More Tarantulas that I purchased died like yours than survived. You did nothing wrong.

South American species, A. geniculata, L.parahybana, nhandu tripepii, pamphobeteus.

I bought an Acanthoscurria geniculata female from Spidersworld.eu before they stopped shipping here for $25 the size you are looking for. She is around six inches "DLS" now. What's that go for here now, $400? I don't buy spiders anymore. The prices are completely ridiculous.

They used to ship to the USA. The US Postal Service made the final delivery. It stopped about two years back. I asked why and they would not say.

Buy whatever species interests you the most. I advise you to buy a well started tarantula, not a sling. Jamie's sells these. She has a bunch of well started males right now which are not expensive. The Grammostola iheringi will likely live for several years and will eat well ($75). That would...

Just gave my largest A. geniculata a thawed fuzzy two weeks ago. I've had her for 6 1/2 years and she's been eating thawed pinks and fuzzies consistently throughout most of those 6 1/2 years.;

You bought a sling. Buy a sexed subadult female next time.

I bought ten B. Auratum slings for like $180 shipped and everyone of them was dead within a week and the seller basically said to me "sucks to be you." About two years ago I bought a sexed pair of sub adult B. Auratums from a guy in the Pacific Northwest for $300 and both are doing well and...

If Pokies are your favorite than that should have been your first spider. Pokies are no more difficult to keep than an LP. I've been keeping both along with the supposedly fierce Haitian Brown, OBT and haplopelmas for the past five plus years.

Are these prices your opening ask? My offer would be half of what you're asking for any of those females.

Whatever species you like best and buy a confirmed female that is at least two thirds grown. No tiny house spider size T's.

Five dollars.

Moving furniture? You'll kill your spider that way. Just wait. You'll see the spider on a wall. Have your catch cup ready.

You can handle an OBT. It will just run all over you. I've never been bitten by a tarantula in over six years and I've kept everything.

I've heard that too but I've never seen any evidence from anywhere to support it. It's just YouTubers spreading B.S.
