Back in March(ish), 2019, my daughter asked me to buy her a tarantula. I found this board and we ended up with a Brachypelma albopilosum (yes, now a Tliltocatl albopilousis). June 22, 2019 I came here to post my newbie enthusiasm about his first molt. Only to quickly learn how to identify an...

He really and it's crazy. It was my first T prior to coming to this board. I bought it at a pet store (didn't know any better) and it molted a couple months after bringing it home. I came here to whine about having a MM. So, I bought a bunch more because I knew this one was going to die...

So I posted this guy way back on page 11 in 2019 lol. He molted June 22, 2019 so he's about to hit his four year anniversary. And he is still alive and kicking!

I actually haven't yet and that is what I've been doing. But today i got everything transferred over except that one app. My smartphone is old (Samsung S9) and the trade in is only $65 so my husband keeps saying, "Would you buy that app for $60? If yes, then keep it." But, the answer is...

You have no idea. It was a moment of stupidity. LOL Thanks all. I'm going to miss my app. :bigtears:

I just got a new phone and I'm going android to iPhone so some of my apps didn't translate. I'm trying to find the Tarantulas app. I know there was a newer one, but I don't remember the name. I never figured out how to transfer the data over so I deleted it, but now I have nothing. Help?

I'm fairly beginnerish and I would take a slow hair kicker over a fast T any day. It is no big deal until it is time to rehouse. Mine have given me a run and none of mine are "fast" per se. They are fast to me though. If mine are not fast I cannot comprehend fast lol. I was concerned about the...

Dying to know because I really think @Edan bandoot is correct unfortunately.

I read the same! I thought maybe it was related to @Smotzer 's 2 year old Versiberry. @obseletepetite did you get it online? If so, can you PM me (dont post it here) <edit>.

Correction: at the tarantula's risk. But really, people are going to do what they are going to do because everyone knows better and it won't happen to them. Until it does.

I'm sorry for your loss. Mine passed away recently as well for absolutely no reason that I can tell. I think it was a failed molt. I'm heartbroken with you. :sad:

I've had mine for two years this month. It was a little under 2" and now it's at least 6". He started in a 4x4x6in and then moved to the small Kritter Keeper and I currently have it in an 8x8x14in (4gal) which is fine for him (her?) because he mostly stays in his burrow and doesn't seem to...

I have found that the pinhead crickets don't outgrow the slings at all. That's because they die faster than I can feed them. So "yeah that" to all that said mealworms. They are SO much easier for slings.

Remember this guy? This is my 4"(ish) G. pulchra that, up until now, was completely brown and showing no signs of changing to black (orig pic in comments). Looks like she's just a late bloomer because I came back from vacation to find she had ditched her brown coat and put on her silky black one.

If I'm not mistaken, The Cyriocosmus elegans is a new world (Trinidad) dwarf. Mine never ever kicked at me. She much preferred to just run down into her burrow. That doesn't mean they don't kick hair around their enclosure though so it's possible to still be sensitive if you don't wear...

Oh my gosh I love this one!! Almost looks like a stuff animal it's so fuzzy and chunky monkey. Love i!!

Right, I got that one. What's a Brazilian blue and how does it relate to an A. genic?

All of this. I was new when I got mine and my worry with him was rehousing because he's so fast. However, this guy wasn't bad at all. I cupped him and transferred him with no trouble. I love how fast they grow because I started with a tiny little thing and now it looks like @Dorifto's...

Kinda, but no. A terrestrial can exhibit fossorial traits and fossorials can exhibit terrestrial traits, but terrestrials can't BE fossorial and fossorials can't BE terrestrial. M. robustum is fossorial. Deep, damp substrate and it will be happy. Mine also hangs out on the surface overnight...
