I'm hoping to get an ID on this red-knee. It was sold to me as a smithi. I was adamant that I wanted a smithi and not a hamorii. The breeder assured me that it was a smithi.
When I got it back in February 2020, it was like a 3/4 inch sling. Now I think it's about 1 3/4 inches to 2 inches. I'm...
Was told by the breeder that this is what they keep their two-inch versicolors in with no issues.
Not looking to rehouse, looking for ideas for this enclosure, please.
Saturday, at a local reptile show, I picked up a larger versicolor! I'm gonna say she (probable female according to the vendor) is about two inches or so. She also came with a nano-tall enclosure that I need to populate with "clutter" type things. There is already a small cork round glued to the...
I have two tarantulas already, a b. smithi and t. albo and while I have tried my luck with c. versicolor, I have lost two slings. So, I am taking a break from them, for now. My girlfriend greenlit me for another tarantula purchase, so I decided on an a. genic sling. I figured I am doing well...
I am not good at judging size, but when it was shipped to me it was 1/2 an inch. It molted, so a little larger than that?

There are 360 holes spread across the two sides and back, plus two rows of 14 holes on the top.
I will add a better picture of the sling here in a moment.
What would cause a versicolor sling not to use its web after molting?
I have had it for going on three weeks and it molted last Monday. Since the night after it molted it has been out of its web and just on the side of the enclosure underneath the ledge that has its water dish. I put a small...
Thank you! Its enclosure sits on my computer desk which the area is pretty dark and the only movement is when I am on my computer like now. I "check" on it once a day where I really look at it.
So, I fed my new Versicolor sling yesterday for the first time and twenty-four hours later and it has ignored the segment of mealworm that I offered it. The segment is in the same spot, but the sling has moved around some. Still in its web, which is where the segment is but doesn't seem...
