Eastwing:
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".
I should do my reading soon but I'm short of time
If this means all the species mentioned are being claused as one particular species, then it may clarified almost all debate about this species however ruining the progressive elements in terms of taxonomy and literature.LOLL
Added on May 29, 2009, 8:27 pmi don think they are being claused as 1 species, the now named Ornithoctoninae G. sp. "Malaysia" used to be know as the Lampropelma violaceopes, then studies showed that the cyriopagopus sp. blue is the lampropelma violaceopes, therefore they re-identify it, and then the ex lampropelma was then re-identified to to be the heplopelma robustom, but unfortunately the name did not stay long as further research showed that it was the Ornithoctoninae G. sp. "Malaysia"
dang all this is making my eyes spin

its vaguely possible, but still a very low chance of it.
pesticides maybe? cos i remember even if you gutload feeders, chances of your pets absorbing nutrients from it is 1% or 0.1%. so i guess it won't be of much effect anyway.
sorry for the loss anyway...
talking about pesticides my Ts have just recently suffered with pesticides, last week there was fogging in my area for 4 days straight, i did all that i could do to prevent my Ts from being exposed to it, what i did was i put my Ts in my room, closed all the windows, closed the door, and stuffed cloth all around the door, 2 days ago 1 of my obt sling died and at the same time i found 1 of my c.andersoni suffering with dyskinetic syndrome, it is now in a icu i made which i learned from the net. i dont think it will make it through as it is getting weaker and weaker
