    Hello I am new to the hobby and am I need of you opinion

    Pinchers and pokies is who I've ordered from. That and arachnoiden. I like the latter for sexed juveniles. I'm still new to the hobby though.

    Unfortunately both she and my A. Avic have passed away :(

    Sick GBB

    She's not taken food since early last month before the symptoms started. If she's drinking it's from whatever she gets when I place her face over the dish every few days. The wicking I think was a mistake. She twitches a bit from stimuli and may have knocked a bit into the dish. I replaced the...

    Sick GBB

    Will do! In the meantime, I'm going to replace all the soil and rinse the plants in her enclosure. Perhaps there was some residual pesticides on her plants. This isn't the one she's currently in BTW, I have her in a much smaller sling box so she can reach water and not injure herself on decore.

    Sick GBB

    I agree, only had to take her out as she had pushed her moss into the water dish and soaked the entire enclosure. I don't want her sitting on soaking wet substrate either.

    Sick GBB

    Well, she's still alive. Still seems stuck with legs fully spread. I took a picture of her belly, what do you guys make of the swollen look?

    Sick GBB

    She's only a few years old. She was still juvenile when I got her a year ago. And yes, that's who I read the info from. It's possible she was exposed to flea treatment but, I've noticed similar symptoms in my pink toe and one sling but they were never near the cats. I've since moved all of the...

    Sick GBB

    My mature female GBB began displaying DKS like symptoms late last month shortly after her molt. I began heat treatment when they became more pronounced. Last night she was in a death curl. I didn't dispose of her, I placed her over her water dish and left her. This afternoon she's perked up a...

    My gbb won't come out of its burrow.

    Not sure if she's come out yet but, I'm laughing cuz I had the exact same situation going on. My female hid in her skull for 4 months and wouldn't eat XD. She was fasting and just taking her time to molt. She'll come out eventually and be stunning for sure ^.^

    What kind of T is the best for DISPLAY?

    My GBB was my first tarantula and I love her. Always out and about or visible, beautifully colored. Feeding her is great too, her takedowns are amazing! This is her chilling in broad day light.

    I did a thing.

    I got one of those kits they sell with a screen lid. It's taller than wide. It's what I have so far but, I'm not happy with it. Seems cramped :(. I may get a 10 gallon and convert it. What do y'all think?

    I did a thing.

    So, I was at Petco with my sister to get some cat litter and what not. I figured I'd look in their critter section out of curiosity but, I didn't expect much since they usually only have some beardies, hermits and maybe a ball python. Well, surprise! They had 3 tarantulas, Avicularia avicularia...

    Sexing Chromatopelma Cyanopubsescens

    Well, she molted again after a 3 month hunger strike. What do y'all think? Last molt was iffy due to being younger.
