keeping t's
foods : crickets,superworms,mealworms and roaches..
size of feeders: must be equal size of your t's abdomen or smaller than your t's size(whole body)
how often do you feed: once or twice a week is the ideal eating/feeding session for t's but you may also powerfeed your t's( taga adlaw).
when to stop powerfeeding: depende rana mata-mataha lang kng tan-aw nmo dako na kau ang tiyan e compare sa carapace sa imong t's..
size of enclo: twice or trice the size of your t's (i.e. t's size is 2" so enclo must be 4x4x4 or 5x5x5) why? para dli maglisod ug hunt imong t's sa iyang prey..
avoid mites: mites kanang murag koto na puti( how to avoid: after inig hatag nmo ug feeders 8 hrs or 1 day after imo kuhaon ang leftover sa feeders(lamaw)..
signs of premolt: dull color na ang t's (sa iyang leg ,abdomen or whole body nya), dli na mukaon,maghapin nag lawalawa para iyang higdaan ing molt..
tips during pre and post molt
substrate must be semi dump or basabasa (premolt) para dali ra mag change skin kay if uga ra kau naay possibility na ma stock up sya sa old skin kay minus ang moisture ... ayaw disturbuha ang kaka kay ma stress and can result to bad molt( ma potlan ug tiil or ma deads).. , e sure walay feeders na hibilin sa enclo during pre and post molt stage kay kan-on nya sa feeders imong kaka.. avoid mites kanang murag koto..post molt ayaw lang gihapon ug samoka ang kaka kay ma strees nasad and 1 week after sya ni molt dha paka maka feed ug balik kay if new molt sya dli pa gahi ang exoskeleton so dli pa maka hunt/kaon ug taraing ang kaka basin sya ang kan-on..
kapila amg molt ang kaka in a ear/month: depende sa sp. if slow/medium or fas grower imong t's, if power feed ka or not depende sa panahon mas hinay if cold weather..
type of t's terrestrial : naa ra sa yuta mag tambay permi.arboreal tree dweller( tarzan naa mag tambay sa taas permi) borrowing (naa permi sa ilalom sa yuta mga deveil type haha) opportunistic (depende sa type of enclo imong ehatag if taas and naay ka katkatan mahimong arboreal if baga ang substrate mahimog borrowing if saktox2 ra terrestrial..
new and old world t's
new world originate endemic from south and north america and australia( ambot lang kng naa bay t sa aus.) but mostly america..
main defense sa new world t's is flicking hair but not all the time depende sa trip sa kaka
old world found in Europe ,Africa and Asia..
main defense bite dretso but not all coz ang uban mo tago or mu dagan....
esrt type dli kau gusto ug dump enclo forest gusto kau ug dump enclo just imagine the set up of desert and rain forest
maintenance: desert type once a week mist of water but depende sa room temp nmo tan-aw nmo init jud kaau twice a week is good.
rain forest twice a week misting..
temp room sa imong butangannan sa kaka must be same as a lobby temp.. dli init dli bugnaw normal temp ..
things to be consider before keeping t's:
educate your self after that educate the people around you..
