So my thread got removed my a moderator since I said it wasn't my own. Let me clarify that my mother in law took the picture and sent it to me on whatsapp for me so ask here so I have her permission to use the image. As previously mentioned, pretty sure this one's fake but would like some...

Perfect, thanks Kezy :))))

This is my friends Brachypelma albopilosum and she noticed an odd reverse bald spot. Any idea what this indicates? She recently fed a cricket, so I thought perhaps it was from kicking but it looks so clean. Thanks for everyone's input. Note: Sold my spiders ready for the move, thank you to...

@darkness975 I'm moving to AZ, about an hour's drive away from Phoenix :)

Hello All, It is with slight sadness that I have to write this post. I am currently in the process of a move to the states and will inevitably have to give up my two Tarantulas and get more when I'm over there. I own an adult female G. pulchra and a Juvinile?? Female B. hamorii. I got the...

So a few weeks on with her new substrate, and she's crazier than ever. Won't stop pacing her enclosure, constantly trying to get out by pushing herself against the lid, burrowing, then giving up. Flipping her water bowl. Hanging upside down. And today, trying to eat her way out of her air hole...

OK so I may be slightly soft in the skull >.< My friend sent that picture before making any amends. She is in the process of making all the necessary arrangements and will have a nice happy T. Thanks for all the help and points raised, definitely helped and sorry if I wasted anyone's time!!!!!

My friend is getting her first T, and she sent the above picture as her enclosure. She will likely getting either a B. hamorii, G. pulchripes or E. parvulus. What are your thoughts on this enclosure? Thanks

Taken in Arizona San Tan Valley, about 4 inches.

Took her out, put new sub in and compressed to hell, now she's back in. It's not as dry as I would have liked it but it will hopefully dry out shortly. Will update if she takes to it

Thanks all, I've now got the extra substrate drying and I will compress and rehouse when ready. (Should be a few days) I did spot the t doing a rather odd thing today - she was suspended like this for about 3 minutes and then carried on like nothing happened. Again from other posts I've read...

Inbetween fruit meals I let my Dubias eat HP Sauce. A quick splodge and they're all over it.

Just a side question, how DO you make substrate both bone dry and tightly packed? Is there any trick to it? I normally spread it all out on a trash bag to dry out Thanks again for solving the problem :)

This was something I had concerns over in the past. It was very loose putting it in. Thanks for confirming!!!!!

My B smithi (or I guess I just start saying B hamorii) has been really active today. She's spent the day burrowing out the corners of her enclosure, but there isn't really enough substrate to make a burrow. (I assume that's ok but let me know if it's not) Now she's pushing against the lid and...

Just read this, why has it changed to B hamorii??

Yea it has three settings but setting one is Hurricane Katrina. I don't use the other settings...

I decided to get Tarantulas to get over my arachnophobia.

It's very hot in the UK and I've set up a fan next to me. I know spiders down like any sort of breeze and so I've thrown one of my shirts on top of the enclosures to buffer any wind. Is this fine to do? I don't want to stress them out? I have a G pulchra and a B smithi.
