a lot of humidity. Get yourself as well a pair of rubber gloves that go all the way to your shoulders. I use these:
Understood. I have a pair Nhandu Chromatus that love to kick hairs as well as three 3"+ Lasiodora Parahybanas that I raised from ($15) slings. Urticating hairs are one of the reasons I tend to favor old worlds, but I wanted at least 1 Theraposa in my collection. If I get another, it will be an Apophysus, unless, of course, I run across a Blondi wonderfully cheap.
A (compared to me) young lady that I know with extensive experience not to mention an extensive collection "suspects" this one may be a female. Waiting now on a molt. Still on the lookout for a C. Fimbriatus, and about to rehouse my electric blue. Busy
Excellent but please keep in mind that I barely notice any other Ts' hair compared to the Theraphosa's ones. They are in a completely different ball park with the aphosysis having the worst of them all. None of mine are kicking hair but as they wonder around their enclosure these invisible fu@#$rs gets everywhere waiting on some nice skin to dig themselves in
Oops - only have a small (2 inches or so) T aphosysis and only a pair of rubber gloves which will not make it to the elbow. Hope I can manage till it grows substantially (for which it should pickup it's eating habit again (probably after a molt))
Sorry. Looks male to me.
Oh well, I can try to find someone with a breedable female
