hey guys, thanks for the warm welcome..anyway, juz curious, do u guys hold ur T's often or u guys rarely touch em..i mean letting em walking at ur hands..coz, i'm kinda scared la..and i even read that, it's best if we don't touch em as often as we like...and, i seriously doubt if i can clean up d sarang..if only u could guide me a lil bit on how to clean up la..

and when u mentioned roaches, is it the one that we found at our house?

Welcome luc n predator to the hobby.....
Predator : They seldom bite (for some species). Handling are not advisable coz they are display pets. . About clean up, we dont do much maintenance, except pick up the food leftovers after feeding and some weekly misting.
Luc : There are basically 2 main groups of tarantula, old world and new world. As lester said, only new world kick hairs and on the other hand old world are more aggressive (these are their defensive mechanism). Tilll now there is still 0 case of death due to tarantula's bite, so... dun worry smile.gif Just make sure you dun provoke them and they will be tame as your kitten  tongue.gif

Ok!noted!now i can have confidence a bit la to jaga my T. smile.gif ..u guys are the most frendliest forum i've ever found la..good thing i join u guys..hey, i tot T has 3 ways of being defensive..1st, they will run away from us, second, they kick those hairs and last, they'll make themselves bigger rite?so, when u mentioned bout old and new world, how do know if my T is in those category? blink.gif

most of us here only feed our T's with cricket or mealworms. pinkies are not suggested diet. To make them grow fast is to feed them continuously but that will fasten its death n thus oso making it burst due to falls or sharps things that u may not notice. So its up to u.. i tend to feed my T untill its fat n stop till they molt again.. still waiting for my rosea to molt... shes fat but duwan molt...

ehy?if the T got fat, and it falls suddenly, can burst ah d perut? doh.gif
hmm..been browsing through the MTS site, and still learning.. smile.gif
but i like the zebra T..very nice la..

old... i cant recall how old coz i got her like a month ago.. and she molted last week. This sp are burrowers they will spend most of its time underground. but will web like crazy on the subs above n below to detect its prey running along it. its hard to see these guys out and about.. always stays in its burrow.. Temperament very aggressive and eats like a pig.. just drop a mealworm inside or the entrance of its hide it will come out n take the prey item.. interesting to observe...

About this obt, i got 2 currently, 1 is around 1 inch plus and 1 more is 2 cm.... I never saw the big guy post any threat pose yet but the small guy keep on show me its fang... damn...  doh.gif

Depends wat T u r talking,some may b fast grower some mayb slow.But feeding and temperature do affect a T growth rate.BTW dun think it is good to feed the dead mealworm dat ady start to chg color to ur T.Is ur rosea fat?Then it is nvm,it wont die so fast plus rosea is slow grower,which mean its metabolism also slow smile.gif
And Ts r hardy

ok bro, thanks for the info..guess i need to throw away la the the worm..hmm..well, was hoping that my T would molt..tongue.gif..maybe i'm just to anxious to see my t grow.. brows.gif
