This is an unlabelled T in the pet store. Size is about 5-5.5". I think it's an adult female Boehmei, am I right? Bicoloratums can't get this big right... Yeah I know you shouldn't buy poorly kept T's in pet shops, but I just had to in this case...
Anyway, she was found wall-standing in a small kritter keeper, with the substrate FULL of mites and cricket nymphs. When I say full, I'm not kidding either - imagine bee hive density! I doubt I will ever see so much mites in my life, ever.
She is now the biggest T in my keeping. An boy did I had a hard time transferring her to her current better home! She's a clumpsy climber, and she makes this sound - something between a snake's hiss and a cricket's chrip - when she's in panic mode. Is that a regular feature for adult Brachypelma's? :?
She seems fine now, having had 2 gravid house crickets and 2 male fighting crickets. And last time I checked, there seems to be no mites on her.
