Absolutely love those colors. She's a stunner

Possibly find him a female to breed with. We need more of these in Europe anyways.

Let me introduce to you my unique Grammostola pulchra. Now she identifies as an arboreal tarantula.

Apparently she's arboreal now.

I wouldn't worry about that. Tarantulas can have bad molts at any time for no particular reason, what's important is it will regrow lost part of leg. Don't worry. I had my C. versicolor sling lose a leg during molt and years later I still don't think I should've done anything differently.

I recommend you check out Tom Moran's video of O. violaceopes (ex. L. violaceopes) rehouse. He had A huge box prepared with lots of towels and stuff around in case of tarantula trying to run away. They will usually try to hide under something and that thing seems to work well when things go...

After sorting out all those myths they are super easy to take care of.

Don't worry, it has cork bark which I gently removed to snap a quick pic :)

Freshly molted, most likely a male. I can't believe how fast they grow. He was so tiny when I got him in September.

Like @Konstantin Konstantinov already pointed out, feeding any tarantula every 2 days is an overkill. For slings feeding once or twice a week is enough. At this point your tarantula might have filled up its belly and decided it doesn't want to eat anymore. Other option is premolt. After...

Whole enclosure is 20x20x20cm. Currently I have my female X. immanis inside. I'll send you more information in message, I don't want to make it messy here.

Do you know what type of glass did they give you price for? What we use in Poland is the cheapest float type glass that's . We don't really do anything with it, except for making sure the edges can't cut fingers but that can be done at home. In Europe most commonly used is 4mm thick glass. I...

I changed design a bit since cutting out rectangles in glass is rather expensive. I went for a small piece of acrylic with holes cut out between two pieces of glass. I had to use some sort of frame between those as silicone won't keep glass and acrylic together. Anyways, I made the prototype...

Psalmopoeus irminia, tried sexing its molt and I'm leaning towards male.

My small M. mesomelas molted last night, I snatched it's molt to sex it properly and I'm 90% sure it's a female.

You could go for European style of glass enclosures and have front door opening a guillotine style.

Today I spent some quality time with my A. chalcodes watching her bring tons of dirt out of her fresh burrow. Also, my C. cyaneopubescens decided to make new hide next to door of her enclosure. She made it nice and cozy, webbed up perimeter, then left it and now she's roaming enclosure again...

You are ready when you think you are. No need for validation of others. Handling - simply better not to do it. You introduce your tarantula to unknown environment and you never know how it's going to react. It could fall on its own or it could be your own reaction due to it running or...

Best thing you can do is to give your OBT options. Provide lots of substrate with premade burrow and also give anchor points in case it didn't actually want to burrow.

I use mix of sedge peat, spider bedding from habistat and coco fiber. Works fine for me and keeps moisture when it has to.
