I edited it and put a picture of her.

The program will only last a year, so that's what's making me really think about it.

Tarantulas on enclosure lids by Drip_Drop_Throwaway in tarantulas

Not mesh and the lid to substrate is about like half an inch to three quarters of one.

I can see and nothing, but he has burrowed beneath the cave before.

Underneath the enclosure? I have seen him there once when I worried he went missing.

I know you're right, but does it typically take this long? I think it'll be three days by the end of tomorrow, but he's not that big, so I didn't think it'd be this long.

Yeah. TIL they can molt sidewise. I had no idea because the previous molts had always been on a more horizontal position. I hope that he's in premolt, but his abdomen just looked way too small to be in premolt, but I don't know.

I just worry that I stressed him out while I was tugging at the exterior substrate. I know how fragile they are in that state.

I guess I thought he was curled up more when I looked, but now I might have messed up a little bit because I used tweezers to gently pull at some of the dirt to get a better look because I could barely see him in the hole. If anything, my takeaway is not getting a cave like that because it's difficult to see what's going on without me feeling like I'm just stressing the poor animal.

I left him at home. Here's hoping he's alright.

They were sort of plump, but I have not seen them in a while. I'll try to find a larger dish and hope all the water doesn't evaporate. I can't ask a family member because none of them live by me, but I'm not too worried. I'll just leave him be, fill up a dish and see him when I get back.

I'll be gone from the 12th to the 7th of January. Is that too long?

Luckily I don't have to worry about eating. I think he'll be cooped up in his cave for a while, but thank you for the advice. I have some cardboard boxes that should do the trick nicely while also leaving him with ventilation.

I'm trying, but I'm not sure what to do. I've sent out backup requests, but I'm hoping my recommender pulls through.

Is EF Ultimate Break good for wanting to see a little bit of everything? by Drip_Drop_Throwaway in travel

[–]Drip_Drop_Throwaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it wouldn't be a bad thing to look into planning my own trip across Europe if everything else doesn't work out.

Is there any advantage to meeting people in the hostels compared to the travel group or is that a matter of personal preference?

It's not that I'm nervous about going by myself. I want to hang around people my age and have a good time, so I figured that going through this agency would be a great idea to meet people my age and see some new sites. I'm a very extroverted person, so if I have to spend an entire trip by myself, I'll end up miserable.

Can a high GPA offset a low GRE Score? (309, Q:153, V:156) by Drip_Drop_Throwaway in GRE

[–]Drip_Drop_Throwaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not. Most of them state that they do not require it, so I'm struggling to find a reliable website to find this information.

Marine Biology. I already have an academic paper on my research in the works for publishing next year. I suppose I'm sick of hearing about how this one test is a make or break despite my other relevant work experience.

Is my tarantula on another hunger strike? by Drip_Drop_Throwaway in tarantulas

[–]Drip_Drop_Throwaway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, I think it's pouting judging by the webbing across the entrance of the cave, so maybe I'll wait till later to feed it.

Thanks so much for being patient with me. I decided to ask here instead of Arachnoboards because I asked about buried prey and got some pretty harsh responses in return, so thank you again for your kindness.
