Well, she's mad at me. But we got it done. She tried to fling her hairs and hissed at me. But she now has a better enclosure. Still not perfect. But I need to buy some more things to do that. And being in the middle of nowhere means it takes longer. Question. Someone told me she would turn...

I do believe it is a T. Stirmi. I was reading the differences and I'm almost positive she is. I guess I should refer to her as such. ;) I didn't realize they were referred to as Burgundy bird eaters. And THANKS!

How long after molting before I can move my goliath bird eating out of her terrarium to make some repairs? I got her last minute and didn't have enough substrate. Now I'd like to add some to deepen it. But she molted shortly after I got her (last Wednesday night). I don't want to disturb her too...

I have a question. Before she molted she was Brown. Now she's black. Will she stay black? Or once hardened will she once again be Brown?

I have not sexed it yet. Honestly I can't remember how from the molt, so I need to figure it out and and try.

Molted.

Seems she was preparing to molt.

Perfect. Thanks so much! I'll make the changes when I get home and hopefully this helps. Also I'll look into a different enclosure. I wasn't expecting to get this particular spider so I wasn't quite prepared.

I should also mention that I'm refilling that water twice a day.

Hello, I had posted earlier about the new tarantula I had acquired. I've had her since Saturday. She has spent almost all of that time in her water dish. Nights she goes into her hidey hole, but ALL day she just sits in her water dish. She hasn't taken any food yet. She's not small, so I'm not...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the advice. I'm glad you warned me about misting. I don't think she has many hairs to shed or throw. She's pretty bald right now. I'm thinking it's probably from stress. This is how she has been for the last 3 hours. She's pretty docile right now. Easily...

I ended up paying $75.00. I have her (I've been calling it a her for now as there are currently no hooks) in a 10 gallon tank right now. If she needs bigger later I'll size it up. I understand they can get quite large. Feeding her other things besides crickets doesn't bother me. I'm just not...

While browsing in Petco today for dog toys I was looking at the tarantula they had there. I've seen it several times before. Usually hiding and hard to spot though. They were selling it for quite a lot. The manager saw me looking and asked me to buy it, jokingly. I said I totally would if it...

Shelby, Montana. :)

I had asked about that. Now just waiting for payday. I've got some good ideas of how to fix her set up. Thanks! But now I'm trying to decide what to put in this setup when I move her.
