Hi all, been a long time since I posted a question. This situation bothers me a little. My curly hair,Penelope, molted annually about the same time of year, the first two years I had her. This year shes gone about 5 months overdue from the annual date last year and still no molt. As adults, dont...

The hollowed out log is from zoomed. I got it from the reptile section of a large pet store. It seemed like a good choice for a house. I dont know what zoomed uses for those reptile houses.

Yes, the mat was under half of the tank. Thinking they came from warmer climates, the chilly room in winter may be uncomfortable for her. Its unplugged now. Your T's behavior is EXACTLY what mine did. I have a hollowed out half log turned over. ( like an airplane hangar). I had to change the...

I recently asked if curly haireds hibernate. She webbed herself in to her home and didnt feed or come out for almost 1 and a half months. She recently came out and dug a pit and webbed it up. Its on the half of the tank where I have heat mat. It gets chilly in my room in the winter so I turned...

Hey everyone, I have a curly haired tarantula I recently posted about. She’s still in her hides hole house. I brushed aside the web walls she made after she was walled up for 3 weeks to look inside and try to see how she’s doing. After a day or so she came out, hung out by the water...

Hey everyone, It’s been a long time since I last posted (July 20). my curly haired is just fine since but now some puzzling behavior has set in. She hasn’t molted since last July, so I’m guessing She’s leaning more toward adult then juvenile. I actually don’t know the gender but I’m...

Everyone , When my curly hair molted, her shed carapace was shoved into the corner right in fron of her mat and she stayed right by it so I didnt try to retrieve it because I didnt want to stress out or otherwise disturb her fresh from the molt. She has now dragged the discarded skin to...

I got my curly haired T as a birthday present from my arachnophobe daughter ( big surprise there)in late May. It is now July 16th and my little 8 legged bundle had her first molt ( with me anyway ) Shes a healthy little girl(?). I feel a bit vindicated since the Rose hair I had before wouldn’t...

Thanks for the info. Shes in a 5 gal. tank with Zoomed forest floor substrate. A water dish in the corner. No heating or lighting. The only humidity is just whats in the air naturally or what the water dish provides. I put in a little reptile log "house" in there(looks like an upside down "U")...

Penelope, my brachypelma albopolisum, I’ve had for two weeks now. She has a good appetite and so far I’ve been keeping to a 2 or 3 cricket feeding twice last week. I got her(?) from a live specimen supply company. I didn’t feed her the first week I had her as I wanted her to settle in to a new...

It’s a Brachypelma Albopolisum (Honduran Curly Hair). She has a healthy appetite though. I got to see her ambush pounce a cricket. Totally cool but I think I’m using the wrong substrate.

Hello all, I posted earlier an introduction and a request for advice and got some very helpful answers that made a lot of sense, when I think back to my rose hair. But I have a new question. I’m using Zoomed forest floor bedding but it seems a bit “Barky” will she ( I hope it’s a she...

Hello all, I am new to this forum and have a few questions. I just got a curly hair tarantula for my birthday from my daughter. She ordered a Rose Hair but the specimen supply company sent a curly hair. I know they are both very similar in temperament, hardiness, and docility. My rose...
