If you think so. I feel like I mistreated it, I can't shake that feeling.

Attached are pictures from today. I was using this post. https://thebugchicks.com/articles/arthropods/tarantula-icu#:~:text=You%20place%20paper%20towels%2C%20saturated,to%20drown%3B%20it's%20to%20revive. I normally don't have the enclosure sealed. I only did it recently as sort of...

In the last month, I have put my pink toe in ICU care. The abdomen was shriveled. It seemed to recover some, but wouldn't eat even with a cricket in the same spot. Ts abdomen returned to normal size, but still wasn't eating. I took it out of the ICU and placed it back in its enclosure several...

Well, I think my T ate something at the least. Abdomen looks a little bit bigger. Spring tails seem to be out in full force on the corpses. So that's good. I think I may have fungus gnats again, but these critters seem a bit bigger, and only want to hop from spot to spot. Any idea what those...

Wow more responses than expected. @moricollins Yes it is a 2nd floor apartment with a deck. @Dorifto I mist once or every other day. There is a fan in front of the enclosure, I have the deck window open, and I have a ceiling fan in the kitchen spinning all the time. So it rarely gets all that...

From the side. You might be right @DaveM @viper69 I've been combing the net and asking in-store if I have too much lighting. Twin Cities reptiles says no light, internet has them swimming on water in the light sooo. Blargh what is correct? Are there actual scientific sources on Tarantula I...

A year a go I posted an exo enclosure with an attempted setup for what I thought would be good for it. Fast forward to this year, I decided to try out doing a bioactive setup. At first PT seemed happy exploring my planted lucky bamboo and pathos plants in the enclosure and eating. As this summer...

Just did now at your suggestions. Draft of anchor points is taped right now at the top, T really likes that corner though. I'll post my draft setup later this evening.

I was going to redo it, but the Pink Toe decided to molt instead. I think as of Wednesday or Thursday last week. Got plenty of water for it, when it needs to come down. Fangs aren't totally black yet. So I'm guessing I'll have to wait on feeding for a week or two right? Plan will be to setup...

I made some re-adjustments and cleared the bottom leaf clutter. I think the T would really appreciate a flatter piece of log wood though. Paper towel cardboard roll may be another option too. Earlier last week, I discovered the cup did not have water. Even when I thought it did. Yes I know the...

I may go with the acrylic drill option, because that looks easier to me. Mine hasn't really bothered to touch the mesh much, but I have seen the risk. Any risk to Ts with midwest trees/wood? I remember something about cedar or another plant being harmful to them. You'll see I removed the foam...

Ah well then, I'll take your advice best I can. It is this one linked below, which I saw for approval elsewhere in the forum. It has slits on the side door for breathing holes, and then yes the wire mesh up top. So goal should be, clear out some space, get a smooth ish piece of wood, and put...

Hello all, I've been lurking these forums for a good month or so now, dating to the posts back to 2007 on some really good care threads. Which includes the beginners care big post. I've done what I think would be best for my pink toe. Substrate is a dry mix with some dirt from outback. I took...
