Thank you so much !

I am getting an adult confirmed female Mexican red rump. And wanted to know how to properly set up the enclosure. Should they be on dry or damp substrate? Do they need special heating or fine with room temp? Does the sub need to be very deep are they a burrowing species ? Let me know so I can...

Okay thank you !!

It’s cocofiber should I just mist it or pour some water in it and mix it up

Okay for this species should they be on damp or dry substrate ?

I know the tarantula is not 1.5 inch . I said that’s around how deep I have the substrate

It’s like that

It’s like that

It’s about an 1.5 inch

I just got a new tarantula today from my local exotic pet store it is family owned. I fed her in the store before purchasing and she took the cricket. Since getting home (around 4 hours ago) she’s been constantly moving and walking around. Everytime I look over at her enclosure she’s in a...

Yes I now know that . She always is so calm and slow when in her enclosure once she got out she took off now stop running anytime I brought the container near her to try and get her back in unfortunately when rushing to get it over her I got her leg . But now looking at it . It looks more like...

Okay as long as she’s going to be okay. I am new to tarantula keeping just started 3 months ago and she’s just my second T so I’ve never experienced this very happy to hear it’s nothing to worry about ! Thank you

How do I go about putting the corn starch on the leg . Do I went it and put it on a Qtip ?

My Brachypelma albopilosum took off running today so hurried and tried to put a Tupperware dish over her and I caught her leg. I don’t know if this is something I should worry about and do something to help it or if this is just something minor that will heal on it’s own . I can’t tell if it’s...

Oh yes first pictures is when I first got done setting the enclosure up and just put in the sub and it was I yellow lighting last picture she’s in the dark and I used flash. But okay nice tip ! Hopefully when the time comes when I need to “cup” her she won’t run away lol . Thank you for your...

Thank you so much !! Any advice to make me a better new T mom helps thank you :)

I don’t believe the sub is Damp i have not misted it at all . It’s cocofiber. I couldn’t fill it that high because of the ventilation holes on the sides of the enclosure I ordered it from Jamie’s Tarantulas’s.com . I could probably fill it a little more so it’s right underneath the holes but...

Wow okay thank you so much for telling me that ! When I got her her abdomen looked a little grape shaped to me and i read that’s not how it’s suppose to be ? so I thought she wasn’t being well fed so I kinda went maybe a little crazy with the crickets ? I fed her 1 on Tuesday when I first got...

Thanks for the advice ! I did just get her a few days ago so I’m going to move her to a quieter place I sorta have her on display she’s my first T and I think she’s the coolest thing ever she’s fun to watch ! Hopefully she will get a little better with time and patience fingers crossed if not...
