Peach the Pinky

[Fish]

She (I think it's actually he but the kids insist on she) belonged to an in-law who had raised her from a sling, but they sadly passed away a week ago. So here I have received the tarantula who hadn't been taken care of for 3 weeks. We don't have any "before" pictures, but the tank was full of junk, like leaves and stuff, and completely webbed over. Once I cleaned it out I found a molt tucked underneath everything, which smelled pretty bad. I cleaned everything out, removed the web, and gave her a superworm to eat. I know spiders don't really show expressions and all, but she seems a lot happier now. She's pretty skittish but hasn't tried to shoot poo at me yet. We got her a 5 gallon tank to move her to when she's done eating, and I'm honestly a little excited.

She got tired of me looking I guess

Not sure if its just me, but the fangs in the first picture looks pearl white, so could have molted recently.

5G is kinda large, and if it's a horizontal enclosure it's not the optional orientation for an arboreal. You'd be better off with something taller and narrower.

The white is actually the worm she was eating. She actually managed to completely devour the entire thing.

And that's not the 5G tank, it's like a little carrier that she came in. I cleaned it out before this pic, but she's not been moved to the larger one yet, since she's still chewing what was left of the worm, but thank you for the concern!
