    Handling?

    I know the temptation, wonder, curiosity and awe of these creatures is very alluring. I may self get tempted at times to want to handle my T's, and it is absolutely your choice. But when ever I get the itch to do so, I'm also keen to understand that even when they "seem " perfectly happy to want...

    Yellow Mold worry

    Excavating Entire Enclosure

    Sometimes the T's do this. My g.polchra is always filling it's water dish, n my c.cyana's will also webb up and put dirt in the water. Since yours is under n you can see it, until it's ready to rehouse, just put a new cap in. No biggie. You can't stop Thier behaviour. They get most of their...

    Euathlus S.P Red Enclosure

    Hello, and welcome!! Nice looking T!! Your set up seems fine, and your T is making it's self right at home. I have used these enclosures, and have never had an issue with any of my T's escaping. They usually snap on and off fully fairly hard making lid a pain at times to open for cleaning...

    New to spiders, previously wasn’t a fan

    Welcome!!. The addiction is no joke lmao. I started with 2 last year ish and now I'm at 20!!. N the enclosures/rehousing is one of the best parts of the hobby imo. How close and creative we can get turning a piece of plastic/glass into a home for each individual species in our care is awesome. I...

    Are air slits in enclosure a possible hazard?

    I have a few acrilic containers that have slits instead of holes. I used them for my gbbs. They like to hang out near all the gaps n slits but they are too big so far to get out. The feeders on the other hand, prob still could get through but I usually don't have that prob with gbbs. Even if...

    The most rare species in my collection

    I really like your video. Your TS are also really nice!! Some of those species I haven't heard of, I'll have to do some research into them. I love the avic. That species is just amazing. Every time I see a video or pics of them, it makes me add them to my list!! I really want to get one. Falling...

    Ungrateful child

    OMG I totally feel you!!. I rehoused some of my T's into larger, deeper, nicer enclosures. Bought and now have to care for a colony of stinky dubias so my T's can have nutritious, crunchy, juicy meals on demand. Give them fresh clean enclosures and water with fresh crisp water every day. And...

    Molt stuck to abdomen

    Right!! I have a t.vagans that is as elusive as they come. Before I rehoused, I had a nice big peeping mom window at the base of it's enclosure so I could see that it was alive still. Now that it's bigger and in a bigger enclosure, it decided not to burrow near the side so now I can't peep on...

    Is this normal for T. Albopilosus.

    Boy isn't that the truth. Raising humans is easier then T's at times. I could drive my self nuts w if I was doing something right or wrong when I first started w sling T's. Some of them are so tiny and fragile. I recently bought a couple dwarf species. One is growing like a champ and fairly easy...
