Hello From VA!

[KhaleesiMae]

Hey all! My name is Mae and I just got my first two little babies! One is a Pink Toe and the other is a GreenBottle Blue. I've done a LOT of research but it never hurts to learn from others as well! I have always wanted to try my hand at tarantulas as I've kept other bugs like mantids, and have always been around snakes and lizards, but this is something new and exciting to me! My babies are still very small, eating only one little cricket at a time, but they're very cute and very active! I hope to get to know all of you well and I gain a wealth of knowledge about these amazing little creatures so they can grow up and thrive under my care!

welcome Mae. congrats on getting the babies

Hi there mae! Good luck on your new adventure!

Hi Mae, welcome to the hobby. I'm sure you'll soon buy more.

 

[KhaleesiMae]

Thats what I'm worried about, they're such an easy and gorgeous pet. They don't require much and there are so many variations and colors.

Welcome!

I love pink-toes, and I love baby tarantulas. I'm hoping to get a pink-toe soon myself.

Best of luck with your new tarantulas! : )

 

[KhaleesiMae]

I love the little pink toe. I opened up the container though and it looked at me like "excuse me????" And hid. The GBB on the other hand is like "hey what's up?!"

 

[KhaleesiMae]

Proud to say my GBB "Pico" ate its first meal with me this morning. The pink toe "Octa" is about to molt so no food for it since it doesn't want to eat. I'm so happy because Pico went right for the cricket with no hesitation at all and I got the right size (so hard to get crickets when they're this size) so it's being gobbled up as I type this. Yay!

It's always a great feeling when a new T takes its first meal with you.

 

[KhaleesiMae]

Even better I didn't get charged for the one cricket at the pet store because it was so dang small!

If u think a cricket is a little too big u can prekill it. they will usually still take it. And welcome by the way. i am from maryland.

For Pico I think he's fine on the crickets but I didn't even think about a prekill!!! Awesome idea. For Octa I'm slightly worried about the cricket size so I may do that.

 

[Chubbs]

What species of pink toe?

 

[KhaleesiMae]

From what the guy told me just avic avic.

 

[KhaleesiMae]

Quick question: Out of sheer curiousity, I dropped a tiny cricket into the pink toe's viv and now its munching away happily. The guy I got it from said it was going to molt soon and it wouldn't eat. Does that mean it won't molt soon or do they really just vary?

I'm from Virginia so not too far off from ya!

 

[GitaBooks]

I think they just vary. Ours is nearing molt and isn't eating right now, but I'm sure all of them are individuals, like shedding snakes.

It varies. ive had them eat and then molt that night. or refuse food for like 2 months and then molt.
