This week I cover care, husbandry, and feeding for the Brachypelma auratum (Mexican Flame Knee Tarantula). I discuss the care, husbandry, feeding, history, general info and enclosures for this species. This includes handling, temperature, humidity, set up, enclosure, substrate, lifespan, & more.

An indecisive tarantula.. He immediately rushed to the water dish just to find his dish was empty. So I refill it. But after that, he stood there quietly... Sometimes, I don't understand tarantula, like what's on his mind...

Hello guys :) long time no see... I want to ask you a question. This evening, I found a weird position of my T's legs. Four of his leg is not really curled, but only its toe bending inward. I immediately spray the ground with water. But he quickly covered his face with legs, include the legs...

Hey guys! So I'm new to the hobby and I'm super interested in the brachypelma vagans. I am currently on the search for an adult male or female (preferably female but I won't be picky). If any of you could please help me find a reliable site to purchase one or if one of you have one and would be...

Hey guys I just wanna ask you if this is a Rosea sling? I bought this one last December and the seller (which is someone I know) told me that it was a B. Albicep sling. Just today he asked how was the first tarantula I bought from him and took a picture of it to show him. After that he replied...

In my introduction post I said I was going to wait until July for an expo to get my T buuuuut there were some drinks involved and I was looking at some cool videos and pictures aaaand yeah. So I'm super excited to receive my Brachypelma albiceps (Golden Red Rump) spiderling! I got a "complete...

my brachypelma hamorri hasnt moved the whole day and looks like its not in a good condition(im not sure tho). It molted last friday and i havent given it anything to eat till now. Should i give it something to eat today( its only been 5 days). Is it fine or should i do something??

Hi again! So, many of you were introduced to Kevin, My juvy B.Hamorii. Well...I have had him since May 11th and unfortunately I had been over feeding him. I thought two small (Not pinhead, just generally small crickets) crickets a week wouldn't been too much and it turns out I was wrong LOL...

it molted yesterday and i opened up the molt and took a photo of it. Leg span is around 8cm and body length is 5cm. Is it a male of female? Please help Thanks

i just found out that my tarantula is upside down. It was fine around 3 hours ago. Leg span diagonal is around 7.5cm And body length 5cm Is it molting or has something happened The humidity inside the terranium was higher than usual (85-90%) Please let me know.

i just got this tarantula today. I dont know the age or sex of the tarantula. How do i know how old it must be and is it close to molting?. The whole day it has been in a corner where it made web structures. Thanks

Ahhhh, It feels so surreal making that title, I swear! I just thought I'd make a lil' thread like I do on my rodent forums for my new little buddy! I have been ethically researching Tarantulas since 2016 after remembering randomly one day that I used to watch "some crazy dude" named...

I figured it's worth a try! If not, I'll just wait for my little buddy to molt and see for sure!

Hi everyone, I am brand new to the T-Community but I have been researching on and off for about 5+ years, And today I was thrusted into the community and...I'm a bit frustrated and stressed by it. I am a person who spends years researching and collecting supplies for an animal before getting it...

Hello :) Before that, i already know how does the bald looks like if it caused by shedding urticating hair. But this bald seems weird. I think he's getting bald from yesterday, and today it's getting wider. I also attached photos of him. What is wrong with him? I thought it's because he...

My favorite girl freshly molted ❤

Hello :) My T has molt 1 week ago. I also see that the fang is already black. But his upper mouth is still reddish brown. I asked the seller if i should feed him or not, and he answered yes. At first, my T seems he interested to catch the crickets. He chased it. Later, the crickets fell down...
