Brachypelma Vagans

May 18, 2013
I got this B.Vagans together with the C.Darlingi. It was a package deal from the dealer for only 500 pesos.  It's 1 inch when I got it. I tried to touch it but it's not that sensitive it won't react that much when I touched the tip of its legs unlike my other T's. I'm assuming that it's sick, I don't know.  Then when I feed it the first time. It was actually aggressive to the prey. It grabs the prey right after a few seconds of circling the container. Right now I still put the spider in its original container. The transparent KFC gravy container. This spider is a good eater, it already ate 2 small lats. One of the reason I want to get a bigger T is that it can kill a prey, you don't have to give them a pre-killed prey.

Width: 1 inch
Behavior: Docile, doesn't react too much when touched.
Feeding: 2 lats in a row, eats the prey alive.

The B.Vagans is still a little bit sluggish today. I haven't given it some food yet, I know he won't eat it anyway. It's still under its burrow, I'll wait for it to come out and wander at the surface before I give it something to eat. Hopefully it's in a pre-molt. I'm very excited to see the adult color of this spiderling. 


June 1, 2013 - Molt
This morning I saw the B.Vagans together with the old exoskeleton. I knew that it just molted because some part of the exoskeleton was still in the abdomen. Looking at the third picture, the red abdomen is noticeable, the red rump. However, It still looks like a spiderling to me.
