first tarantula

Hello, my name is Sean. I have always wanted a tarantula to add to my growing collection of deeply loved critters. Currently, I have 2 bearded dragons and a dog after having to relinquish my large fish tanks to good homes when I moved. I have recently acquired a Caribena Versicolor from my local...

I started my journey falling in love with and eventually purchasing my first tarantula last March (2021) I had experience taking care of t's in the past but had never owned my own! They are called "Luci" :) I am unsure of sex as they are my first and I got them reeeeally small. They have had 5...

I'm still trying to choose my first tarantula, and I am squarely stuck between these three. I would get all three, but due to my living situation I can only have one. Which species would you recommend for a college junior living in a small dorm? I plan to start off with a sling from Fear Not Ts...

Lasiodorides polycuspulatus sling >1" no name yet. Thinking about naming him Puppy. He's been eating live crickets like a little ravenous wolf. For the next 3 days, no food.

I just made an account on this site so I apologize if this is not the correct decorum. I do not have any Ts of my own yet, but I have done a ton of research and am looking to get a G. pulchripes as my first one. I was checking out the "full package" from Fear Not Ts and I thought it looked very...

Hello! I have Arachnophobia really bad and I came into this Forum for more research. I have awesome news, I bought my first Tarantula today! It's a Brachypelma hamorii, Mexican Red Knee, and I am so excited! It is a sling, which I don't think is recommended to beginner Tarantula keepers (aka...

Hi guys, I'm kind of surprised to find myself here. *lol* I have always been terrified of spiders ever since I was a kid. A wolf spider surprised me when I opened the garbage in our garage, and I've been scared of them ever since. I was like 10 years old I think, if I remember correctly. A...

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I'm looking for some assistance in finding my first Tarantula. I would prefer to not buy from a pet store. I've done an online search and can't seem to find any breeders or any to adopt. I live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Thank you for you assistance.

Hey guys. My first post. My first Tarantula. I don't know how to sex or age my Tarantula. I imagine more photos would be required to make this determintaiton, but the spider prefers to burrow. I purchased the spider three days ago.

Ok so, I've had my pink toe just under a year, she is my first. She was 17 months when I took her home so she is just over 2 years old now and this will be her second molt since I've had her. Her fist molt was only around 2 months after I got her and it was while I was away for a couple of...

So I love all animals! Even tarantulas (to my mother disgust even tho I’m an adult, haha). I really want to get my first tarantula..... but for the life of me I can’t stop eyeing the elusive, gorgeous, cobalt blue (C. Lividum). OKAY, away from that pipe dream. I know C. Lividum aren’t...
