Use a fish aquarium scraper with the razor blade attachment. No cleaning substance needed. They’re usually pretty long too

Would normally molt sex but this particular bugger likes to shred his molt. Thanks for the opinions!

Please help sex my 3.5” GBB

I’m actually good friends with our local pet shop owner. And recently we discussed the sponge and I advised to trash it because it’s a breeding ground for bacteria. And basically she said she uses it because the lights dry out the water dishes for small scorpions multiple times a day. The sponge...

Place entire bin inside of a larger tub to prevent scattering spiders. Then you could possibly use a syringe to “shoot” air at the slings and disturb them away from the corners?

What time your package makes it to the door is 100% on who the delivery driver is in that case. The seller over nighted it as promised. Not much they can do once it’s out of their hands.

Hilarious. I scrolled down to post my e murinus as a clean freak. Eats like an absolute pig. And right on que, scraps in the water dish ‍♂️

I would like to hear the follow up to this story? Did you survive?

My ultimate fear stems from losing the actual t, instead of the t itself. My S. calceatum sling is that spider. I had never seen anything come sprinting out of the TWO basins I was rehousing in until that faithful day. People who throw around the word teleport understand.

Personally, our second bedroom is our “Repti-Room”. It stays a humid 78 from the basking lights and such. Perfect for T’s... not so much for me.

I could be wrong because I have no experience ventral sexing. However, in my experience a 6 year old spider would be a stretch for a male. I vote female.

My fiancé is almost as obsessed as I am. She loves manipulating crickets to the burrow as much as I do. As mentioned above, she more hates touching the crickets than the actual t.

I’ve got my first old world coming, p. Metallica. Also ordered an a. Genic and got a freebie as well for slow shipping

I’m sometimes careless but have never been bitten. I have ugly reactions so maybe I should be a touch More careful

Does anyone have the meme that has 9 panels of a dark burrow/hole. Labeled “happy t, sad t, etc.” the last is labeled ‘hungry t” and there are toes sticking out

My new p irminia sling is in a JIF peanut butter jar... Now that I think of it, all of my juvies are in pretzel tubs as well.

Neither of those threads answers my questions about feeding/fasting before hand, waiting on the female to molt, should I leave them unattended in the enclosure with it closed, etc. So clearly you never made it past the title before you had decided it wasn’t worth your time to reply. Yet here...

I am interested in trying to breed my female GBB in the near future. I am not looking for just a specific genus guideline.. but more of a bunch of info in general about the subject. How do you know that both tarantulas are ready to breed? What’s the best way to feed/fast before hand, or will it...

Pre kill an appropriate sized cricket so there’s no struggle to catch food/prey as well.
