    Do tarantulas practice molting?

    Yes, the tarantula was just being weird I guess. It was not moving much or just being weird for a few more weeks then it finally molted!. It is a big fat boy/female

    Another noob question

    Sorry for another question about "is the tarantula in pre moult?" Question. I have this Monocentropus balfouri sling and it ate for a few meals then has not ate in 2 weeks I think. It's not very active but it is still able to climb walls and all. No matter what size prey or if it is alive or...

    Most active Ts?

    I have a grammostola actaeon and it's pretty active. It's constantly moving dirt around and making the place more homey. And I have a Chilobrachys Sp. Electric Blue and it's my second most active until recently (think it is in premolt). It's constantly working on its dirt tunnel.

    Looking for a dry climate T

    I got a grammostola actaeon tarantula and I keep it in dry substrate with a water dish. It's quite active and built a "tarantula" made canyon around it's hole and has a great personality. It's pretty fast though haha.

    Is tarantula dead

    Thanks. And I definitely won't go back to that site. The other two I've been going to have been great. You do have valid points about the mature male aspect. Thanks for the info. If you have time in the future I would like to bounce some questions/opinions off you if you don't mind. You can so...

    Is tarantula dead

    I mean it's a lesson learned. I wasn't aware that they go for pennies on a dollar. But getting upset isn't going to fix the issue. It's the cost of learning. Also, I wasn't looking for a female in particular. Just the experience/practice with them.

    Is tarantula dead

    1. It's a Heteroscodra maculata (Togo starburst babboon) and it wasn't too expensive in comparison to smaller tarantulas. Only hurts with shipping costing so much. 3. Usually I do. I was shopping around for a somewhat not too small arborial oldworld and unfortunately this specific site was the...

    Is tarantula dead

    1. No it was just a 3+ inch tarantula unsexed. 2. The only thing I would consider a move would be when I lefted the leg and it slowly went back down to where it was. But that could have been gravity. 3. I contacted the seller after I got a few responses that somewhat confirmed my fears and he is...

    Is tarantula dead

    Yeah. It was weird. The temp was around 33 degrees out and there was a heat pack and the container felt warm. I tried that paint brush method and nothing. Just as a side note, I have received tarantulas when it was colder and the wet napkin was kinda cold and they are still alive now.

    Is tarantula dead

    I got a tarantula in the mail yesterday. The return policy for this site is within 4 hours. I responded and they said to let them know if anything changes in the next 24 hours. The tarantula looks healthy but it's legs are all above it's head/abdomen and has not moved in 26 hours. I heard that...

    Do tarantulas practice molting?

    I like ur theory better. Haha works out for me. Update. One week since it's failed attempt. It has been acting weird as seen in the pic. It's like this or a variation of this all day then moves somewhere and does this.

    Do tarantulas practice molting?

    Do you Know if it will try again if it didn't do it very well the first time? Like sooner rather than later? May be a stupid question. For example. If it couldn't do it one day, so it tries again the next or will it wait a few days.

    Do tarantulas practice molting?

    So my GBB was on its back for 6 hours that I know of. I went up to check on it and it was back on it's feet like nothing happened and looked the same. Besides giving my false hope, do tarantulas go on there back to practice for the big day or what?
