    G. Pulchra Pre-molt or just living her best life?

    Hello all, relatively new to the hobby, got my first T about 18 months ago, but first time sling owner. I've got an adult striped-knee, and previously had a pink-toe who, unfortunately was lost to a molting accident, so I tend to get nervous around molts, especially any of my babies first one...

    Help feeding first tarantula. Am i in trouble here?

    So I tried to feed my Brachypelma albopilosum (Curly hair tarantula) today for the first time. This is my first spider, and the gal at the pet store said he will eat twice a week, mealworms. I dropped one in and all that is happening is my spider is basically trying to escape the mealworm (which...

    sling feeding

    How often should or can I feed my sling? Its a p.cambridgei and has eaten every 2 days since I got it. Super quick to come and snatch a cricket everytime. Lord knows I wouldn't want to over feed or cause any issues or molding in the enclosure due to uneaten crickets.

    Thin Tarantula Feeding

    A handful of months ago I found a very beautiful Avic. metallica in a pet store, who's enclosure was set up for a terrestrial T. Not only that, but the enclosure was bone dry, and the poor met's butt was very much on the thin side. Thankfully my dad let me get the poor thing, and she's molted...

    A Simple Feeder Set Up

    In my experience this is a simple set up that works for breeding mealworms and roaches, and for keeping and growing crickets. If you have other methods or tweeks on this method please add them to the thread. Obtain a Critter Keeper or similar, or a tub with a lot of ventilation. Pour in a...

    *Stupid questions from a newbie*

    Soooo I've had my T for three days now... Yes, I know, that's too little time to start worrying like this. But still. Better soon than later :D Today I tried to give it a mealworm and it rejected it. I've seen that people say you should feed them when their abodmens look small, and honestly I...
