Perhaps it is just over worry of me, but better ask than sorry.
I pet two avicularia versicolor which I pet since they are sling. I live in tropical country and I keep my T in a hot room, around 27 - 29 C. I pet it in plastics enclosure with a few plastic plant decoration, no substrate used, a small waterdish (both of my T seem to dump what they ate in water dish, does your T did this too?) and air holes which I cover by thin clothes so that flies cannot enter. But it did enter in one of my T enclosure. it is small flies. In another cage where flies didn't enter, the Tarantula are eating fine and she eat the small roach until it dries out. but in the other cage where flies enter, she just eat half of them, and I found out later day the roach has rot and stink (Sometime I forgot to check the next day, so it is 2 days or 3 days after feeding). With the flies pupae far from the roach dead body but on my spider nest, but not on the spider body (Or so I think). Is it a common behavior for not suck the prey until it dries? or there's something wrong with my T? (hopefully not...) It is happening not only once, but several times. I did clean the cage but the flies coming again.
My tarantula eating habit is around 3 days or 1 week or 2 weeks (3 days or 5 days or 1 week if the prey small, 2 week if the prey is bigger than them). They would eat anything even if it is bigger than their abdomen size. They are 5 cm now. Usually I give them small madagaskar roach which I breed myself. But some time ago, I lack of food. All of small roach has depleted and juvenile roach around 6 cm and adults are what's left. So I fed both of my T 6 cm roach. They eat it fine. But now, one of my T didn't even suck the 3 cm roach dry. Why? And I wish to know what kind of flies I face. flies encyclopedia? I don't know if I can get a good picture of the flies, as it is very small (mine is not a really great camera).
Oh yes, what is the best age to mate avicularia versicolor?
