Hey there people can you give advice on this, I went to feed my sub adult Venezuelan sun tiger one of these but it dropped in and tunnel down out of sight. I took out the entire setup and couldn’t find it but it may still be in there. Would my suntiger handle this if it tunnels down and what should I do
Hi! I recently got into tarantula keeping, and I'm looking for other beginner keepers to grow with :) I'm 17, and I love animals a lot. I just thought it would be fun to have a friend with the same interests as me that I can learn alongside. It's unfortunately not easy to find people who also love spiders, lmao. 🥲
So I of course already want me second T after only 3 weeks of loving my baby Chalcodes sling lol I’m itching to buy another. Went to get my baby meal worms today at my local pet store and saw these and while I absolutely don’t like the thing they’re all kept in on top of the tiny enclosures I did see a B. Hamorii and B . Bohemia I believe it was called that were amazing and cute and the size I’m looking for they’re 79.99 a piece and it would be nice to skip 50-60$ shipping but I’ve seen horror stories about buying these like this so any advice is helpful idk what to do 😮💨🥺
It is an AZ blonde most likely female due to coloring. There is some movement in the legs so I am hopeful. Any advice would be appreciated. I have zero experience but willing to learn.
Gave her the tiniest little nudge with a fine paint brush and she dragged her fangs across the glass. Needless to say she got a nice fat roach to quell that hunger
This is my female(suspected) Pamphobeteus antinous! Some recent research made me decide she needed a new home, she was getting big anyways, but her glass enclosure didn’t have any cross ventilation and was drying up way too fast! She was a little bit grumpy but we got it done! What do yall think
I bought a curly hair tarantula from FB marketplace and it came in a 2.5 gallon acrylic container. She has a pink fleshy bald spot on her butt indicating premolt so I won't move her until she's done with that. So that means I have time to fix this new enclosure before she goes in. Please be honest with me (not rude honest) do I need anything else?? Is my DIY enclosure have enough ventilation holes?should I take out the half log (she's bigger than the opening) I'll attach pictures of her currant set up. I'd have to say she's about 4-5 inches long rn
Bought from petco they only had it listed as basic tarantula
I saw my cerotogytus laying, i figure its a good time to capture this rare moment, usualy they do it inside they're burrow, 30 minutes of recording and alot of patience, my storage dont have a single space left. Worth it
Hi everyone, I got a baby Brazilian black tarantula around 2 months back and it recently had its first molt. This might seem like a silly question since it’s so young but is it possible to tell the gender so soon?
My caribena versicolor sling seems to be stuck in Molt and has now reached the 10 hour mark. It looks like the carapace has popped off and the abdomen and started to split but nothing is actually out of the old Molt yet but I can’t see too much as it’s in its web tube trying to do it. Please can anyone give me some advise how to help the poor thing.
My dad wants to add a stream (my guess is one that’s 3 inches deep?) and maybe a waterfall into the edge of our enclosure. His argument is that tarantulas live near water all the time and it should be fine. He says he’ll keep make sure it doesn’t get too humid and that it will be good for a water source. We’re getting a Chaco golden knee.
Is this a good idea?
what type of curly haired tarantula is she?? i jus wanna make sure so she has the proper enclosure. she also sometimes walks on the glass (from what ive read this isn’t too good) but its only really ever after i open the top of her enclosure pls lmk if im doing anything wrong:(. also im aware her enclose is a bit small her new one is otw!
I recently had to move office and in my new office it's not as dry. The water dish doesn't dry out as quickly, and there is condensation on the sides of the enclosure, and now I saw some spore-like growth (see photo). Any advice? It's under the T's hide, so I'm slightly reluctant to move it, I'm wondering if I should just wait for it (the mold) to die
T is a Chaco Golden Knees if that's relevant.
A shame the lower part was too wrinkly to save (I tried moisturizing it... Couldn't flatten it at all, so I still can't tell if my T is a male or a female). I just wanted to share this milestone as a first time keeper
Chaco Golden Knee
This is my baby Count/Countess Chacola - it’s my 2nd T so I’m still pretty new in the world of keeping…
They haven’t eaten in over 2 months and the abdomen has been getting progressively smaller..
I provide a water dish always and I’ve tried water on a cotton swab with no luck. I’ve been trying to feed them once a week and they haven’t zero interest… what can I do to help my baby? 😭
Hey guys!
So yesterday morning one of my T. Seladonia slings (she's about an inch leg widespan, so she's more of a juvenile) got on her back with her legs nicely "opened up" and had a piece of tree moss over her. It's very light stuff so I didn't worry, especially since T. Seladonia's usually do this under their flap I imagine. It didn't touch her enclosure or nothing and left her alone. But this morning she's starting to have her legs come closer, like it's looking midway in between being on her back for moulting and a death curl. My other juvenile molted the day before. Turned over in the sometime in the evening and when I woke up in the morning, it was done. She's the same age as this one. They're still young and usually manage in a few hours. So I'm getting a little worried as it's been a little over 24h now. And like I said, my main worry is her legs coming closer to her body, starting to look like a death curl. I'm thinking : should I remove that piece of tree mold over her? So far they've always molted with nothing on their body and none of my bigger juvenile's have made trapdoors so they just always molt in the open. And as i've said, it's pretty light stuff but it is covering most of her body. I'm especially worried because I have to leave today for the weekend so I won't be able to monitor her progress. Any suggestions?
