I personally don't mist at all. I keep water dishes, and I have a little watering bottle like . If the spider needs more moisture I squirt this bottle down the side of the enclosure so it gets the bottom layers of substrate wet, and let the spider go to the part of the enclosure that is the...

To those interested, I added a new tool to help plan enclosures on your shelves. You enter the size of the shelves, the enclosures, and if they are stackable. It then gives you a diagram of your shelves and you can drag and drop enclosures on it. It's a great thing to consider the adult size of...

Sorry this is the most boring video in the world but I just wanted to check. I’m able to upload the video directly here using the browser on my phone, and am currently posting this from my phone.

Good choice. I recently got a G quirogai sling for $75 which I feel like was a pretty good deal for the species.

Not to be a pusher but… you can always get another one lol. There’s no rule saying you can’t have more than one of a species you like.

Welcome aboard! I'd love to hear some about what your breeding projects are and how they've been going so far.

Thanks for the pictures. I don’t see obvious hooks or gloves so I’d agree not a mature male - must always good to check to rule it out. Honestly, spider looks good. I don’t see anything that is a problem. “Pre molt” isn’t always super obvious, so I wouldn’t be shocked either way if she is...

Are you certain she is femaleyou? In any case could be normal fasting, especially at 5” that’s an adult so eating a few large meals and then not wanting anything got a long time is pretty typical. The fact you mention she explores is a little clue though. Is there any chance she is actually a...

I'm curious if you got your T eating again. Hopefully you did. If not, I think we can help a bit more if you share a few more details. Type of T Size of T Type and size of feeder When she last ate a feeder When she last molted

Thank you both, for checking it out and being accepting of what I've been working on! I see it the same way, as a win/win for the hobby.

Haha yeah I definitely wasn't trying to critique anyone. This is one where I see the value in the term, but I also see some people getting confused by the term, so I understand both the people who use it and the people who try to steer away from it. Either way, when we are somewhere like this...

Hi everyone! My name is Steve and I got my first tarantula in 2006. She was a wildcaught G rosea from the local pet store. Both I, and the hobby, have come a long way since then. I prefer the pace and style of traditional forums to more modern social media, so I'm looking forward to spending...

Glad to hear it! I give mine a bit of height as well and I agree, it works well. I definitely have the enclosure still wider than it is tall, but a bit of verticality and way more anchor points than you think you'd need goes a long way. I've heard him more recently refer to that style as...

Many reviews I've seen of backwater specifically mention drop shipping. So even if one person has a good order, you won't necessarily be getting your order from the same supplier.

I love a smooth rehouse like that. Tom Moran's videos are just full of helpful tips. Glad it went well for you, hopefully she likes the new enclosure and it'll be a cube of cotton before you know it.
