husbandry

Hi there, I’ve had my female Chilean Rose Hair, Tilly, for 13 years. I’ve always called her my “pet rock” because she is super chill - she only ever climbs when something is wrong with her habitat and will normally relax in or around her hide. A few weeks ago, the unthinkable happened: ants...

Hi guys, Just hoping for a bit of help honestly. I’ve only just got into the hobby but struggling with the humidity for my Mexican Red Knee. She’s only a juvenile but I’ve attached a picture of her enclosure but the humidity won’t drop below 90%. I live in the UK so it’s not necessarily warm...

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...

Hey everyone, I am doing an assignment for my university course in which I have to make a presentation and talk around a species of exotic bird, reptile, amphibian, or invertebrate in our animal collection at my university site. For my assignment I chose the lovely Desert Blond (due to me...

I have some basic questions about G.pulchripes as I want to make sure I'm doing the best I can for them. I keep their plastic cages with cross ventilation with about 3cm of substrate on heat mats to hold them around 20-25C/70-75F as I live in ireland and we're not exactly warm! I try to ensure...

I discuss how I care for this species, what kind of enclosure and set ups I use, how often and how much to feed, their location, environment and all thin

I just bought 2x p.regalis slings and I need advice on how to care for them and how often do I feed them.

Hi everyone, I just got my first Jumping spider, a female P.Bidentatus. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me as the breeder I got her from told me to keep her in an arid set up and also sold me the set up. She’s on sand at the moment and I was told her species likes little to no...

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...

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...
