Hi I'm Beth. I have 3 tarantulas. 1 Indian violet earth tiger. 1 black curly and a Mexican red knee. The black and the red knee r fine. Eating moulting..... But I got the Indian tiger in Jan and it won't eat. As far as I know it hasn't touched a thing. Won't eat worms I had from the shop won't eat crickets. Don't know what to do???

Chilobrachys fimbriatus - Theraphosidae

Chilobrachys fimbriatus (Po****/1899), ook wel de “Indian violet”, "Indian violet earth tiger" of "gestreepte dwergvogelspin" genoemd, is een door haar kleurenpatroon en visgraattekening op het abdomen zeer opvallende vogelspin uit India. Ze wordt vaak gezien als de mooiste vogelspin uit het...

Are you housing your tarantula in environmentally appropriate conditions for this species? Sometimes, not having a tarantula in the right conditions will cause this. There are also other factors such as molting, mites, nematodes or just plain fasting. Your tarantula may have just had enough to eat and preparing for a molt.

There were mites and I quickly sorted that prob. It hasn't eaten since I bought it. What are nematodes?. It might be housing??? But can't seem to send pics

Nematodes are microscopic non-segmented worms that occur naturally in soil all around the world. Most are harmless to your tarantula.

Pics would help a lot...

Housing for a C Fimbriatus isn’t anything special. Some sub somewhere to hide and a water dish (like top pic) Then after a few hours or days it’ll web up and ruin how you had it to how they want it like the bottom picture

 

[Rs50matt]

Also how big is it roughly? If it’s a mature male then it’ll connect a lot of dots

You’ve bought it from a pet shop I assume? They’ve mugged you off. It’s a mature male and you’ll be lucky if he eats at all before he dies which could be very soon

What.... Only had it in Jan they said it was a baby not an adult. Never bought an adult. I know I'm new to the hobby as I have 2 more I was going to post up... Did u see the pics as Im not sure what I'm doing. How can u tell its a mature adult? What the hell am I going to do??? What about the enclosure itself... It is also in a viv. Would like to know after I post everything up if the housing is right. If the viv is right... Any comments whatsoever off anyone would be so appreciated.
