r/tarantulas

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!

Don’t wanna stress her or me out, it’s as simple as that.

food induced tumble

Bad molt from 2-3 weeks ago. Normally wouldnt handle but it's the only way I was able to get a good look at my T. Is this T doomed? Ive never seen so many deformed limbs from 1 molt

The first one is a Grammastola pulchripes, like the label says! This little cutie really didn’t want to go I her new enclosure and went on a bit of a walk about. Thankfully I finally got her in there eventually. The second is a Homoeomma chilense my 3 year old named Chili. Like the mom from Bluey. She was a very cooperative little one. The last one is a Hapalopus guerreroi my kiddo names Punky. I wasn’t prepared for how small she is! I think I made her a nice home in the dram bottle. I tried to make a bit of a starter burrow and added some moss for moisture (not just the sphagnum moss in the picture). Should I feed this little one flightless fruit flies? I haven’t had a cutie this small before. Thank you!

Hoping so!! This is actually an X-ray of my spine. Found out I have spermithicae! 😮‍💨 Phew! Thought it was going to be male again. Looks like I may be an A. Avicularia. Ps. You guys are the only people that would get this joke so I most definitely had to. 🤭😂 Please forgive me. lol.

I didn't even realize he still had a molt in his tunnels so coming home to dismembered legs in the bowl scared the shit out of me at first 😅

She’s gonna pop.

I have a Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens juvenile who, ever since I moved her into this setup, has tried to web on the lid and rarely touches the ground. I feel awful having to destroy the webs whenever I go to feed her, and I want to find a way around that, if possible.

She seems like she’ll molt relatively soon, and I wanted to ask the community for some pointers with her next setup.

I’ve read that GBBs like vertical anchor points (hence the sticks), so I’m wondering if a side door in the next enclosure is the way to go?

Please tell me your thoughts!
