What to FEED????.....(pics)

[WALTER]

You have something BIG and hairy with a attitude what should you feed it?. I better say tarantula before some one takes this a totally different way, lol.
Just sharing some pics of my big be-atch having her monthly mouse. Enjoy.

The mouse is right around the 20g mark. Put up a bit more fight then normal.

Is tat one you got from Bruce Carr at the show ???

[WALTER]

That is the one he had for sale at the show.

The only way I would stick my hands in the cage is if she had something that big in her fangs :)

[manville]

Do you have any T blondis that size for sale?

WALTER:

Freaky photos, love looking at them in photos but in person totally freak me out :D

Nice pictures, but have you had a problem with feeding her live mice yet? Live mice have a tendency to fight back, and I've heard of owners losing their T's to injuries from mice.

[WALTER]

Sorry I do not have any T.blondis. I do have my Haplopelmea lividum (cobalt blue) together so I might have a few of them later this year if everything goes well. I am working with a few others but in no rush on any of them.

As for the mice I have fed quite a few different T's and never had a problem with the mice at all. I do watch just in case they do get a really good mouse but this was the closest I have ever seen the mouse get where it might cause a little trouble for a inexperienced T.

does she leave a lot of mess behind? or does she finish the whole thing?? cant wait for my guys to be big... especially my geniculata;)

[Wrath]

Thanks so much. I'm dreaming with her tonight. Great pics!

[dr greenlove]

Fantastic pics.

You almost have to feel sorry for the mouse.

Almost....:D

[Dan and Kandyce]

That's a great picture. If you want to see something cool though try feeding a live mouse to a large gravid female emperor, now thats something.

[WALTER]

LOL, Gravid scorps are quite mean. Same for when they have the little ones. Try feeding a live one to a large centipede, now that just scares me just a little.

Thanks for the coments as well. :)

[legauln]

great pics ,thats sweet, is that a rose hair tarantula?

[eddiezahra]

what kind is that?

[SaIiLdVaEnR]

Looks like a Xenesthis intermedia to me. Definately not a rosehair legauln.

[Craggy]

I like to feed my spiders live food, small stuff more often. atm i dont have n e full grown but i feed them crix and other spiders to give them a work out, i think chasing their food gives them freedom and exercise... OH and its fun to watch!

Phormictopus cancerides ( Hatian Bird Eater)
Growing up a male to breed with her. Feel sorry for the guy when he gets in her cage, she is just a be-atch
