    Yes I had some Aphonopelma too.... same! Soooo slow. We're talking spiritual growth and transformation though. :)

    Spirit Animal

    A friend of mine is a shaman. I had him come out to my work office last year to do a spiritual cleansing. I thought it would be interesting, supportive to his work, and I also have a weird neighbor so I figured it could clean up any possible bad juju from her. Anyway, it was quite...

    Can my taranta survive my vacation?

    You are going on a vacation? That still happens? I would go for that. Then you can check in on them, makes sure they have water, etc.

    Yes death is final, the worst, not what we want when we care for animals. But no reason to be alarmed, IMO. Molting is hard work and they need to rest afterwards. Plus slings stay burrowed for long periods of time anyway because it is how they protect themselves. It's very normal.

    It's probably not good or bad, just the tarantula doing tarantula things. Don't you ever do this? Get outta bed, drink a bunch of water, then get back into bed? It's probably all fine. Just refill the water dish.

    Actually Aggressive (not just overly defensive)?

    You know I'm not complaining. I think she's delightful and I love her feistiness.

    Actually Aggressive (not just overly defensive)?

    My Nhandu chromatus (Sophia Beetlejuice) often throws up a threat pose when I offer food, more water, etc. She's a grump. She holds her threat pose for a long time too. I could do a time lapse video and it would look like a photograph, she just holds it for like 32 minutes or so. It seems...

    Advice on feeding ONE tarantula

    And you can make our favorite joke in my household. While looking for food in the fridge "mmm yum we can have mealworms for dinner!" :geek:

    Advice on feeding ONE tarantula

    I have a small collection and I keep some mealworms in the fridge and I go to the pet shop every few weeks to buy crickets. It works just fine! For slings, I either get very small crickets or I cut up the worms. Welcome to the hobby!

    Hello, newbie here. Cobalt Blue tarantula question

    We do love you. Keep coming back. You did the best you could with the information you had, and now you are learning more information. I did the same thing with my first T- I took the information from the pet store and then came here with some other questions and I was schooled. Truly, I had...

    Hello, newbie here. Cobalt Blue tarantula question

    I don't know if he breeds these, but I highly recommend buying from @cold blood. He sold me a very demonic Nhandu chromatus and a very floofy avic and I love them both!

    Hello, newbie here. Cobalt Blue tarantula question

    I remember years ago, a mentor advised me to notice my defensiveness, and suggested "when you get defensive, get curious". I'm not always perfect at this but it's some of the best advice I've ever received! If you are open to information, OP, it will only benefit you and your tarantula...

    Review by 'Garth Vader' on item 'cold blood'

    cold blood is a cool dude. I was very happy to purchase an avic from him. He answered my questions, was prompt, packaged it well, and the whole process was both easy and enjoyable. This is the second T I've ordered from him, both experiences have been very positive and both Ts were really...

    Do you know what it is called at the Container store? I tried to find it on their website. Is it a shoebox?
