| I would think there is a chance she could squeeze through that if she was hell bent on escaping. My OBT is huge but his burrow looks titchy, he unfolds out of it its incredible. I think the measure would be the carapace, if thaat fits through the rest could too but I think with the flexibility in the body you'd have to take that into account too. |

cheers still learning spider anatomy. on the carapace what is the dip/hole type bit? is it just the shape or accutally for something
had a look at what is it.
Tarantulas have an indention near the middle of the carapace. It often looks like a hole. It's an apodeme which serves as an internal attachment point for muscles.
also refered to as the fovea depending on where you read it, apparently theres different names depending on whos reaserch you read |

| Hi. I noticed you said you smoked. This will sound like a lecture but it's not. Lol. You should wash your hands after a fag and before handling your T. Nicotine is an insecticide and could make yout T poorly or even kill it. Sermon over. Good luck |

I'll extend it to wash your hands regardless of whether you smoke or not before and after handling any of your exotic animals.
Nicotine is a poison to all living things. Residual nicotine on your hands or breath is very unlikely to cause any issues. Not sure about the before and after measurements of nicotine on washed hands either but it cant hurt. Never smoke around children, animals and ducks. |

new advise is allways good, nicotine on my hands never crossed my mind to be honest will scrub hands when i get round to holding her while sober.
Never smoke around children, animals and ducks.
why ducks separate from animals? |

'Cause you can never trust a duck!

Yeah I smoke, sometimes a lot, and then get paranoid and guilty about scrubbing my hands before touching a snake or any of its belongings.
Good news that nicotine's an insecticide, bad news that snakes can't smoke, otherwise they could all light up and zap resident mites lol!
