Hey guys my G. quirogai molted a few days ago and I need someone more competent than me to confirm what I think I'm seeing. I think I'm seeing a female but am still quite new to this! Apologies for image quality but my cat loves to eat molts so I had to be careful.
So far she is doing well! My vet said to keep an eye on her and she's just being a normal cat so far. She drank more than usual earlier but I think that's normal considering her snack. Everyone on the staff there loves my cat so we had a whole parade of people coming in just to say hi which was...
My cat has eaten a small Aphonopelma molt that has very little urticating hairs. I'm extremely worried about her and what could happen! She's acting normally but did drink a lot of water a few minutes ago. Anyone have any experience with this? I'm taking her to the vet and need to know what to...
I finally got my dream tarantula, the Aphonopelma mooreae, for Halloween and I'm absolutely thrilled! I've dubbed her (she's a lady until confirmed otherwise) Thing and she's adorable! She's shy and a burrower like your typical Aphonopelma sling but I did manage to get one picture before she...
She ate 2 superworms on the Wednesday after I wrote this initially so hunger strike over for now. Her abdomen is still a bit smaller than I like but it's definitely healthier. She is still hanging out in her hide mostly during the day and at night she'll come out sometimes. I guess I just don't...
I'm still newer to keeping tarantulas and my A. Chalcodes's behavior has been a bit odd. She has been consistently out since I got her in May and the past couple of weeks we had the temperatures dip into the lower 70s. This week, despite being back to the regular temperatures this time of year...
I am on the east coast and am looking for an Aphonopelma Mooreae. This is my dream spider! Obviously I would prefer a female just like everyone else, but I'll also take a chance on a sling that's at least 1" DLS Or something big enough that I can find it when needed. Shipping is preferred but I...
I'm an equine behavior specialist who is in the hobby of keeping tarantulas. This is brand new as my biological mum was absolutely horrified of them! It wasn't until a chance encounter at a reptile expo that I was able to hold a Curly Hair for the first time. She was so calm and her paws were so...
