Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It Moved!!
I was cleaning out one of ATB cages this evening - she was laying on the substrate (makes me wonder why I bothered fitting and installing perches  ), so I took her out to give her a once over. She had a small lump about the size of a quarter sticking out one side - low, pretty much right where her belly turns into her side. She started stretching out and it was still very noticeable, so I lightly ran my index finger over it. When I touched it, it moved!! When I looked again, the lump was gone.

Actually, the female is gravid, and pretty well swollen with babies. This one must have gotten pressed outward because of the position mom was lying in - explaining the lump. Nothing to do but keep waiting.

I handle all of them. Some tolerate it pretty well, others don't...the have always fallen into the category with the heading: I DON"T CARE IF THEY BITE. lol. The ones that are most likely to bite, I know when to expect it (...well, that goes for the ones that rarely bite, also). They're pretty easy to read.

Wow Harald, that's great news!
Hopefully I have some gravid females too. Mine are still eating. Is the female that you spoke about in this thread still eating?

Thanks Harald. I was hearing so much negative rep about ATBs that I almost wrote off keeping them! Good to know that you can still handle the guys!!
What size cages do you keep yours in?

I use 24x24x24 and 24x18x24 Jungle Habitats cages, and 78 qt sterilites for the adults. Smaller ones in smaller sterilites
