Out of the hide and looking good! ^_^

Crickets. I only have one T, so I just pick up a couple at the pet shop every other week. She seems fine, even a little fat!

Love Exotics Lair (entertaining and occasionally informative, has a cool collection), TarantulaKat (seems very nice, definitely knows her stuff, and pretty too, plus has a fun relationship with her Ts like EL does), and The Dark Den.

All lovely! ^_^ And all great names (I think Fresca is my favorite name of the lot though)

I have yet to see Sif do that! They do have such cute feet though!

Cool!

Haha. Well, I AM new to this and thought it was one of those things where some did it and some didn’t. I didn’t know it was practically universal.

Yes! Jaime is awesome! ^_^

My Sif has a mythological name too. She’s an a. chalcodes and named after the Norse goddess of Earth who was the wife of Thor and famous for her golden hair. ^_^

All great info! Thanks, everyone!

Fat-bottom girl!

Thanks for the info! This is a ZooMed intended for terrestrial tarantulas and other burrowing animals, but I’ll definitely add some substrate and pack it better.

Angles are a tricky thing.

Maybe it’s best then to see if she settles in and turns one of those hides into her main burrow/home and also observe and make sure she’s not trying any climbing that could get her injured or worse. Better view of the amount of substrate.

There are no bottoms to the hides. They’re more dome-like. ^_^ But you think she needs more substrate and possibly a different enclosure lid? She doesn’t like to climb much, and has about 4 inches of substrate. Think more would be best? Thanks for the good wishes!

I don’t know when she moulted last (have only had her under a month!). Good to know she seems ok.... She’s my first T and I already love her to bits, so naturally I’m maybe a bit overworried for her health.

Sif’s joints look weird. Is she about to molt or something? She’s an a. chalcodes.

This is my first T (an A. Chalcodes named Sif) in her new enclosure! Think it’ll be good for her?

Haha. They are funny alien critters indeed. ^_^ Looking forward to the ride as a new owner!

I’ve seen it in described and shown in videos on YouTube, but it’s fun to have seen it in person. :) Didn’t know it was so common. I’m a newbie so please forgive the ignorance.
