You should definitely Google how to sex your tarantulas through a molt. I have noticed in recent past that many people are asking about the sex of tarantulas, when you learn how to do it on your own, which does take a lot of research and practice, in my opinion, it makes people feel way more...

I just recently got a 14 gallon tank myself, it's a cube tank without a frame. Which means it's all glass no plastic. Very nice to have a larger tank to work with, just in my opinion. Good luck!

That's really sad when that happens, you really should try to feed it something, I would anyway, it will calm down once it's settled in. Try to leave it alone as much as you can and give it time. When you're new and close your arrives, set it up in accordance with what this species needs to be...

That's crazy, I've never heard of that before, thanx for the HEADS UP!!

That was VERY COOL of the postal delivery person to do that, I'm impressed!!

Naming Tarantulas is part of the fun, I have a Female King Baboon Tarantula named Fluffy, I have 2 GBB 's named Lady Blue legs and Lady Green Body.. I have an adult female Pumpkin patch named Styx..... The names in my opinion are part of the excitement of keeping them.

Very good information, I'm sure it will be helpful....

EXACTLY what I would have said..

Yep , shouldn't be a problem at all. Mine likes it on the dry side anyway, that's just something I do to raise humidity when needed.

I literally just bought 2 of the same exact enclosures yesterday. Perfect for my 1 1/2 inch GBB slings. I have 2 little GBB 's. These should be good for most of their lives, but time will tell. Good luck with your Tarantula.

Looks good, and dry is better when it comes to GBB 's, I've got 2 little ones and they both prefer the dryer side of the enclosure.

I couldn't agree with you more, it's a good feeling to know someone else thinks this theory is valid. Thanks. I'm definitely in agreement about them branching off in wet and dry directions, makes total sense..

How old does an adult female have to be in order to be paired? I have an adult Male and Female, she's 6yrs old now, is that old enough to mate? Are there any signs to look for to tell if she is?

The H. gigas is from Africa as well as others of the same species, I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that this particular tarantula has noticeably larger back legs and in elongated abdomen, the other tarantulas in this species mostly have a rounded abdomen and all legs are the same...

Feeling great
