My year and a half or so old Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens has been doing quite fine for awhile but 3 or 4 days ago I found mold in it's enclosure. I made a stupid decision by putting small wooden statues in the new home I gave it 2 months ago. The mold appeared on both small statues. I...

I recently got my first tarantula in April this year at an expo and completely forgot to ask the vendor how old it was. My t is a Curly hair, Brachypelma Albopilosum (Idk if it’s Nicaragua or Honduran if that matters) and it’s about 2 inches from end to end. It hasn’t molted either and I think...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the board. I have a GBB tarantula. I got it from Fear Not Tarantulas.com a little over a month ago, and it just molted last week! It's about 1.5" now. This if my first T in quite some time. I had a Pink-Toed about 20+ years ago, and I had a Carolina Wolf spider...

Hi everyone, I am brand new to the T-Community but I have been researching on and off for about 5+ years, And today I was thrusted into the community and...I'm a bit frustrated and stressed by it. I am a person who spends years researching and collecting supplies for an animal before getting it...

Hey guys, the new owner who got a cobalt blue a few months ago. Well everything's been going fine, abdomen has bulked out, nice burrow made and regurly drinks etc. However this is the new issue.... I obviously without realising it put a gravid cricket in her tank.... it hid. I thought she got...

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forum so please leave any comments if I am doing anything wrong. I purchased a Curly hair Tarantula sling around the beginning of January, I have fed her twice since then with two Blatta Lateralis (Turk Roaches), she ate perfectly both times, after that she...

Hey everyone! New member here! Thought the fourums could give me some insight on questions I might have being a new tarantula keeper. My first tarantula I bought from a pet store () was a Avicularia avicularia, pink toe. So the tag said. That was 8 months ago. Today I was in the pet store again...

Hey guys im Spider.Mommy im still new to owning a T and I feel very anxious about my lil spidy! She is a Grammastola Rosea and ive had her since she was a lil 1cm big baby. She used to feed very well and she grew quickly! The molts were fine and after I brought one to the petshop where I bought...

Hi, im still fairly new with tarantulas and this is my first molting experience and im a little worried my t isnt okay. My pink toe started her webbing sept. 12 and completely shedded her old exoskeloton Nov. 3 but still hasnt come out of her cocoon... is this okay? She's been in her web...

So I literally just got a Tucson Blonde Tarantula yesterday. I was told she's about 10 years old, and I would say she's around 3-3'1/2 inches. I had her out on my hand when I was switching her to her new tank and she ran off my hand. She fell about 6-12inches I think. And she landed with her...

I have a 6 year old Chilean Rose Hair named Elise. I'm a textbook overthinker so I may be worried for nothing but I'd like another opinion. She has recently stopped eating, has spread a thick layer of web along the entire surface area of the substrate in her enclosure, and has been picking up...

Hello all, last week I acquired my first tarantula, an avicularia avicularia, about an inch and a half long from the front to the back toes. I've read a few comments here today about how heating lamps and moist substrates are not best for the genus. My worry is that I essentially live in the...

Im fairly new to owning a T, approximately 2-3months since I first got her. Shes started to enclose herself in a web and im wondering if shes building a "cocoon" to molt in, there's no opening in her webbing from what I can see. What do you guys think?

I got my first tarantula, a pink toe, last month and wanted to know if I was doing okay and if theres anything I could improve on. Q:She/he is around 2in in size right now. Can anyone guess how old it would be? Q: How many crickets should I give it and should it be weekly? Currently im giving...

So I just got a pinktoe tarantula, and I've heard that the fact sheets online can't be trusted. I know it's arboreal, and I've got a good cage, but I'm not quite sure how hot or humid it should be in there. I've just been spraying anyway. Any advice? Thanks!

Hi there, Getting a couple h. incei golds soon and wanted to get some advice on enclosures and see what you guys have.. Please and Thanks

Hello there! Ok. First of all, it was NOT an impluse buy. I had been thinking about getting a T for over a year now, and it finally happened! Brachypelma Smithi, about 4-5 cm, (around 2 inches). Tiny, I know. I was so excited when I was unboxing it! But BOY is the little thing FAST. I wasn't...

I have two Rose Hairs, one male close to adult or possibly already there, and one adult female aged about 8 years. Neither of them have eaten in months, probably around 3 or 4. I dont think the female is going to molt, she doesnt seem darker or anything, and the male molted in October of last...
