Thanks :)
She shouldn’t be able to get through anything smaller than the carapace, correct? I’m going to have to take a very close second look....I do not fancy searching for an escaped T.
I’m setting up a new house for my P. platyoma. Figured I’d post a pic here to get some feedback from you guys before I move the little lady.
The new enclosure measures 14.5”x11.75”x7.25”
It came with some holes but I intend to make some more...input on that is very welcome.
And also, a...
I name mine, at least for the time being. I’m sure at some point I’ll stop and only name certain ones...
My current T’s are:
Phobia
Snap
Crackle
Pop
Queenie
Cookie Monster
“Reduncus”
Nemo
Love
Bug
Billie
Spider
Blacky
Whitey
G. pulchripes had just molted when I woke up this morning. Left it’s old exoskeleton halfway down the hole to its burrow.
Upon closer inspection this evening it made a molting mat on the flat surface next to the entrance....silly sling. Seems no worse for the wear.
First pic two are around 4...
Now that I’ve seen the little dude move im not really concerned. It’s laughable.
It was splitting it’s time between the surface and it’s burrow recently. Guess it couldn’t decide where it wanted to go for it
Def won’t be feeding the little one for a bit.
I seem to find myself saying that to this one a lot. Woke up this morning to find it had molted. But it looks like it may have fallen into the tunnel as it flipped (or something)?
Tarantula fail.
I hope it is alright, the thought of a spider falling in such fragile condition worries me.
I...
THis is exactly how I felt the first time I saw one actively molting. I guess I had expected them to look more....alive? Idk.
Happy your GBB is doing well! :)
Avicularia avicularia is commonly called a pink toe.
And adult Avic avic was my first T. Just don’t underestimate it jumping! I can’t add anything regarding care, the best info has been linked.
I woke up to my GBB sling, Nemo, finally molting his morning. It’s been off food for almost 3 weeks and as much as I know tarantulas are fine to do that I was starting to worry.
Perhaps now the thing will have hairs to kick at me, it kicked them all off ages ago
Bad pic, but obviously I don’t...
Did your sling actually molt? Your post said you thought it was premolt and then waited a week. Not at all trying to pick your post apart, just thinking.
I got two more for myself for Valentine’s Day. P. irminia and Y. diversipes. =D
They make 10. I’m trying to take it easy, but I just want them allllllll!
I’m new to making my own enclosures (and to T’s really). I have one finished (?) one and one that I’ve started. I wanted to get some advice about the amount of ventilation, specifically.
Enclosure number one:
Dairy Queen have me this great enclosure with ice cream in it!
This would be...
