Now me, being a rather hasty or somewhat headlong person sucked up as much information as I could about Tarantula's from this forum and from YouTube videos. However, there is one big piece of data I didn't quite consider fully...
MOST OF YOU ARE AMERICAN!
Now now, that's not an insult! In...
My other T who is also a sling, but much older and much smaller has always molted and no problems.
I guess it must be luck sometimes, I will keep the heatmat on because it's cold rn and I will keep drying off the lid where moisture builds up.
I am very concerned not just because it's a pet but...
Ya, the substrate I kept her on was wet at first but I have somewhat dried it out.
As I explained in the post you just quoted, I literally just sprayed some more water to help with the molt if it is one.
@Chris LXXIX
Also we don't use Farhenheit we use Celsius so please specify your temps if...
Quick update as well as pics:
I have been spraying some water to help IF IT IS a molt, she/he has eaten very well for her size when she last ate. Spraying water =/= light misting.
I have also touched her legs to get a reaction, and since putting her on the heat mat I am getting more of a...
Oh, guess who? Its ya BOI shrubs here.
Recently, my Brachypelma emilia T has gone stiff and was turned on her side, I assumed it was moulting last night and I left her to it. She has still not moved, however upon lightly touching her legs they will twitch or move on her own. I assume she is...
No stupid arguments, no invalid points.
For example: You can't handle a Tarantula, it stresses it out! It is an instinct animal not meant to be held!!!!!!!
Stress is an emotion, therefore it would imply a Tarantula is indeed capable of emotions. And not merely driven by instinct. Well done, you...
Oh I see, you would like to buy a Tarantula?
Mhm, oh yeah you need hmmm ahh let's see here now: A heat mat, heat bulb, UV bulb, expensive enclosure with gold plating and steel girder supports, gel pots, our very own brand of Spider Sand I recommend it too. What else? Ah yes of course, a...
As the title plainly suggests, are they able to think and decide what to do like a cat, dog or a pig can?
Surely, they must have this ability to create elaborate tunnels and such with terrestrial burrowing species, not to mention Arboreal tarantula's that decide which tree to jump to.
How about...
I got my first T back in December 2016, and in those 10 months and a half, my lil "Ungoliant" has only moulted twice.
Is she/he a female? Can you tell from growth? Other than that, lets focus on the most important fact here guys:
SLOW GROWTH, PLEASE MORE I AM SO ENJOYING IT. CAN'T YOU TELL? I...
Its a plastic terrarium, with big netted air vents either side. I spray it with a mist sprayer every 4 days, or every week.
I have sand mixed with potting soil as substrate.
(Also, in that picture I had just freshly misted her terrarium and got her out to take pictures)
I have been putting this off for quite a while now, but I am now quite worried for my Mantids/Mantis'ss (????) health.
I think back in august of 2017, I noticed that "Tismon" (yes, that is the name of my Mantis) had developed a black fringe on the bottom of her wings. I thought nothing of it...
Yes, sorry for late reply. The pictures I got were taken by my phone, and it is now broken. #touchscreenproblems
What can I say? I've dropped my phone on solid concrete, left it out in boiling temperatures, blasted it with water yet my keys falling on it from no more of a distance of 4cm is...
I have had this little spider for roundabout 3 months now, and previously thought it was female due to the size difference of the other Tegeneria domestica spiders I own. I at first, thought it was a female due to her size. Now I realize/think its a male. I am now quite confused as to what...
