Hi guys. I am just new to the hobby. I got my first T last July which is a GBB sling. Today I got 2 new slings (B.Auratum and LP both 1.5") and I am a bit worried about my Auratum. She seems weak because when I transfered her to her enclosure, its like she doesn't want to move . I tried to push...
Hey fellow Tarantula keepers,
recently I got my first aboreal T as a sling. I'm keeping 2 terrestial T's currently (1 B. hamorii (ex. smithi) at 6cm length and 1 G. pulchripes that I got as a sling who's grown to 2,5cm)
I'm not really sure what enclosure is optimal for a C. versicolor sling...
She made 2 egg sac's .. this is my 1s time breeder i think i did good .. 1s sac only 74 made it . 2 sac 77 slings i have my hands full . Ones in the Deli Cups is the first egg sack. The ones on incubation right now or the second. =)
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...
Hey y’all! I just got my first sling (an a. Hentzi) and he keeps climbing the walls of his enclosure (even going as far as to climb onto the ceiling!) he is in a very small enclosure - a Jamie’s Tarantula’s sling enclosure, and I have maybe three inches worth of substrate in his tank. He hasn’t...
Threw the cheap macro lens adaptor on my phone and took a few photos of my whiteknee slings. Quite a short focal range on it. Planning to do some focus stacking in the future to try and capture all of the deltails.
Need to invest in a macro lens for my DSLR now that I have something tiny to...
Just transferred my Whiteknee slings to a new pot (bit early but wanted to see them clearer without disturbing them) and thought I'd take a couple shots.
They're invert viewing pots, so have a magnifying lid, which is quite nice for seeing all their little details. They're out of direct light...
How old do they have to be?
I have a GBB sling that’s about 1/2” and a good under belly shot. I attached the photo just in case. I also suck at sexing.
Hey everyone :)
No i don‘t have a flying tarantula but sort of a problem tho. I often find my little sling floating on top of the water in her water dish. And I mean often, she‘s been doing this for weeks now. I tried raising humidity but that didnt seem to affect the behaviour, I think the...
I found this sling in Sunflower Arizona almost a year ago and im still having trouble trying to find out what he might be. Someone have any suggestions?
A friend sent me a picture from a small mom and pop pet shop saying that they were not sure even what to put it as or how to price it. They have it labeled as a pamphobeteus sp flammifera but the slings that I see online look like they have darker legs and the pattern looks just a tad different...
My S. Cal, Telle, caught in the act of testing her enclosure borders.
I think it's a female because her growth is significantly slower than most her age.
So my conclusion is either she's an escape artist in the making, a velociraptor in a spider's costume, or a reincarnated security guard...
I'm extremely happy seeing that this little one has enjoyed a big meal last night. Now I just want it to molt and take a one step further away from the delicate sling state.
Hello all, relatively new to the hobby, got my first T about 18 months ago, but first time sling owner.
I've got an adult striped-knee, and previously had a pink-toe who, unfortunately was lost to a molting accident, so I tend to get nervous around molts, especially any of my babies first one...
Just got these 2 from a dear friend of mine and I can't wait till they grow up already...hoping for 2 females lol. They are currently at 1/3 of an inch!
