    Time for a new house!

    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.

    Time for a new house!

    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...

    Who molted today?

    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...

    G. pulchripes, why would you do that?

    This one refused 7 days after its first molt in my care so lost molt I gave it 10, so this time will likely be 10 days as well.

    G. pulchripes, why would you do that?

    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.

    G. pulchripes, why would you do that?

    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...

    Possible sad news.

    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! :)

    Tips from Experienced A. Avic Owners?

    Do you know if it has eaten roaches before? You could try offering a cricket next time.

    is a Avicularia avicularia a good beginer T

    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.

    Who molted today?

    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...

    P. Metallica frequently refuses food

    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.

    Ventilation

    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...
