I was worried I might have messed up her plans by taking them out :/

Has anyone else ever had this happen? She normally molts in her burrow and just tucks the whole thing somewhere in there. I'm not even sure she is a female, I got her a couple years ago as an unsexed spiderling. It's been several weeks since her last molt. Her burrow goes down the front of the...

I don't really come on this forum much, but one of the threads I've made was asking about keeping S. grossa as pets (https://arachnoboards.com/threads/wild-caught-steatoda-grossa-as-pet.298202/). That was five years ago, and the little girl I found when I posted it it still with me. I definitely...

Most often it seems paint brushes, straws, deli cups, or something of that sort is recommended. But how am I suppose to get a burrowing spider who doesn't want to move into the bigger enclosure? My Hysterocrates gigas (Cameroon Red Baboon) is currently in a 4"x4"x8" display clase enclosure...

So I have a 24"×24"×48" screen enclosure. It's got tons of live plants, a misting system, an Arcadia quad lighting fixture, and all that. It housed a chameleon, but I'm going to college next year so would like something that is short lived and/or easy to care for. So, any ideas as far as what...

My ball python's favorite thing to do when I hold her around my neck is steal my glasses. She lifts her head up, plops herself against my cheek, sticks her head under my glasses, loops over them, and then returns to my shoulder with her prize. One of my chickens does a similar thing, she jumps...

Cool, thanks

Alright so I've done some searching around the forum and some other sites, and wouldn't appreciate if the info I gathered seems accurate: Temperature: high 70s to low 80s Humidity: 70-80% Feeding: a few crickets a week Habitat: a few inches of substrate (coconut coir fiber), a water dish, and a...

Thanks, I'll look into the mentioned species, I've heard a bit about the Asian forest scorpions, they seem cool, and I think I've seen them at the one pet store near me that isn't a death shop, so that's good. And yeah, I just call ever sort of bite, sting, pinch, or prick a pinch out of habit...

I'm trying to find a good list for ideal beginners, but I keep getting overwhelmed. Unlike the other "first" animals I've had to choose, there seems to be less of a cut and dry list of good beginners. So, I don't know, I have a 5.5 gallon (17"x9"x11") with a screen lid. I've got coconut coir...

I believe it is about 12"×6"×8". It's just a standard sized 2.5 gallon aqueon tank.

So I've had this 2.5 gallon tank for a while that I currently have my juvenile B. albo in. The tank has a screen lid and really isn't too fancy. When I upgrade my T to a 5.5 gallon, I'm gonna have this tank completely empty, so environment type is really pretty flexible. I don't really want to...

Also, would it be fine to use coconut coir fiber as a substrate and cork bark for decor/web building surfaces for the steatoda grossa and the other spiders you listed. Also, how would you recommend I give water to the steatoda grossa (assuming that's what it is)? I have a bottle cap in there and...

I don't know what happenedwith the quotes in the last post, but I have a picture I have pictures of the underside as well, but it's from a further distance, so may not be as helpful. If you need any other angles, let me know. Thank you

I got my first T. (A juvenile B. Albo) recently, and I think she/he is just great, but once my mom figured out how long they could live if it is a female (I'm waiting for it to molt to find out, still), she decided I could not get any more T.s. So, I thought I'd look around and see what kind of...

Thank you, I will keep all that in mind. I especially like the idea of stackable terarriums.

So my mom says that I could maybe get the G. Pulchripes, but she's not sure. One of my issues, though, would be making sure I have enough space for it when it is full grown, so what cage size would you recommend for an adult? I haven't really been able to find reliable numbers for the adult tank...

I doubt anyone would physically kill it. I'm more worried about a sibling, guest, or parent putting the cage outside. They aren't super opposed to me keeping them, but they are a bit iffy about the idea. It's much more likely that they'd make me give it away than harm it in any way.

Thank you, I did have a look at that, it was very helpful and informative A G. Pulchripes, from what I've read, may be a little big, not for me, but for my parents, I'd rather get a smaller one than risking someone forcing me to get rid of it (or worse, kill it). I'll see what happens, though.
