Hi guys. I was wondering about the molt process how I know when each individual tarantula is about to molt or has molted with both species. The phlogius SP is about 3 years old and the selentypus is about 6 years I think. I've attached a photo of the selentypus cheers!
Hi guys, I've just purchased an adult champagne robustus. Just wondering what is the best way to keep this little unit happy? Temperature of enclosure.. Feeding etc? I've attached a photo of my enclosure and her.. Any advice would be appreciated thanks!
Thank you for your welcome! She has dug a small burrow inside the skull right in the centre of the substrate it's not heaps deep but it's a start. I dropped a cricket in their last night with her and she annihilated it instantly.
Hey guys,
I've had my spider for about 2 weeks now, I've been keeping the tank on around 25degrees.. The spider has found its skull finally and has buried a small hole inside the skulls substrate where it generally hangs out... was just wondering when do you think she will start webbing? Is...
That was a really interesting video thank you! I think I'll still fill heaps more substrate and make a start of a burrow next to the side of the tank :)
Awesome I'll check it out.. I just spoke to the person I bought the spider from apparently it's not a phlogius they sold me a Selenotholus??? I'm so confused now what kind is that? Lol
She's only small at the moment so I'm really interested in seeing what she will grow into :). I'm just going to use a smaller container ventilated to try to slowly push her into that for around 20 minutes or so before I set up the enclosure.. I'm not too sure what to do with the skull either if...
Ah I see what you mean. I'll do that then. This morning I've looked at her and she has moved under the skull but is just sitting there no signs of burrowing or anything I'm going to move her out today and re build her enclosure hopefully so she is happy!
Thank you so much for all your information guys. I'm pretty annoyed that this shop gave me all the wrong information! I'm going today to get a lot more substrate. Just another quick question do you think it's wise for me to put a glass empty jar not too big in size In the middle of the substrate...
Is this 100% correct that I need to put 6/7 cm of substrate? The spider store said that all I need for this species was 3/4cm and that would be perfectly fine? I'm a bit confused now as to how to look after her properly...
