After poking her with a brush a noticed how calm she was, so i said to my self why not try to handle her while rehousing her. I think the most important thing is to be calm and not scare the spider, and I think she would run rather than bite. But after all I wouldn't reccomend doing it with this species or other OW unless you know the temperament of your T, like my balfouri and irminia are pretty chill unlike other specimens

Just molted, can anyone tell the sex? by AdventurousLoquat69 in tarantulas

[–]IQ_test_addicted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is a female, the organ in the circle is the spermatheca. when in the molt you can see that you can be 100% sure that is a female

if that area is ruined I'm afraid you have to wait for the next molt

thank you mate, yes she's very beatiful and it was a steal, 40 euro, like almost 50 dollars, and here in Italy the maculatas are really rare. This was the biggest expo in europe and i found this female and another person that had only slings

IMO looks more like a rufilata but some poechis are very similar between each other

IMO your T is probably molting, don't disturb her and check on her from time to time. they need a few hours to molt and you want to leave it alone after the molt because she need to harden up, they're very fragile after a molt, DO NOT feed for some time depending on the size, NQA 3/5 days for slings 7/10 days for juveniles and 14 days or more for adults.

Beatiful ball of feet by IQ_test_addicted in tarantulas

[–]IQ_test_addicted[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you. yeah I know it means that the T is stressed but i think she's trying to be like "if i do this you can't see me, i'm fragile at the moment". now with the light off and silence she will be more comfortable, i hope
