QUOTE(littlesaint @ Jun 17 2009, 02:34 PM) thx mr.stew for the link, this is originally where i got the information from, imo i think c.thorelli's on sale in the market is just a way of selling the c. schioedtei for a much higher price Maybe. I've not seen anyone selling any C.thorelli in the US. When dealers were selling the C. schioedtei as C. thorelli, I think the dealers were just going with what the exporter labeled them as. Eventually the word got out and now I have not heard it called thorelli for some time. But I would not be surprised if there are some shady individuals out there trying to take advantage of some noobs in the hobby. |

QUOTE(HyourinMaru @ Jun 18 2009, 11:36 PM) Wow...looks like a going-to-explode balloon to me. Quite dangerous for T if too fat rite? Dangerous if they take a fall. Fortunately this one doesn't leave her burrow much.
Added on June 19, 2009, 2:53 pmQUOTE(aros @ Jun 18 2009, 11:37 PM) fire marking, robust legs? lol- need to measure the leg for this one. Been waiting for a molt. Looks like she's due anytime now. This post has been edited by Oldfart: Jun 19 2009, 02:53 PM |

QUOTE(junshern222 @ Jun 19 2009, 02:42 AM) why not a clear shot of the carapace? looks like a haplo.. It was puchased as H. longipes. Bought a few H.longipes from 4 different dealers- was trying to find if any dealer had true H. longipes. So far, I have doubts about all of them. Will know for sure once I've had a chance to measure and compare legs I and IV. |

QUOTE(s98432512 @ Jun 19 2009, 08:41 AM) How big was their mama? See if you can get some more info from the seller like which country it is from- that will help to narrow down the list of likely candidates. This post has been edited by Oldfart: Jun 20 2009, 04:44 AM |

QUOTE(leetplayer @ Jun 22 2009, 08:52 AM) sume cakap melayu mr.stew tak pham lar. lol- don't worry about me- I remember enough to get most of it. Good practice! But the slang/shorthand/whateveryoucallit escapes me- what the heck is "xde?" ETA: NM, I finally figured it out. Back in 2007, I had 3 half inch slings, only the one in the pic made it- have not sexed it but I'm guessing female. I had another half inch sling early this year but somehow it escaped.

QUOTE(rideon @ Jun 22 2009, 06:27 PM) wow.. didnt know that gigas can swim or stayed in water so soo long.,.. I've heard of people soaking their haplopelma tanks in the kitchen sink for almost an hour and the T's were fine but I don't think I'd dare to try it on mine! Speaking of things to try, Aros, I've got one for you. Flip your T over on its back and it will stay like that motionless on your hand for a good 20 minutes or so! Read it in a thread on AB way back in 2004. Think it will be a cool thing to show people at the show! Just cup the T with both hands, one on top, one on the bottom, bottom hand should avoid the fangs of course. Then flip it on its back slowly, wait for T to settle and remove the hand. T SHOULD stay motionless like it is in a trance. Disclaimer: Should you decide to try this, and get bit, I am not responsible! ETA: Went and found the thread if anyone is interested.

Added on June 23, 2009, 12:57 pmar... so now i got it... the urticating hairs really irritating.. my hands are all iching heavily.. never had this problem. and i read that the after effects when u got ur self urticating hairs on ur skin.. anyone had the same thing?? Don't know. Never been haired directly. But I've had my palms and eyes itch for no reason. Might have come into contact with U hairs indirectly.

Added on June 23, 2009, 1:10 pmso damn itchy on my hands.. and small pimples of fluid are arise from the skin... i had this for weeks now.. Next time, if you know you've been haired, I've heard others say duct tape works well for removing the hairs. This post has been edited by Oldfart: Jun 23 2009, 01:26 PM |
