Have you properly quarantined the L. megatheloides enclosure? Linda's behaviour was really weird, reminds me of early parasitic infection signs. You should take a look at her chelicerae ventrally. If you spot some weird ooze, that might be worrying... Hope all your Ts are ok!

[@tierraxblades]

This needs more likes so Petko sees it. I didn't think of that. I'm personally going to go with roach might have been a bit to big or tough (ever the optimist lol) but I would definitely do a check because you never know!!!

[@ARTofTY-TV]

Please like to boost!

[@TheDarkDen]

Yes, that thing crossed my mind...that's why I got worried :s

[@Falloutman216]

@@TheDarkDen I think she just got a bit spooked from the hisser and it made her unsure, like how when they realise they catch something that isn't food they stop eating it. Lots of species are prone to this, even the greedy species.

[@metalwraith6162]

@@Falloutman216 I agree with you, until such time as unusual behaviour could be identified suggesting parasites then I'm also thinking she got herself spooked, we have an adult female Lp and she did the exact same with a hisser, as soon as those fangs hit and didn't penetrate she let go and backed off, almost identical to Linda in this vid so no cause to worry until there's something to worry about.

[@SkyeSpider]

I always worry when you’re feeding hissers to things. In my 20+ years keeping, I’ve seen so many tarantulas injure their fangs on them. They really should never be used for feeders due to the risk. It doesn’t happen every time, but when it does, it’s awful.

[@seanrallis6714]

@@SkyeSpider 90% of the time, it's fine. But that's still a bit of a risk. I won't even feed crickets, because of their strong jaws. Lats and occasional worms only.

[@FonzieKree]

I have several tags from assassin bugs (my favourite terrarium species), and I gotta say it's the most painful bite I got so far - felt like bullet ant but shorter duration.

[@thesteelbutterfly]

I was thinking of getting a Grammostola pulchra, as my first T. There’s just something about the velvety jet black look is what’s appealing and love their temperament.

[@seanrallis6714]

They are beautiful, and make a good first species. Personally, I'd recommend a Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens or a Caribena versicolor, but I like colorful tarantulas lol

[@thesteelbutterfly]

Sean Rallis Indeed, those are great species to start off too, especially for their aesthetics. I was also looking to getting a Grammostola pulchripes as well and the Green Bottle Blue of course. Lots of great looking T’s to start with! It’s just a matter where I can place them. ;////

[@seanrallis6714]

@@thesteelbutterfly are you in the US? If so, I would highly recommend Jamie's Tarantulas. As a second option, I would reccomend FearNot Tarantulas. Both should have what you want in stock.

@@seanrallis6714 That's funny to me! I got my first tarantula May 7th, C. Cyaneopubescens. A little sling. She's about 1.5 inches atm.

I always wanted one and I managed to keep a curly hair sling in my room without my parents knowing. Had it for about a year and then they discovered it. My buddy kept it and it lived another year and a half and it ended up being a male... After that tarantula died I found the Dark Den and then I went out and got a female pink toe and a chaco golden knee sling. Still have both :)
