I’ve put a few drops on it’s web just to be sure. It’s very active. I’ve tried all kinds of feeders for it, live, dead, head crushed, small, medium and large in size, I’m at a loss.

I’m following your thread and hoping for the best! I have a 3/4” sling that ate 3 roaches when I first got it, and hasn’t eaten in 4 months. It has not molted in my care. Keep us updated on your sling!

Don’t use heat mats for your T’s. Don’t chase humidity. God speed noob :)

Oh wow! I’m glad she ate, that’s a good sign. Hopefully she makes to the next molt and it goes smoothly.

I was sneaking in to catch a glimpse, but it has closed itself in its dirt curtain and stopped eating, so hopefully a molt is coming soon.

I was so excited when I got my P. irminia. It walked around it’s enclosure, ate a roach and then built its little dirt curtain. Now I haven’t seen in weeks. :) Kinda miss the little thing! At least I have a couple of terrestrial piglets that show themselves often.

This is not an old world tarantula. It’s new world, fyi.

Hmm, must be. Or maybe because I’m on my phone. It just shows

It’s smart to crush the head of the prey you feed your T. Less chance of your T getting injured. Also, worms will burrow and disappear.

Your pictures didn’t post.

This goes hand in hand with people calling their dog or cat their “children”. My cousin likes to treat her dog like the child she never had, and goes as far as to compare her dog to my child. If it heals her psychological regrets for never having kids, more power to her. Not my circus, man.

I used a nail to poke holes in mine. Easy.

This is all good to know. My B. albo never really hunts. When it was a sling the roach would crawl right into its burrow. Pretty much does the same thing now that he’s almost 4”. My C. versi only hunts at night so I never see it.

How do you feed your sling when they make a dirt curtain? Do you hold the prey by the entrance and see if the sling responds?

My new sling is making its rounds around the deli cup, putting its web everywhere. Also, while I was watching it, I blinked and the darn thing disappeared! I now know what you guys mean by saying they transport. Super exciting though. :)

Anyone who is passionate and knowledgeable about their T won’t handle them.

Dang that’s smart! I was having the same issue as OP but with red runners.

This is true, and I’m so glad I researched C. versi before I bought it. I was a little worried about keeping it alive, but after I read the correct information of care for them, I haven’t had any issues at all.

Haha I know, I was kidding. I never really used names for my two. I call one Spidey and the other one is little Spidey.

I thought about naming my T’s from their scientific names. my Brachypelma albopilosum would be Albie and my Caribena versicolor would be Carie. Naturally, you would call yours Pubes. Just an idea.
