both Phormictopus cancerides urs oldfart?
very very nice collection,especially the Ornithoctoninae!

yeah- they're both mine. I knew I had at least one female because I purchased one female juvie and an unsexed juvie from two different vendots. Forgot to label which was which. Up until their last molt they both looked the same.

yea,they show lots of differences between male and female..i may be getting one soon.do you know hows the market price oldfart?

anyway,a male's photo

swt,i prefer female..

Sorry, not familiar with your local prices. I do almost all my shopping from online vendors here in the states. Prices are always on display on their website. The 2.5" female juvie I got for $40. The 2" unsexed juvie was $25.

hey..got gud news..my nhandu just finish molt this morning ....but i've a question..huhuhuh~
emm...y my T just molt without any sign...coz i checked dis morning,nothing happen (just like everyday)..then after i finished class around 12pm.when i look at it,i noticed there are another T in the container.hahhaaha..so0 shocked,it was the "kulit"maa~
here some pic..soo0o sorry coz the pic is blur coz i used my fren phone and try to edit it but it became worst..sory...

has anyone heard about Lyrognathus robustus or malaysian Brown Bird Tarantula.. just want to know..

Maybe i just make a fuss, is it common for a sling not eat for around 2 or 3 weeks? its not its molting period, since it last molt it just months ago

my sling dont eat for almost one month,then died.

what is the cause ?

my first time reading it was from the link,

but I don't really bother it because recovering the species alone need a lot of effort,

from my point of view, we are still far from appreciating this species. sad.

hmm... it can only b found in the frasser hills. so might go and hunt some.. but as u said.... 'recovering the species alone need a lot of effort' i might just not.. might just see them in their habitat..

nope no good, heard that the habitat has been long destroyed.

try google under cyropagopus schioedtei/ MET,

u can find an article regarding the fraser hills too.

hiyaa... already destroyed ka.. damn... im just hoping that these things wont b extinct.. without we even noticing it...

its bad, but its happening, probably happened.

and again sadly, nobody seems to bother about it.

I mean the authority. The awareness are not there yet.

hmmm.. i hate this.. yes the place is rather nice and good for holiday for the family.. but does that cost incure to the destruction of mother nature and especially to the rare species of animal.. man.. where is the jabatan alam sekitar or the perlihitan... (im not too sure about the jabatans...)

it is actually the uncontrol ecotourism and irresponsibilities of the residents that introduce the habitat the tarantula habitat to the tourist.

And the next day they were excavated and sold off in their country.

That is why somehow our local species can be found/easily be found oversea rather than in our land.

Exploitation.

I don't mean to blame others, as we can see here, greed is the main reason why and all of us should take this responsibility as a whole to help spread awareness.

If you can't give speech and what not, it is best alone that you have the awareness and goes strict against wild caught.

When the buying stop, the hunting will too.

hey guys, 1 question ya... i jst get a small sp blue and orange baboon. i found out it's a bit cruel 2 tore either de cricket's hind leg apart or cut mealworms apart jst to feed them, can i feed them v mosquito instead, which i found easier than those insects. or ant?

mosquito, ants ??? u must b joking me.. nop u cant feed them that (too small what) u just have to cut the limbs.. i also feel sorry for the crix n mealworm but this is survival.. if u cant do it it will die. what i do is.. some of the crix will die eventually. and wen it does take out the legs and give to the tarantula.. thats y u need some amount of crix..

bt my t is jst 2 cm , quite small oso... bcoz currently i dun hv adult T, so if i jst cut of the crics limbs, den wat should i do v de body?

throw it in the bin.. i have a 1'' rosea and 2cm p.regalis. i tend to wait for a dead crix take their legs off and the body feed to my scorpion but in ur case throw it in the bin. if there is no dead crix and u havent feed ur tarantula for soo long. then u have no choice but to murder some crix or mealworms...
