Thank you and you're welcome. I like to take pics-keeps me out of mischief!:P Got to keep busy or I'll be tempted to buy some more T's! I've been waiting on a few more but that's it- I'm done buying(hopefully).

I think you are right- I might buy some more to replace the ones that die, or males etc. But for now- I will try to keep it below 100.

It moulted a while back. That one is copper with a little bit of purple.

When you see your T in this position, with the legs covering its eyes, it may be stressed.

Nope- old one.
Stressed from being shipped.

Nice start! Good choices!

Big butt= no worries

Some not so good quality venom...

Got a pic?
How big is it?
What are you feeding it?

The butt's big enough- not gonna starve. Why it won't eat? Hard to say. All you can do is continue to try offering it food, leave it in there overnite and hope it eats it. Had a sling that would not eat, i think it got injured struggling with a live mealworm- unfortunately it died a few weeks later. Hopefully that is not the case here. Good luck with your sling.

Nothing new lately- got some coming in but not till end of September-October.

Yeah- around 6.30 AM. My dog woke me up early today to go outside-no choice had to wake up or she will leave me presents on the floor!

Not really countless! I'm trying to cut it to 60 eventually. For me that's just about right. Not too much work to maintain but enough that there is always something happening to keep it interesting.

lol- I know what that's like. My GF thinks I have 40+. She keeps telling me that I cannot buy anymore.
Everytime she asks how many I have I just say "you don't want to know!"

Very cool dad you have!

M. robustum - Another year or two and she will be looking real good!

Junshern: look at the second pic (pic from the front) - its third leg, little black tiny things. Those the spikes you refering too? Have not seen the other side of leg IV either so we'll have to wait and see. It only just started to come out more. Those little black things on leg III just appeared after the last molt so maybe the spikes are something that develops as they grow older.

dizzychef: Thanks. I've heard of the dance but I've never seen it. Hardly ever give any of my T's any reason to show me the dance! M. mesomelas is also a very gorgeous T! There's a guy in my club selling off his collection and he has a mesomelas going for like half of what they usually go for! So tempted! sigh.

Really? Didn't know about that! Good to know! Now I'm not so tempted anymore! My T- room gets really hot in the summer, sometimes up to 92 F!
