then 2nd and 3rd is a possible female,
the lost is probably due to parasite mites from WC scolopendra or lycodisae, or because powerfeed then the abdomen ruptured, but rupture seems to be the main factor, i guess the mites come after the death. i still don know yet. |

welcome east_wing, may u spread ur wing to west wing soon.
 Added on May 25, 2009, 9:22 pmanyone know any famous entomologist here that can ID my rare ctenidae? people in arachnoboard have helped me narrow down to atleast the genus, now to carry on with the species, we need an expert. Do bear in mind that this could be a possibility of a new species because wandering spider/tropical wandering spider - ctenidus - are badly cataloged. I really hope someone would help me in ID-ing this guy. picture updated, but not so clear, sorry because last time it was my friend's hybrid DSLR:  ventral view:   eyes:  plus a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtD6q26J9BY This post has been edited by aros: May 25 2009, 09:24 PM |

Only once in a blue moon they prey on large animals. My none-cents. Go do a proper reading and share here if anyone is rajin enuff |

"The goliath bird-eating spider (also called the birdeater) (Theraphosa blondi) is an arachnid belonging to the tarantula family and is generally considered to be the largest spider in the world. The spider was named by explorers from the Victorian era, who witnessed one eating a hummingbird and reported the sighting to the Western world.[1]"
this is wat u trying to tell? nhandu chormatus is also called as white striped bird eater, so i believe, bird eater is a name for those genus like lasiodora, theraphosa .....from the genus provided above, we can see , all the tarantula from these 2 genus are all big size one.... and forgot to mention that tarantula = theraphosidae. tarantula main diet would be insects and other arthropods,but they can kill animals as large as lizards ,mice and birds (from wikipedia) |

having presentation about PET just today afternoon.....brought chipmunk,ball phyton, scorpion, centipede and of course tarantula to the class.....
a bit regret due to no time to show the ball phyton to my classmate(borrowed from my taiwanese fren)... happy coz manage to let them know more about these pet... found that some girls know more about all these pet more then guy...lolz i have good material, but too bad, my english is not good.... but i believe the presentation was good in overall,at least i captured their attention to listen to my presentation. aros:i knew all these information since last time.... but to prove what i said is true, have to find the prove from internet..just type the key word tarantula and birdeater, u can find a lot of them. as for the diet for tarantula, i tot it was written there as taking lizard,mice and birds as diet ealier, but after check back, it was written they can kill the animal as size as lizard mice and birds.... |

First of all you should know that there are a lot of name being used by one tarantula alone. 1- scientific name 2- common name / traders name the one in italic is the scientific name, but not so much of a scientific name because it keeps on changing with time as new species are being discovered everyday, for me to keep things easy, the language you don't understand is scientific. Lampropelma Violaceopes, note that viola literally means violet. and the one in English is Singaporean Blue is the common name. However I don't know the status about of Cyriopagopus Sp Blue, nor Ornithoctoninae G. sp. "Malaysia".

It sucks that all that fogging is being carried out and there's no way to stop it. Best you can do is take added precautions next time like placing your T's in large boxes and taping it up with sufficient air to last a few days. It is good that you are sharing this bit of info so others can benefit from it. |

supposedly the slings were killed by ants, nothing to do with the mealworm.
most likely is u left it for too long a period of time, and it attracted ants... |

Helping to keep the venom flowing...
Phormictopus cancerides juvie- have not confirmed sex but I'm guessing female based on the color  And what I think to be the male  Cyriopagopus schioedtei juvie- think this one is a male  Stromatopelma calceatum juvie  Ornithoctoninae G. sp. "Malaysia" juvie AKA "Singapore violet"  |

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.very very nice collection,especially the Ornithoctoninae! |

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.anyway,a male's photo swt,i prefer female.. |

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.

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...

the body u mince little2 oso ler and give the other T.
btw if u are thinking of using ants and mosquito. It is not advisable because first they might have pesticide that they carry with them that might be lethal to your T. Second, you don't know what kind of mites/diseases that can jump to you T and cause other unwanted zoonotic disease due to mutation and what not. Third, the ants/mosquito if not pre-killed can threat your T as well. Fourth, they might not eat it at all. It is not a matter of cruel, it's the food chain, u have to understand that. Unless you are a vegetarian, you should be aware that you are doing the same things to cow and chicken too, then why not consider as cruel? Well easy, its because that is how life goes. So feel free to 'slaughter' the crickets and mealworms to ur T. And oh please, don ask whether you can train the T to eat carrot for a change btw liewxin, I noticed that you are new here, Welcome and enjoy your stay! there is a lot of thing that we can share, I learn a lot from you as much as you learn from me |

Yes I would have to agree because the awareness usually rise within the hobbyist itself. For conservation wise, it is professional to do so. Yes I have to support that. But wiping out the whole species without considering the population I would rather say it is greedy rather than the good side of breeding it. And what not this act of over harvesting are also one of the main contribution that threat the population. I was talking about exploitation by the way, by any means even it is under the name of 'herping' but with bad intentions, it should be oppose. My none-cents. |

Cockroaches would be better than mosquitoes and ants. But you also have the pesticide issue to deal with unless you can be bothered to breed your own cockroaches. I don't know if you can get your hands on some exotic cockroaches over there but B. dubia or B. discoidales(and a few others) are much easier to keep- they can't climb glass/plastic and they can't fly so your risk of an infestation is reduced. You can feed the roach nymphs to your slings. But even if you do decide to breed cockroaches, it'll take you months before your colony can be harvested. So looks like you are stuck with mealworms and crickets for now.This post has been edited by Oldfart: Jun 2 2009, 05:36 AM |

I wonder does i need to give a half dead complete mealworm to them eat or not, since a half dead is still have movement. As currrently im giving them a chop off. But chop off mealworm turns black very fast. If not chop off, the mealworm size is bigger than them. |

drop the hard idea and go back to mealworm, the most simple source of food.
I don't know if you can go any simpler than that. Its clean, safe and cheap. |

Crickets are easier for me. Just dump them in and the T will find it eventually. Mealworms take more time. Have to pre-kill mealworms or I will get beetles running around the enclosure later.

First of all I cannot accept the question not pain or what,
haishh... btw the T is dead, and I'm recording it to remind myself that it is a wrong way to puncture tarantula for preservation cause. Should have done the correct way, but stupid enough carry on this barbaric method because short of pin, then afterwards it all shatter after I removed the pin. lol |

shite, I wish I had a DSLR myself.
Added on June 7, 2009, 6:39 pmPameran Serangga, Muzium Negara.     I would say it is Lampropelma Violaceopes. But I'm too naive to tell it by myself. Come and ID it! The biggest one is 8 inch. Besides when it dies, the coloration fade Here is a ctenidus that I found too. But still, lack of ID. Nothing much to expect as they say it was only part of the collection that they bought. But they are interested when I point to them a little bit about tarantula, they took my contact and hopefully we can work things out with them. I wonder where uncle Dennis has went to all this while. p/s: I can try to find collaborator within this week if you are interested in it. It would be easier if we keep in contact.

Just now concern about the dampness so i turn the substrate over to let the dry 1 on top...after i put it onto the substrate it still go and stick to the wall.
It is quite thin so i'm afraid if it dun come down then it cant eat.(Sry 4 the wrong info,aros,some1 just confirmed it is thin) I drop a half-dead mealworm on the subs. Hope it will eat it. This post has been edited by HyourinMaru: Jun 10 2009, 12:44 AM |

QUOTE(HyourinMaru @ Jun 9 2009, 09:44 AM) Just now concern about the dampness so i turn the substrate over to let the dry 1 on top...after i put it onto the substrate it still go and stick to the wall. Most T's like to hide- it makes them feel more secure since they are practically blind and vulnerable to predators from the top. If they have nowhere to hide, it might be the reason it is on the wall. Use something roughly slightly bigger than the size of its butt like a pen or finger and make a hole in the substrate by the side of the enclosure as deep as you can. Make sure your substrate is also packed a little tight so the hole does not collapse. The hole on the side allows the sling to find it easier since they tend to walk along the sides. Prey items like crickets also tend to walk along the sides so they will eventually come upon the hole where your sling can ambush them. Having the burrow on the side also allows you to check on them if they continue to expand the burrow (sometimes they will move away from the sides but more often than not they continue along the sides till they hit the bottom) The hole needs to be big enough for it to crawl in but not so big that it does not feel secure. Your sling will eventually find it and it will settle down quicker. Good luck. It is quite thin so i'm afraid if it dun come down then it cant eat.(Sry 4 the wrong info,aros,some1 just confirmed it is thin) I drop a half-dead mealworm on the subs. Hope it will eat it. ETA: Most of my slings tend to find the started burrow and settle within it within the first few hours. When it starts to expand on it, then you know it has adopted it as its home. Then it's easy from that point on. This post has been edited by Oldfart: Jun 10 2009, 02:26 AM |

HyourinMaru : OBT as you know, lives on the dry side. Don worry, normally for my style i don wet the substrate, only spry droplets for them to drink. As i know the humidity around my room/normal malayisan humidity is at least 60-70% which for my idea is sufficient for them to molt. Keep it on the drier side and give it some time. I bet your T will turn out just fine.

Depends on how big your tarantula is. Honestly I feed live food because I think there's better chance of the T eating it .and I have a juve C. andersoni turned into a male few days ago.

The younger the T, the more willing it is to take food that is already dead. As they grow older, they are less willing to take dead food. A live prey that moves about has a better chance of getting a feeding response from a T. Take a look at the 20 second video in my signature. You will notice the T did not make a move till the cricket started to move in the top right corner. Notice that there was a cricket right in front of it - but it went for the other one that was further away because it was moving. My apologies for the video not being very clear- it was taken with my digital camera.ETA: link to video  This post has been edited by Oldfart: Jun 15 2009, 07:59 AM |

Any T will eat live food- just got to find the right sized prey items. Fortunately, small slings will take dead food if small prey items are hard to find. Most slings under an inch will take dead food. Slings at about an inch start to get picky- some will stop taking dead food at that size. But I had a few that were more than an inch and they will still take a cricket with the head ripped off. Some T's won't go after prey that is too big. One rule of thumb that I've heard is to feed prey items about the size of its abdomen. Some slings will tackle prey that is about its size but I would not recommend it because the sling could get injured. Look at the butt- is it fat? If it is, don't worry, it may be full. Does the butt look dark? If so, it could be in pre-molt. Some slings will stop eating when it is near a molt- some will eat up to the day it molts. |

Slings are opportunistic- they will use whatever is available to them. And if they don't have anything, most will burrow. Exceptions are avics- never met one that would burrow. |

Yes and no. Yes, do not feed them immediately after they molt. No, it's not because their skin is too thin. Like Foxngn said, their fangs need to harden first. The bigger the T, the longer you need to wait for its fangs to harden. For slings, a few days to a week will suffice. Again, like Foxngn said, the color of their fangs are a good indicator as to how long to wait. There's no need to rush to feed the T after it molts- they can survive a long time without food. I had a G. pulchra sling that did not eat for more than three months. And I've heard of others who say their T did not eat for almost a year and it was fine.all the info i get from this Molting This post has been edited by Oldfart: Jun 11 2009, 02:58 PM |

What i observe they just tend to make their own web structure as home no matter what you provide them. If you like, you can try put a bark and see how it goes, do give a try urself to see the effects. Just personal preferance, wont do great harm if ur worried but make sure ur bark is steralized to kill of microorganism. Using methods like Bake/steam or any method u can think off.MR HIKANO: NOT ADVISABLE to feed freshly molted Ts as you can see many keepers here told you the effects. But nasty me did try b4 feeding slings after a day after freshly molted might be lesser. Suprisingly it ate the live mealworm perfectly. |

Yeah, there have been keepers that have setup communal tanks, but just a handful of T species. So far the trick is to find sac mates. I've heard it done with some pokies, avics, Holethele incei and the famous chicken spider is also rumored to be communal. There was also someone who tried to do a communal tank experiment with a bunch of rare/expensive t's (don't remember the species). Don't know how that one turned out.This post has been edited by Oldfart: Jun 12 2009, 10:47 PM |

Arent they jst suck de juice from it? T's secrete enzymes that reduce their prey's flesh into a soupy cocktail that they drink. Not everything is reduced though so you do end up with a small ball of leftovers which can be hard to see on the substrate surface. Here's a pic of a juvie P. regalis almost done with its meal. Even in its fangs, it's barely recognizable. Before  And after...  |

QUOTE(*FallenAngel* @ Jun 12 2009, 11:07 AM) kk, thx guys... learn my lessons... hehe... will try hard 2 find de leftover... Actually, I wasn't telling you to remove the leftover, just trying to show you what the leftovers look like. I suspect a mealworm bolus is even smaller and harder to find. Personally I rarely remove the bolus from my enclosures. My eyesight is so bad I have a hard time finding it. If you can be bothered to remove what's left, kudos to you!  I do remove uneaten dead crickets though. It is recommended that you remove uneaten stuff and the boluses as they can attract mites and/or grow fungus. But the choice is yours- I have not had any problems leaving the boluses in there other than the occasional fungus (these I can see!) But if you ever feed your T's a mouse like my friend Aros , I'd definitely recommend removing what's left. |

QUOTE(Oldfart @ Jun 13 2009, 12:41 AM) T's secrete enzymes that reduce their prey's flesh into a soupy cocktail that they drink. Not everything is reduced though so you do end up with a small ball of leftovers which can be hard to see on the substrate surface. Here's a pic of a juvie P. regalis almost done with its meal. Even in its fangs, it's barely recognizable. female?Before And after... |

Just wondering something, since T's can endure for not eating for a long period, does that apply to the sling too ? i mean not in the period of molting of course. Given an example that a sling abdomen is still bigger than its head. Is it ok to not feeding it til its abdomen get a bit smaller?

by all means, I do think that they look nicer naturally than on our hands. handling them only stress them out, unless if you really need the handling for check up and stuff, then it is inevitable, not advisable whether it threats the life nor it doesn't, its common sense. And when you do the thing you do, you always make sure that your safety is the top priority and always know what you're handlingl body language, venom potency, speed level and temperament. these sort of stuff. |

I don't think sand is a good choice because they don't absorb water as well as coco fiber and sand is heavier compared to coco fibers.

QUOTE(HyourinMaru @ Jun 13 2009, 09:39 AM) I'm sory if i'm the 1 making big fuss anout it I've seen threads on other forums of people who have used sand for T's that come from dry places. These are normally people who believe in trying to duplicate the natural environment of where the T is from. From what I've read, their T's are doing fine. Other keepers believe sand is very abrasive and should not be used. And some mix sand with something else. Personally, I don''t see a real good reason for using it as many people do just fine with coco peat even for T's that come from dry arid places. Like leetplayer said, sand is heavier, a lot heavier than coco peat. .ANW...is there any T dat its substrate using sand 1?Cos most T i knw use coco-fibre...Added on June 14, 2009, 1:18 am QUOTE(rideon @ Jun 13 2009, 10:00 AM) just a question.. does an adult rosea always stay still and only move acouple of cm each mins... coz that what mine is doing... does it need a water bowl? how about its enclosure?? A happy T does not move very much - so I don't see anything wrong with your T. A water bowl is recommended since rosies like it dry. Unless you have a sling, avoid misting and give it a place to go for a drink. Or you can mist one side of the enclosure and leave the rest of it dry.Added on June 14, 2009, 1:01 amsorry noob here..
