Thank you so much everyone for your contribution to my thread I really appreciate it. I don't know for sure what happened to my tarantula, but I'm gunna up my anti and keep more of an eye on my other tarantulas and there enclosures. She was a beautiful and amazing creature and she'll be missed...
The back of the terrarium got a bit dry but the front I always keep soaked. All that substrate is moist. And top back layer is dry. It was a bit to dry but again lesson learned I need to be more careful. Thak you so much :)
No no I totally agree with you, I usually use wood for my other tarantulas but for her I got extremely lazy even with her substrate. Thank you i like the way you set that enclosure up. If I decide to get another humid loving species(not anytime soon) I'll set it up way better. Thank you for your...
The hide is the plastic container I pulled it up to show the mold. Honestly I hope it's just old age because I'd feel incredibly guilty for putting her in pain in any way :(
You're totally right, I had recently changed her substrate and had been lazy not to fill it higher. I'm feel really stupid and feel incredibly terrible. I feel guilty as f***.
Yes it is feces, I've never heard of tarantulas being impacted! That can be a possibility. Shes always had a voracious appetite, and about 3 days ago she had absolutely no inclination to eat any roaches.
Oh i'm happy that the mold wasn't an issue. I bought her as an adult and i didn't get any info on how old she was or if she was wild caught (She probably was though). The vertical length of her cage is 8 in in the front and around 5-6 in, in the back. She had recently been a bit active, and she...
This evening I was gifted with the sight of my T. stirmi completely curled up. I really don't know what happened, I'm in a state of complete shock. She was up and running the day before like nothing was wrong. I had found this mold growing under her hide and I don't know if that contributed to...
i pulled them out today...i think it was slightly early. They still are in their egg stage but they are all surprisingly fertile! Im so excited they look to be about 100-200 in count. None of them looked bad.
i will thank you

yes the man that i bought her from told me she was used for breeding before she was sold to me
I'm at a loss for words...I can't even describe what I'm feeling right now xO. My Hapalopus sp. Columbia I bought from a reptile convention about 4 or 5 months ago is carrying an eggsack. She's encapsulated herself in her little hide and I can see her holding it through the webs. I really don't...
oh yeah of course! Right now she looks the the same but if anything happens ill post an update in a flash but she'll probably be ok she has been for a month ;)
I'm also hoping for the best.
