I get cork bark from a local pet supply store, they have really ornate aquariums with hundreds of species of fish but they also have reptile and bird items. You could try checking out something similar in your area. I know my place has really decently priced cork bark. Just as a side note, I...

I'm just trying to help, please don't put me on full blast. Yes, that is the first tarantula I've owned myself and it's stressed me out to no end but it is not the first tarantula I've helped taken care of. I've been helping care for them for 4 years. I'm not trying to come off as a know it all...

Acanthoscurria paulensis? Grammostola rosea? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great, let us know how she does, good luck!

The poster mentioned that keeping his t's at 90 degrees is how he treats early symptoms of DKS. That doesn't seem to be what your t is going through. Your tarantula was kept in a too humid and possibly moldy enclosure, DKS is usually unexplainable (some people don't think it's real and it's an...

I don't know, I think you should get he(r), that's a good price. And I wouldn't worry about being ready for an arboreal species. My A. avicularia is boring, she loves her round cork bark and webs up the place like no tomorrow. She very docile and slow moving. I've never been around an A...

Make sure there is dry substrate in that enclosure and you cleaned out and sterilized the possible mold substance. If your tarantula still had the water drop on her when you flipped her back over then she didn't drink the water. Keep her chelicerae over the water dish now just in case she...

If she's still responsive there's still a chance. But rather than just placing her over the dish I would go all in now and turn her over, drip water for her, and get that heat up like one of the other users mentioned. If you haven't already, take her and put her in an enclosure with ventilation...

I will be so annoyed if it's a pulchra i definitely thought of that before anything else and was like nah

Grammostola porteri

That one is tough... B. albopilosum Perhaps? lol

A. avics in my experience do not tend to be very skittish, a lot of their cousins are. Some people say that they tend to be more skittish than terrestrials so your tarantula is more than likely normal. The only avicularias I have had the pleasure of handling/feeding have been extremely calm and...

Haha, I only mentioned it for the people who might not know. It's just something for a new keeper with arachnophobia may want to keep in mind. They're so beautiful it's hard not to want one!

C. Versicolor are still pretty fast, I have seen them bolt out of their enclosure and get away on occassion. They're considered docile and skittish.

Hello! I am a first time tarantula keeper! I have had my tarantula for about a week now. Personally (perhaps because I am bias) I would recommend a juvenile avicularia avicularia (common/guyana pink toe). They are rather easy to find, inexpensive (I got my beautiful Lucifer aka "Lucy" for $30...

Very cool, when it comes to tarantulas that sounds a lot like A. avicularia and A. braunshauseni. I've talked to a few people about it and they don't seem to know the difference other than the size! Very interesting stuff :)

I don't know anything about scorpions but is that a Pandinus imperator? I think they had one at my petco when I went in 2 days ago and it made me want to do a bunch of research and get a scorpion! :)

If he was just suffering from dehydration then he'll likely pull through. It's still a good idea to monitor his health for now. If he has no other problems other than the dehydration and you stay diligent in making sure he has water until he's back to full health, it's likely he'll be okay. I...

Hey guys, thank you for the advice! It was great conversing and getting advice, I just got some different plants for her enclosure and am about to switch those out and place them how @cold blood said to. My little t was out and about when I woke up this morning and seems to be doing fine! Here...

Wow! I've been watching youtube videos and looking at forums on how to set up an enclosure and I don't think they've ever mentioned that, maybe it's just a no brainer or I haven't been paying enough attention but I feel like they just say "and throw some plants in there" and that's that. Thank...
