Hello, I have a tliltocatl albopilosum male that from time to time would climb to the top of his kritter keeper and gnaw at the top for some time. I never saw it as an issue until a little bit ago I attempted to feed it, and the feeding response was great but I noticed the T seemed to be...

Hello everyone!
I want to begin with arboreal tarantulas and rn i can buy either an Avicularia aurantiaca or Heteroscodra maculata slings. I've found some info and videos about de H maculata but i have no idea about that Avicularia.
I'm a beginner so i'm not sure about gettin an OW but that...
My beautiful Grammostola Pulchripes is trembling and shaky for the last few month. She refuses to eat for quite a while now and feels like she's getting weaker, so I'm getting worried. I kept her in the "ICU" containter with high humidity for a few days now cause I was hoping she might just be...
Hello,
I have a mature male Salmon Pink, he’s been with me for a while now and he’s my first T.
He had his ultimate molt a little while ago now, I would say 3 months, maybe. And I’ve noticed he barely eats, which is normal as I understand male T’s stop or slow down eating after maturity...

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...
