    Difference between Selenocosmia crassipes v "kuttabul" locality?

    Just rehoused my S. crassipies and it looks like a sack mate to yours.

    Re using corkbark and other items.

    I’ll kick one spider out and move in another and don’t do any special cleaning whatsoever. Like a tarantula slum lord.

    New set-up infested with fungus gnats

    Why? The T doesn’t care one bit. Seems an odd reason to live with pest bugs. In less time that you have wasted here you could have swapped out the sub.

    Glue gun

    I’ve used hot melt glue in occupied enclosures no problem. Just spray some water on the glue to instantly cure it.

    Eating

    Not sure what a panama blonde is but I think it’s terrestrial. Might want to rethink that enclosure.

    My rescue tarantula won't eat anything except pinkies

    Pinkies? Sigh. Stop that. Feed bugs. Take a moth or so off feeding. Keep water available in a dish. If you can post some clear pics of the setup we can give specific advice. Tarantulas won’t starve for being picky eaters.

    Opinion On Handling Tarantulas?

    It’s dumb and only kids or buffoons do it. There are no pure evil or angelic tarantulas. Any tarantula can bite. Some can be quite chill and then become total dicks after a molt.

    New set-up infested with fungus gnats

    Seems like the OP is afraid to do the rehouse and wants some unknown quick fix. OP, you need to dry out the sub and use some traps in the meantime. google cider vinegar trap. A rehouse is the best, quickest way. I’d just bite the bullet and do a rehouse.

    Tarantula with 2 toes??

    Do they both move or does one just hang there? A video would be great to see. Oh, they are not toes...looks like two metatarsus.

    AB Pick My Next Tarantula!

    I want need to pick up another T or two. Help me decide! Two caveats: No urticating hairs, no pet holes. It would be nice if they were available and not some uber-rare species that I have no hope to get. Money no object. Whatever you all recommend I will get and post unboxing pics and periodic...

    Hello everyone!

    Bigger isn't always better. If you post pics of the entire enclosure you are using and/or thinking of using, we can give you some tips.

    How to remove crickets from hide ?

    Do what I said and take that thing out of there. T enclosures should have no real smell.

    Ongoing long term project

    Label the damn things, sheesh! What will happen if you get hit by a bus and someone needs to come in there and do something with all those T's? You may be OK with it, but that poor sap (or saps) will have a hell of a time trying to figure it all out. Not to mention if the police/fire dept ever...

    Need more info for sling care.

    I have a blunt-tipped syringe that I use for spot watering. Sometimes slings ignore the water dish, sometimes I don't even use a water dish.
