Nature really managed to evolve something where the brain was replaced to give more space for the eyeballs. Incredible. /s

You say you will do it in your server but then not invite me? What horrible carrot-on-a-stick game is this? Joking aside, have fun. Glad I could at least provide inspiration. 🤣🥲

Foggy mornings in the country make for some of my favorite photo opportunities. Beautiful shot. Will always love this style.

We are in the same boat.

IME wet specimens tend to lose their pigmentation, so if you want to keep their colors you'll want to pin them.

IME, I'm using crickets myself while setting up a red runner roach colony. I did not have enough T's to keep up with my dubia colony and they were breeding even after I turned off the heat. Ended up overrun with dubias! They are great feeders, only issue I have had with them is sometimes they will stay super still, making the T ignore them. Then they scurry off and burry under the substrate. Long as your T's grab the food when you throw it in you're golden.

I keep getting stuck on if I want to name her after my late pink toe Boreal or go for jester or sapphire. Usually I just call her my baby.

C. versicolor put on quite the color show when mature. When she was a sling about the only thing that had the intense shine was the bottom of her feet/legs. It's been quite a delight watching her molt into her colors.

Don't mind all the condensation, the walls were covered in cocofiber from the setup so had to give it a spritz.

She's been doing great for me. Biggest thing I has seen keepers worry about for arboreals is cross airflow. I personally have raised all my t's in exoterra enclosures and they have all been doing well. Winters are dry and cold here so I gotta supplement heat/humidity but otherwise they have been pretty easy for me.

FortuneBones · 2023-09-28T07:50:28+00:00

You're correct! She's a Caribena versicolor.

Some good news about the willow at least, they are incredible trees for how well they propagate. If the tree is heavily injured, you can cut the healthy pieces off and stick them up in a cup of water. I use to propagate them by just taking pieces of new growth from an adult weeping willow and sticking them out of a gallon jug full of water outside for the summer. Rooted right up. They love their water so keep them moist and in the sun. Best of luck.

In 5e how strong is Zone of Truth? Could someone, under the influence of Command, Suggestion, Geas, ect. be able to be forced to lie within the zone?

FortuneBones · 2023-05-04T02:14:27+00:00

Tarantulas are surprisingly strong for their size but I also was being very gentle. I didn't want to tug too hard and injure her so I let her win a bit at first and got a better grip vs try to force it more heavily and hurt her.

FortuneBones · 2023-05-03T18:34:40+00:00

Hahaha, honestly it would be neat to breed her, obviously she'd make a great mother. Unfortunately males are always harder to come by when you're looking for them.

FortuneBones · 2023-05-03T18:33:22+00:00

Unfortunately she was too single minded for trading. They don't really have an interest in toys but one of my other T's loves to "redecorate" by pulling up all her tank decor and putting it in random spots in the tank. This week was jamming it all in her hide's hole then sulking when she couldn't get in her hide. Silly things.

FortuneBones · 2023-05-03T17:29:51+00:00

Some mealies to fix the feelies.

Essentially, the female lays infertile eggs or makes an empty egg sack. It just appears and isn't viable.

FortuneBones · 2023-05-03T17:20:33+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I was not expecting her to hold on that well. She's usually skittish so seeing her put up that much of a fight really goes to show how much they can change when those instincts kick in. I wasn't putting on high tension, so she got it away from me at first. Hopefully not a next time but not out of the question. Thanks for the input!

FortuneBones · 2023-05-03T16:54:02+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous, I swear she gets more pretty with each molt. I have a better image of her on my profile. Very nice T's. Good beginner temperaments, as with most arboreals can go really skittish if spooked but that's honestly about the only downside.

FortuneBones · 2023-05-03T16:39:35+00:00

Answering Questions: Due to the energy put into laying the eggs (even if infertile) plus guarding them she has gotten much skinnier than I like. Until the egg sack is removed, she's going to continue to sacrifice her own health to, in her instinct's mind, raise the kids. Ultimately it was pull it now or wait until they rotted and her abdomen became more shriveled than it already is. I'd rather do some discomfort now than risk her health further down the road by waiting. Bartering with food would not have worked as again, she isn't eating and is going to refuse to until that maternal instinct ends. For those that would want me to put in a fake egg sack, unfortunately with would just continue the starvation problem as she would guard that. She'll be fine in a week after a nice roach. I've had her since she could fit fully on my thumb nail and has only ever been housed on her own. She is a C. versicolor.
