    Can you handle a tarantula pre-molt?

    With regards to the urticating (itchy) hairs of the tarantula, most tarantulas from the Americas (known as New World species) have these hairs. They can flick them in self defence but also can remove them in other cases, possibly to create a kind of ‘defensive barrier’ in their territory...

    Oh no!! Is my tarantula dead??

    My P.sazimai is around 4" and my experience is similar to Grym's. She likes her (shallow) burrow and is skittish but does sit out a bit more as time goes on; showing off her beautiful colours I'm thinking :kiss: Mine is also a good eater with fast takedowns! :vamp:

    Is this webbing on the substrate?

    I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in but from the second photo it looks as it could well be mould. The white parts being the filaments and the black dots visable (against the lighter wood) being the spores. The residual moisture could well have been enough for the fungus to propagate.
