Hey guys - thanks for you help a while back. Things resolved themselves somewhat when I got home one evening a couple weeks and found that she had molted....
Great Patrick. Sounds like your tarantulas are thriving. Great news - please keep us posted with photos. Bert Wright Fellow Tarantula Keeper/Enthusiast...
My spiderlings are now of size to be removed from the plastic containers and placed in a new critter cage, with more floor room and scenic views, these mini...
Thanks guys for all the help. We will cease misting the aquarium immediately. The only reason I was doing so was because the "manual" that came with the...
Leslie: Please understand that, unless you can examine an exuvium to determine 'sex', the jury is still out on whether you have a male or female - that is,...
Misting terrestrial spiders is not a very good idea. I would recommend against it.  It is common for people to think misting the tank helps with molting,...
Thanks Joe - and you did not seem the least bit abrasive or rude. You narrowed a few things down for me and we went and looked at Spidey. I was already...
Hello,  First of all, let me welcome you to the group and I hope I don't come across as being abrasive. I'm pretty blunt and to the point and it's...

Describing a specific habit or tendency is completely different than describing the spider in general. Â I'm an aggressive eater, too. ;-) ... From: Patrick...
... Well, it is rather negative when I tell someone yes, my usumbara will bite you, but it is the truth. She would not retreat and she will do it if you are in...
... I am a little color blind and if its dark Orange I may say its Red,that is true. I get what you are saying, its hard enough to get others to become...
Again, with respect, you saying they are 'very defensive hence aggressive' is like saying something is 'very orange hence red'. Â There are significant...
I understand your point and I admire your stance with reguards to spelling and Tarantula behavior. Its 5:30am here and I'm getting ready for work drinking my...
With respect, there is a huge difference. It is not semantics at all.  I would like to see your references where any accepted literature (i.e. The...
Joe, et al- Aggressive or defensive seems to be splitting hairs with semantics - aggressive tends to be the description that keepers describe those tarantulas...
I have handled OBTS. They're not an issue (usually) if you get them out of their home and let them walk around the table/floor beforehand.  When you're...
... There are times I really have to wonder about that when working around my usambara! ROFL ... Nina -- Don and Nina Cipriani Rattle Creek Farm Abingdon VA...
