Do tarantulas poop?

[Jennifer Duncan]

Is this poop, I'm assuming the white on the side is, but I have no clue about what's hanging down from the web near it.

Oh yes, they do!
My Rosea and my Genic are very tidy and have a certain (or more) corner they go in - easy for maintenance. I actually watched my Rosea walk over to one corner lower her bottom and squeeze one out. The others seem to just poop wherever.
My Avic had a poop against the glass of her vivarium on a side where he/she normally doesn't go. I wonder whether it did one of the famous Avic poop flick...

If you're talking about the dark coloured piece, it may be a bit of substrate that your T has carried up. Many of them coat their webs with sub to camouflage it.

Hello
The whitish coloured stuff,that is faecal matter the other part next to it is undigested food from what I can see on the photo. Usually you will find this mixed in between terrestrial T's substrate,I have found this with all my specimens.

The thread that brought me here. My lad has a Gecko which I know drops one usually in one corner of his set up, so when I now see similar in the corner of my Ts home I now realised they actually go number two. Somehow I always overlooked that and assumed they just used up whatever they ate and had no waste. It's not as bad as the lizards though. His used to sometimes contain what looked like dried up crickets still in one peice. Nasty.

My Avicularia slings are abit smaller but my versicolors have the amazing trait of always hitting the door so it runs down. What a talent
