My GBB, my favorite T died today...

But I noticed that my Whiteknee was hungry so...

I decided to do some recycling...

Lopez · Nov 17, 2003

I have done this in the past with dead tarantulas. Another spider makes quite a substantial meal.

Did you mate him before his death?

Tito · Nov 17, 2003

Nope, I tried finding a female but no luck. Hopefully I'll find a new GBB next year.

Sorry to hear about your GBB

Unlucky.

You may want to try advertising males on the British Tarantula Society bulletin board in the future - it's a shame to see a male go to waste

where's the green in your gbb?
how did the gbb die? and could that affect the white knee's health?

MizM · Nov 17, 2003

In the interest of science, I TRY to keep R.I.E.S.M. in mind whenever I lose a T. But, Ts are an excellent source of protein, so, why not?

And, it's usually SO HARD to just toss them in the trash!

So sorry for your loss! (Go buy a new one)

(Now)

(Maybe two)

He died an old man, can't see it hurting the genic.

Immortal_sin · Nov 17, 2003

well, it sure was a COLORFUL meal!
Good that you recycled him...I'm sure the genic appreciated it anyway

webspinner · Nov 17, 2003

I tell ya today must be a great day for dying. I lost my T today as well, C.thorelli (Malaysian Earth Tiger) :8o

I really like that contrast on those pictures, very nice

Later,

AudreyElizabeth · Nov 17, 2003

Beautiful pictures! Beautiful spiders! I'm sure he made a good meal.

Sorry you lost your favorite one though.

MrT · Nov 17, 2003

Did you buy him as a sling?
If so, how long did he live?
Did you keep molt records, if so how many molts?

Amazing picture...how big is that frikkin white knee...looks huge!!!

Aviculariinae · Nov 18, 2003

Its a pity, i was looking for a mature male to breed with my female ah well ill have to keep looking,at least you got some use out of him,he made a nice meal.

Wh1teshark · Nov 18, 2003

Nice pictures.

And now a stupid question: is the big spider a A. Geniculata?

rosehaired1979 · Nov 18, 2003

Its not a stupid question and yes that what it is

avmaviator · Nov 18, 2003

...

Talk about sucking the life out of it! !

On the third pic, the abdomen is all deflatted, that genic is hungry.
Mine is only 1.25 and it eats like a pig.

Can't wait for them to grow as big as the one in the picture.
