Hi all not been on here for a while but was wondering how long should it take for a tarantula to molt as my t stirmi has been on her back now for almost 12 hours with no signs of movement and getting slightly worried if she has passed or not
Hi can't really tell by that picture but usually a death curl happens on the ground. It looks to me that it's on the side of its enclosure. Have you tried touching it with a brush or a straw to see if it's still alive
I agree with @octanejunkie about the wood chips just coco fibre is fine or try mixing it with top soil or spiderlife . Also you might want to de clutter the enclosure a bit there's a bit too much going on in there
If you are going to use a heat mat it needs to be on one side of your enclosure so your t can choose whether it wants a warm spot or cool spot . Never place a heat mat underneath your spider as if it gets too hot it has nowhere to go to cool down. All mine have been kept at room temperature...
Hi I honestly believe heat mats are a no no for tarantulas. All tarantulas will be fine at normal room temperature if you are comfortable they will be. I have about 10 brachys and all are fine at room temperature. As for it not eating don't worry I had one go over a year without eating. As long...
