Hello guys,i need a lil bit of identification help here~
This sling looks like Psalmopoeus Irminia or Psalmopoeus Cambridgei?
I bought this as P. Irminia but it seems more like P. Cambridgei to me.
coz i kept a P. Irminia sling before this and the "tiger stripes" marking is much more obvious than how it looks at those pictures below~




* sorry for the lousy picture quality,these are the best i could capture~

and wat do u guys normally use for climbing furniture for those arboreal Ts?
coz i placed a wood vertically(lean on container's wall) in the container but after 2 days white color fungus started to grow at the bottom of the wood due to contact wif humid soil~
guess tats not a good thing for my Ts...

Thx~

Old Fart: Really NICE Haplopelmas!!!

Normally how do u guys clean up those burrowers leftover foods?
Lets assume tat its burrow is real deep and its bengkang-bengkok tat not a straight tweezer can reach~

s98432512: Very interesting "Cross Mark".Perhaps it can increase its value if this is permanent.

OldFart: Perhaps i shud bend my tweezer. xD

its fast,but not the fastest growing T.
Some internet sources tell tat it can grow to 6inches within a year if well fed,but LOL,i doubt tat~
kinda sarcastic.4-5 inches can be possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MCQ question:
Btw,wat does this look like to u guys?



A.) Male
B.) Female
C.) Unknown due to poor picture quality
D.) I dunno

thx for the help

oh...seems i hav no luck wif female Ts~

Thanks for the comfort.

btw its a very tiny(1 inch++) curly hair

Its actually 1inch++.Not really measure accurately but i think more or less 1inch.
Btw,the pic was taken by a Canon DSLR(dunno wat model).
Glad tat ur L.Para is doin good!
lets see whose get bigger then,i picked up one head to be added to my own collection as well and it grew quite a lot oso.

thx for the advise,
perhaps i wait til it gets bigger and sex it again.

hi guys~
need help here.
I was spending almost 2 hours daily juz for killing ants tat invade my Ts' enclosures and those on the shelf tat i put my Ts.
Eventhou i killed 1000 of them,there're still another 1000 of them waiting for me the next day i wake up.
really pissed me off~Geramnya~~~
So i made a container filled wif water and put them at each of the "legs" of the shelf im using to put my Ts.
And guess wat,those ants even go inside the water and attempt to swim across to reach the shelf.
Althou 90% of them will drown in the sea,but i was suprise tat there're still survivors!!!
So,the conclusion is,the water method doesnt work.
They can ignore their life juz to mess wif my Ts.

All the while im putting my Ts in my room.
when i 1st started wif ony 1 tarantula,there's no ants problem.
Now as my Ts number increasing,the amount of ants also increasing~!
I clean my Ts' enclosure everytime after they eat,there's no visible food leftover.
And i can ony place my Ts in my own room coz im living wif housemates.

Any other method i can prevent those ants?

thx~

where can i get this?
thx

and where i can get this as well?
are u talking about the same thing as Oldfart or its a different thing?
i'd like to try both.
