Two pictures of my new B. albo, Sophie:

Thank you!

If they aren't eaten, how long should you leave them in before removing them? Thanks!

Yeah, I love it when they're flat too. I'm glad she's happy, good job on rescuing her. :)

Love the name.

I definitely love her. She's always been really sweet, and hasn't bitten me once in eight years. I think she flicked hairs once during this time, and that was at the very beginning. (I was only 12) Since Rosies aren't the most exciting tarantulas, it's their special quirks that make them so...

Yeah, her abdomen isn't shriveled at all; it's a good size. The water dish is very large, so it holds a lot of water. I remember when I needed to clean the water dish because it was grimy, and I would remove it with Yoshi nearby, she'd stick out a leg and try to protect it. She would do that...

My G. rosea, Yoshi, who I've had for nearly eight years, has always been near her water dish. When I first got her she started burrowing under her water dish. I had to make supports for her water dish, otherwise it would have collapsed on her because it was so heavy. She's normally been in her...

I believe my dad is over-feeding his G. rosea. I can't get any pictures now, but she's a bit bigger than 4" and her abdomen is almost as big as the gravid B. albo pictured on the front page. I talked to him about it, because it seems to me it's dangerous to let them get that big, but it doesn't...

Beautiful!

The log was at an angle because she removed some of the dirt under the back portion of it. Because of this, she was able to stick her head under the log. I could see a couple legs on one side of the cage, and I could see more of her by looking in the log on the other side. Today she came out of...

Oh...I was afraid she wouldn't be able to breathe...sorry if I messed up, my G. rosea never burrowed so I wasn't prepared for that. Is it okay that she's on the glass now?

My first T was a G. rosea, so I'm not used to this...just got a 2" or so female B. albo, and put a log in her enclosure, with one side covered with cardboard and against the wall so it'd be nice and dark for her. She went in it right away, but dug out a ton of dirt, twice. I had to move dirt...

My G. rosea used to enjoy climbing on the top, and on the mesh lid. There were some scary situations. So what I did was get a long piece of cardboard, cut a large rectangle in the middle, and put it underneath the lid. This leaves them room to breathe in the middle, while making it a lot more...

Thank you! The log was too big for her so I decided to fill up the bottom with the substrate so it wouldn't seem too big for her. I woke up to her having tunneled out a bunch of dirt from inside the log. The problem was that all the dirt she tunneled out was completely blocking the entrance to...
