To update about our t’s, one of the tiny yellow flames that I got in feb went beneath the substrate 3 months or so ago and I got to the point I only picked up the enclosure maybe 2 times a week to check for any sign of it. I read that slings in particular species like these can be difficult or stressful to have as first time t because they rarely eat or sometimes won’t be seen for months and I just trusted that, and then a few days ago I see it at the water cups. Since then it’s out and about and today it was way high on the side almost at the top, first time I’ve seen 1 of the 2 yellow flames climb. It looks slightly bigger, it might have molted though it didn’t change color or appearance, but after months of being underground it certain is active.
I’m concerned about it climbing so high in these taller 4 inch enclosures though so I’ll likely put it the bigger spare container and redo it’s container with new substrate and fill it up higher so it isn’t climbing so high.
I hate to think of messing up its burrows and nest underground, but it would make it safer and maybe it’s the time to do it since it’s spending time back on top.
some pics tomorrow.
Our chilean copper molted again, it’s still tiny and from what I can tell doesn’t seem to be any bigger but it is more colorful and can distinctly see the 2 spots of hairs that confirms it’s a real p scrofa.
The guy I bought it from at a show assured me it was, and at times I thought I could see the 2 spots, but after this molt I’m certain it is.
It’s still only ate 2 times, maybe 3 since may. Still sits out in the open most of time, rarely moves and has never burrowed. I haven’t ever attempted to handle it.
The 2 tiny yellow flames still seem to being doing well and haven’t molted or haven’t had much to eat either, and the 1 inch red flame, likewise, is doing well but hasn’t molted.
To say these dwarf tarantulas are slow growing is an understatement.
Very very pretty T!
