Thank you.. Just panicked a bit, but she’s out now and stretching! Thanks!!

She just turned on her side, so all looks well now

hi guys.. my tarantula is molting in upright position with no molting mat.. Is this normal or is there something I should do??

Hi, The enclosure looks really awesome.. Just noticing the wire mesh for ventilation. I’ve heard that T’s can actually bite through them. Just thought I might mention it :) I don’t know how often it does happen or if it happens..

Thank you :)

They are very shy! Can't wait for her to be a bit bigger so I can see her more! I hear they get less shy when they are a bit bigger.. Mine is also a good eater luckily! I get so stressed when they don't eat! Thank you :)

Thank you!! :) I'll wait until she's a bit bigger.. Difficult to take a picture of such a small area.

My small B. Albopilosum just molted any idea what the sex might be based on the pic? Looks like a male to me..

Thank you for all the help and tips! I managed to find a coco peat block and it seems to be good quality. I checked through it to make sure there’s no sharp pieces in there. Just letting it dry out a bit and then I’ll add it to the small T’s enclosure. Luckily the substrate is fine in the...

That’s very interesting, thanks for sharing the info!

Thanks.. Apparently I’ve seen one in premolt, just didn’t know it. Woke up to my T lying on its back and I nearly got a heart attack!

Thanks, that’s good news.. I don’t want it to be unhappy or something I do that causes her to do that, but if it’s normal it makes it better!

Thank you.. Must have been very unhappy at some stage to be flicking that much hair

Latest edition to my T family.. Can someone please explain the bald patch on the abdomen? I have a lot to still learn apparently :)

Very addictive hobby! I’ve been wanting a tarantula for years and finally did it! I’m attaching a photo of my B. Vagans, but she looks weird here. She’s webbing like crazy, that’s why she’s standing weird.. I’ll upload a pic of my G. pulchripes as soon as it arrives. Thank you for everyone’s...
