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 ordering a 10 cm blondi for 95 quid off so many legs, I need some help with the enclosure,substrate and humidity. Could somebody please educate me on the best set up please. UK
Would be very grateful .
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...
I was just feeding my avic metallica a small roach and accidentally dropped it in her web & when I looked in I realized there was a fresh molt in there! I panicked because I know if she attempts to eat before her fangs harden, that could be potentially fatal. Her web is shaped kind of like a...
Hi everyone, my Chilean Rose Hair has recently shown signs of a death curl. This started happening about 3 days ago. I put her in ICU for those 2 days, shes not taking in water, but responds when I prod her and still climbs onto her log. She was acting fine not too long ago, and I'm not sure why...
Hey yall ! Im a new user and im thinking of buying a new tarantula ...so im thinking of a Brachypelma emilia sling and im going to put it in a small terrarium 9.1x6x6.7 (inches) 1) is that size okay ? Also I know that I have to rehome it to a larger terrarium when it becomes an adult but...
Hello! I have a Pinktoe Avic and I'm really hoping nothing's wrong with her. Shes been spending alot of time on the ground lately even though shes always on top of the enclosure. She never webs just chills on top But these last few weeks shes been on the ground not eating/barely moving. At night...
Hey everybody, I've recently acquired a giant vinegaroon and as I'm head over heels for her, I want to ensure the highest quality of care for my new friend. I've received conflicting information about the enclosure temperature I should be aiming to maintain. Some sources say to keep it heated to...
Hi all,
I got a bit concerned when my G. pulchra disappeared into a hiding spot shortly after being rehomed into what I’ll admit is too big of an enclosure.
However, she (unsexed but ) has recently reappeared, freshly molted and looking beautiful. She’s drinking from her new bowl and has eaten...
I recently got a chaco golden knee sling in the mail. I did a bit of research about slings here and there specifically for the Gold Knee. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for the caring of a sling. My main concern is feeding, I bought 1/4 small crickets for it I just wonder if the...
I was curios if anyone knew of a good place to obtain a Caribena versicolor, I just ordered one and unfortunately it was a DOA. I had a horrible experience with the seller and all the other places that I've looked are sold out, any help would be appreciated
Today has been the 3rd week that my T skipped feeding. She hasn't eaten anything yet and Im assuming its Pre-molt behavior. I googled How long they can last without eating and it said 3 months, So I shouldn't worry much. She did spun a bit of web but its nothing crazy she moves around here and...
Hi guys I just started tarantula keeping as a hobby a couple of weeks ago and I already have 4 Ts lol. I just saw this in my H. Pulchripes enclosure. Not sure if it’s mold or maybe even poop. I’ve only noticed it on that green leaf and also the webbing. Haven’t found any on the substrate but I’m...
I have this gbb for about 3 months now, and it won't come out of that dumbass skull i bought her. She looks like in premolt and she doesn't eat anymore, but it's been 3 months now. Shouldn't she have molted already?
Hey guys, I just got a new pink toe a couple days ago. I just noticed the T to be curling up one leg like a death curl but no other legs do this. When I lift the lid the T goes back into a normal stance. Is it just chilling like that or should I be worried? It hasn’t eaten yet but im guessing...
I’m looking for help or feedback on my care and husbandry. I came home last night and went through my normal routine of checking on my slings to find my cyriocosmus leetzi wasn’t moving. It molted at the beginning of the month (the 4th I believe) and hasn’t eaten since. I found it sitting in...
On either the 15th or the 16th of December, I got a few more Ts to add to my collection, and one of them happened to be my first old-world, a female Cameroon Rust Baboon (Hysterocrates gigas). Evidently I'm aware of how aggressive and stubborn they are, as well as how reclusive their nature is...
