[Spidro]

Thought id post this in here cause I figure id get a wuick response. Was gone for maybe 3 hours and came home, found this in my avic avics tank. No idea if its just poo or what is it, appears to be sticking there in a clear goo like film? Avic has moved across the tank since I left her so im thinking she pur it there. Any ideas?

Hahahahaha. That made me laugh.

Since I just got 2 new additions, I need to give it more time before I get another T, but I am very interested in my next T being an Avic. I do like and have had experience with Metallic Pink Toes, but I'm not 100% set on a particular species yet...it would be my first Avic...Im wondering if going BIG for a first one is a bad idea or not. As I'm super interested in Salmon Bird Eaters...Hmmmmm...I do love Pink Toes too though...theres alot to consider...

Yeah, I seem to be missing out! I'm thinking my next Ts will be a Pink Toe, and an Indian Ornamental. After my Ceratogyrus and OBT grow up a bit. Oh and after my scorpion has her babies and all that, lol. But yeah, I'm intrigued.

Shilo, my little avicularia avicularia, decided to spend the day outside her beautiful web. I just had to take a lot of photos.

Hi All,

Martin suggested that I post in here. This is Samara (aka Princess Fancy Pants). I bought her labeled as A. Avicularia, but knew that she was def. mislabeled due to her coloring.....with a little help from a few experts, it seems that my very first T is an A. Urticans

 

[Leylaf]

Here is another pic of her....soooo proud!

I just got my avicularia avicularia which was just labeled pink toe tarantula, this Saturday. I was out of town when I got him. I had a good 2 hr drive to get home and he just doesn't seem to want to eat. I have him in a decent enclosure, should I be worried?

 

[Charmyknux]

Probably just settling in

My male Avicularia avicularia is 5" from tip of leg 1 to tip of leg 4 diagonally. Does that mean that he is full grown?

Hello
Usually an Avicularia Avicularia reaches full grown size at 5 inches sometimes 5.5,so I'd say for a male that's about it.

Well that's what I suspected but didn't want to hear. I bought him 6 days ago from pet land. He is really docile with a sweet personality and I was hoping to have several years with him. I will just enjoy what time I do have with him and make him as happy as possible. Thanks for the info.

Leylaf I just love your nickname Princess Fancy Pants. It is adorable and so suited for a avic. Beautiful tarantula.

Guys. Please help me. I lost another avic last night. Thats my second one! Its my avic avic sling. She was tiny (aprox 1cm). I found her with white fur all over her on the ground. Ive seen her eat loads of times but she never really webbed and was all ways somewere different and never molted in three months. Since losing the a.purple pink toe sling for being too dry too long ive been making double sure they are damp all the time. Is this were ive gone wrong? Too damp this time? My versicolor sling seems to live it though she made a fantastic maze of web and eats well and has molted once in the 2 months ive had her

Or was it a molt gone wrong as she was on the ground?

Usually the fuzziness is mold after death,being too wet can cause death or too dry. I'd say utilize enough ventilation,only mist the ground when its almost dry the smaller the enclosure the easier. I've had great success with my new enclosures, hope you try similar and see what happens for you.
