This is a highly inaccurate way of sexing a tarantula. If you have a molt, we could give you an answer on the sex. Also, you should probably include some pictures of the enclosure since you are going to be asked for that. However, it isn't unusual for tarantulas to fast for long periods of time.

B. vagans female a few days after molt

A. chalcodes female juvenile

Speaking from my husband's experience, he had to accept I wanted one as a pet. He grew to love my Avic avic and saw they are more of...pets rocks than anything. Mix it with his love of animals, and he has been mostly over it since. He still has a picture of my Avic avic as a background on his...

I haven't. People seem to do alright as long as they stay in their enclosures, which I have no intent on getting them out. Even an arachnophobic family member was interested at looking at one through her plastic container.

Some will eat right up to molting. Sometimes tarantulas will be defensive out of nowhere.

It depends on development and the tarantula itself. A mature male is going to be all over the sides, ceiling, and ground. Sometimes they may fall, though rarely. It is better to have some cushioning than none at all.

When it starts stinking. Weird advice, I know, but tarantulas can take a few hours to a few days to finish a molt.

It really depends. I have had a lot of good luck with different websites to different breeders without websites. What I tend to do is research the species I want and the price around on different websites, etc. Then I look into the reviews of different places I am considering. One thing is that...

Thank you the advice. I am also wondering if it is far too much moisture in the sub in pic #2.

I was advised to pour water down the side of the enclosure, but all it does is bounce all over the surface. I am using straight peat moss. It is around 9 inches of substrate. It is hard to judge how much water is too much using a funnel. How much water would you advise? So far, I have been...

I disliked the idea of them becoming egg bound and dying, not the information sharing. Changed it to sad instead.

Well, I should say it is beneficial in the way that it creates more tarantulas in captivity over having to catch wild ones.

Someone local contacted me wanting to breed his MM A. hentzi with my MF tarantula. I don't care for the slings or money, but I don't mind her being bred. Before making a decision, I just want to know: Are there complications that can arise for the female tarantula throughout the entire process...

MF A. hentzi's weirdo side molt from start to finish.

It turned out Lowes had some that are the perfect size. They were a little pricey, but I only want the best for my babies. A lot of the things on Amazon seem stable, but I ordered flower pots that turned out to be the same type of plastic resin that doesn't hold up after being buried. I don't...

Do you have any advice on what to feed dubia rockroaches? I have been feeding them bananas, oranges, and apples thus far.

I was freaking out due to the lack of twitches, strange position, etc, but she is alright, guys! Her carapace just popped off. :happy: Please close thread, moderators.

They aren't being mean when they say tong feeding is super risky; they are trying to give you sound advice. Any time you put your hand or tongs into the enclosure, you are risking the tarantula climbing on you. A MM Avic. avic. I owned made a mad dash to get out of his enclosure once. I didn't...

I even have sand paper to remove the rough edges.
