I live in Tucson, Arizona and I have an Aphonopelma Chalcodes and I've had her for about 6 months. The first 3 or 4 months her appetite was very strong and she was very active and would devour anything that gets in her pin. For the past 2 or 3 months, she hasn't eaten anything I feed her. I...

Hi everyone. I picked up my second tarantula today (B albiceps) and realized that it was a lot smaller than I was expecting. When I got my first T, it was advertised as being 1/2". So I went for that size again, expecting it to be roughly the same. This sling is tiny. I think it's probably...

I had my tarantula for 9 years and on Wednesday I’ve noticed unusual behavior I’ve never noticed before. She was pacing and walking around disoriented and then on Thursday I found her on her back. I’m thinking she’s getting ready to molt but she’s twitching a lot. I have never noticed that...

Hi guys, so this is a weird one for me. I ordered tarantulas from the spidershop.pl I am in Ireland and there should have been no problems having them sent between these EU countries. Well my delivery was late so I contacted FedEx. They told me that the sender said the package was just plastic...

Hi guys! Right I have my new Tarantula, I'm very nervous with them as I've never been one for spiders but I'm determined to change that. I have them in small stackable tubs (ones they came with) but I want to get them nicer enclosures. I've never been one for keeping animals in tubs as I...

Hi everyone! Today I was checking on my tarantulas and I noticed my T. vagans kinda curled up. I immediately tried to move it and fall but after that it started moving. Make it walk towards its water bowl and noticed it dragged some of its legs. I grabbed it to check if it would climb and...

Hello! I first want to preface this that this is my first tarantula after many years of wanting one. I did some research and found that one of the better beginner tarantulas were the Pumpkin Patch Tarantula. There was a sling available and I was able to purchase one. He/she is about 3/4" in...

Hello everyone, I have a question and I hope that you can help me. So I brought a chromatopelma cyaneopubescens 6 months ago. She refused food for the whole 6 months, often looks like she wants to eat the roach, like approaching, putting her legs on it and hovering over it, but then she pulls...

Hello all! I’m new to this site, I’ve been on Arachnoboards for a while but wanted to try this out. This is not my own T but someone I know owns it but has no idea what it is. (Being new to the tarantula hobby I also have no idea lol) My immediate reaction would be G. pulchra but that seems to...

I’m sorry if this post sounds confusing. I’m very worried. A few days ago, I found my tarantula standing on her tip toes- this was a whole day after her second feeding. (she had a small mealworm and a larger dubia roach. Her abdomen got very very skinny after molt and I was worried) Her...
