yup i totally agree with you, but i prefer if people want to make this as their hobby to actually make their own effort then wait for people to answer every single question for them, if not alot of ridiculous questions will be asked, am i correct?

lampropelma and cyriopagopus u mention is the same thing,

check back the literature, that is what I got from my last reading, should I be wrong,

'anyone' diligent enough to dig the info are welcome to share it here  biggrin.gif
*
this has been discussed quite some time back i think, the cyriopagapus sp.blue a.k.a the singapore blue has been re-identified as the lempropelma violaceopes, and i think the previous lampropelma violaceopes has been renamed to a heplopelma sp.

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  sweat.gif
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

i 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 rclxub.gif

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

Sorry to hear about your loss.  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.

oo thx for the tip mr.stew, will do it next time

QUOTE(Izzulogy @ May 30 2009, 01:21 AM)
fogging 4 days straight??? gile...

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.

they do live on the dry side, but be reminded slings need higher humidity compared to adults

I tot those mites feasting on the left-overs are springtails?

BTW...which T is the most dangerous to human?
*
they are not dangerous if no1 plays with them, but referring to venom, the genus poecilotheria has quite potent venom, and ive also read that a stromatopelma calceata venom can cause heart attacks

Cyriopagopus thorelli?
btw,will the wooden hide u using attract mites?
*
no its a cyriopagopus schioedtei, by right the cyriopagopus thorelli does not really exist, i read in an article once that in the beginning all met's found and sold were females, then some1 found a male and hence appeared the c.thorelli which was deemed to be rare. further research shows that the c.thorelli does not exist and the first specimen found was actually a male c.schioedtei

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
