When I first got this B albiceps sling, it had this dark spot on its carapace. I assumed it was just a speck of dirt, so I didn't think much of it. A month and a half later, it is still there, and upon inspecting it more closely it does not look like dirt. Anybody know what this is or what could...

I got a 1/2 inch B albiceps sling roughly three weeks ago. I keep it in a top ventilated 50 dram vial filled halfway with sub. It has a hide, moss, and a water dish. Half the sub is kept lightly moist. I see it moving around sometimes, just yesterday I caught it grooming near the water dish...

Hi everyone. I picked up my second tarantula today (B albiceps) and realized that it was a lot smaller than I was expecting. When I got my first T, it was advertised as being 1/2". So I went for that size again, expecting it to be roughly the same. This sling is tiny. I think it's probably...

It’s the small container covered in foil that boxed pills come in, I’m sure there’s a name for it but I don’t know what it is. Rest assured it won’t melt, it’s plastic

I recently made my 1cm sling a water dish by cutting out a pill container from a package of Benadryl (rinsed out well of course). Does this look like a suitable water dish for a sling that size? The bottle cap was taking up far too much floor space

Why separate post into two pieces of text when one piece of text do trick? Lol

I would love to see some of your before and after photos if y'all have any :) I don't have any, as my single sling has not yet molted in my care! :( But I will add my own to this thread when she finally does.

I hope so. It also doesn't help that she likes to pile substrate in the corners and block the few that already exist; I have to clear them out somewhat periodically. She seems to be fine for the moment, but I will burn those holes as soon as possible. The t is pretty small (roughly 1 cm) would...

It was the enclosure I was sent by fear not tarantulas, but I agree I was a bit surprised by the lack of ventilation holes. The lid has none at all. I will probably have my father help me with burning some more as soon as I can

Ah, thank you. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that grooming didn’t even cross my mind, but that makes sense. I appreciate your help, I feel a lot better now haha

Sorry! This is what the enclosure looks like. Way too wet, I know, but I haven’t noticed mold or anything like that yet. The tarantula itself is just sitting there, fortunately her leg is not curled under her body anymore. It’s a little hard to see the webbing without a flash but it’s all along...

A few weeks ago I was a total dolt and sloshed water into my B hamorii sling's enclosure, rendering the substrate way too wet. I thought it would dry on its own since I keep the sling very warm, but this has not been the case. However, the sling seemed unbothered by the wet substrate so I...

I’m aware, but it happens to be perfect for my situation. I live in a college dorm with limited space, so a tiny tarantula is perfect for me for the time being :]

I just realized my typo. *B hamorii, have mercy please
