But why ?

what is this white spot on my LP ? It does not look like bump , but like discolored hairs . She molted month ago . 2 days ago she did eat male dubia roach . Acting normal . She is on larger side , previous owner told that she something like 8 years old . Should i worry about that spot?

any brachypelma , nhandu or grammostola would be great choice .

How hard substrate must be pressed down when setting up new enclosure ? Hard as you can with fist or slightly like Petko from dark den does ?

last molt was to messed up to check for anything . It is confirmed that she is female from previous molts .

about 4.3 inches . I really doubt that she is mature .

So i was touching my A.geniculatas enclosure and i heard some strange sounds . it turns out that my GBB was reacting to those vibrations and responding with drumming . I`m 100% sure that she is NOT yet mature . Still being fairly small and 2 molts ago she still was in sling colors . Why is...

Why he pokes old world tarantula with fingers .... just asking to get bitten . And she looks like in premolt ...

Location Texas ? It is warm there right ? That can be problem . But good news is that dubias are extremely bad breeders . Thy breed really slow and thy outside colony most likely will not breed at all . Thy are very social . Just smash those adults if u see them . That winged one is mature male...

Can i give dubias wet (soaked in water) oatmeal as emergency moisture source for 24h ? All my veggies and fruit are spoiled and it is to late to go shopping . i do not have anything else what i can give them . Maybe boiled egg , but thats to much protein i think .

i think it is Araneus diadematus

stop talking like this . Heresy !!!

How this affect keepers in europe ? You can say that in eu there is no borders , so there is no importing or exporting just transporting... So no one will take away lasiodoras and nhandus from people who own them ?

I have question about zophobas morio larva . What are those stringy bits inside exuvia ? Those go in all length of larva . like in this picture . Sometimes i see (seen only couple times) stringy bit sticking out from larva emm behind . i`m almost sure that is not parasite what sticks out . It...

Some updates . Gbb sling molted and those spots are still there but smaller and one spot turned into small bump like tiny piece of substrate . I can not get picture of it , sling wont pose for me . but i did take macro picture of molt . Sling acts normal and eats . Still it is mystery what are...

I have named only few of my spiders . I named my Thrixopelma ockerti Trixie

from where Zophobas morio beetles emit that defensive smell ? It is somewhere in thorax right ? when i annoy beetle enough some cloudy liquid shows in that general location and beetle starts to stink . Where are those glands located actually ?

here is picture of her. In live her colors looks drab . I use tap water for all my 32 spiders . Water in my area is very good . Only she acts like this . in old enclosure she did some webbing and did climb all the time . I think she is still stressed form rehousing so no webbing yet .

i did press it down hard when making this enclosure . maybe thin dry layer is bit loose but thats unavoidable when substrate drys out .

My D.fasciatus (or it is pentaloris . it has light carapace) is climbing and just hanging above substrate . I mean all the time like floor is lava . substrate is bit moist and upper part is starting to dry out . This species need bit moisture as far i know so this is so strange . I rehoused her...
