GBB silking around with a snack in its mouth. Guess it liked the wax worm moth as well. So cool I didn’t even put it in front of em, it just got hunted down..

I’m looking to sell my tarantula but I can’t find any groups or sites to sell him on. How can I go about selling my T?

I’m based in the UK :)

I got my burgundy Goliath birdeater roughly a week ago, and she’s still pretty young. For now, I’m keeping her in an Exo Terra terrarium measuring 30 × 30 × 30 cm.

How long should I expect to wait before her first molt?

For context, I’ve also had my female pink foot Goliath birdeater for a few months, and she hasn’t molted once since I got her either.

I’d love to hear about your experiences with these species!😄

Hello everyone i just recently purchased my curly hair tarantula and just wanting to make sure I get every useful tip! This is my first tarantula i have him in a (15.74•9.84•7.87) inch tank with a magnetic top he has 6inches of reptisoil and a mixture of pure coco fiber. He is not very big I got him from a pet store (not a massive chain store) but they said he/she hasn’t molted yet, I tried to feed him superworm but he didnt seem super interested in it. He also has not been in the little hide i have dug out yet he just prefers to stay ontop of it mostly and chill. Any tips or criticisms helps thank you all!

4 total: curly hair, pink toe, chaco gold knee, red island bird eater. I was given the curly hair and told it’s a 2 year old female - I have not confirmed this but it’s a very pretty baby. Pink toe- no molt, gender not confirmed. Slings- I just got them a week ago and they seem to be doing alright they do have tiny hides I took them out for the photo.

I have been desperately searching for a male brachypelma hamorii (mexican red knee). Does anyone have one they would be willing to loan? Happy to do 50/50 split and pay for shipping.

Thank you in advance! Pic of my mature female for attention 🧡✨️

Im a new tarantula parent and I have Dubai roaches and crickets at the moment to feed my tarantula.

It has been over a two weeks in a half since my Curly hair Tarantula has been in my care and I want to make sure its feeding correctly

I dropped a cricket in today and tried to feed it a Dubai roach with tongs.

The cricket is hiding atm and im scared its not going to eat any advice on feeding?

From finding a single jumping spider outside while cleaning up a broken glass table, to owning over half a dozen spiders in under 6 months haha. This Mother's day my grandmother threw a rock in the general direction of our rowdy great Pyrenees while she was barking up a storm, to get her attention. she got up from her seat to avoid hitting her various hanging witch orb decorations and ends up nailing one dead on, it bounced off and completely shattered a large patio table. The look on her face was priceless! 😂 Anyhow I went out and began sorting the glass from the rocks and stumbled on Fiona, a female redback jumping spider. Within 3-4 weeks of having her I had order all kinds of acrylic enclosures and decor, and kept her well fed with crickets. Turns out she was gravid and had an egg clutch, I still have 7 of her spiderlings today. In the last 1-2 months I not only bought my first regal jumper I also took the leap into tarantulas upto 4 now and I know #5 wont be too far behind i'm sure.
Im curious if anyone else has any very random stories of how they ended up in the hobby? how long does anyone stay with just 1 or 2? other than a kid without the means to buy more ofc.
