I'm sorry I can't give any pictures. Would premolt account for the shrinking?

No pesticides or room temperature it has been around 75 all year long. I'm sorry I have no ability to take pictures at this point. :/

I have a less than 3" A. Versicolor and over the past month she has been acting very odd. She has shrunk and hasn't eaten in 3 weeks. At first I thought she hadn't had enough water because every time I have shown her to her bowl she has drank from it but she doesn't respond to that any more. She...

How would you suggest moving her back to her inclosure then? When I moved her out of it i used a plastic spatula so it would be flat but now she will probably move...

My GBB started molting last night, this morning all her legs were out of her exoskeleton but the abdomen was still attached and was dragging the whole molt around. Very carefully and with a lot of time I was able to remove most of it, but there looks to be a cyst on the left side of the abdomen...

I'm doing a project on how tarantulas have adapted to their environment. Most of my examples have to do with creating burrows, in some cases camouflage, distinct vibrant colors to warn away predators but...I have yet to think of any predators other then maybe toads and centipedes. If anyone...

Mine is a sweat heart compared to what you guys are describing...course mine is very odd too. He is about...4.5in, always out of his hide, hasn't created a burrow in some time, doesn't eat much. He will throw a threat pose but never strikes and is a rock most of the time...i keep him in a moist...

thanks for the help guys. and cacoseraph, the slideshow is due tomorrow, though I would love to see a good presentation done by a group of guys who really know what they're talking about, so that my self and others, if the opportunity presents it self, could learn more about tarantulas and gain...

I'm doing a presentation about how tarantulas are viewed in society as 8 legged hair monsters who will rip your face off, and show that that "fact" isnt true. I'm doing research of my own but I'm not as experienced with tarantulas compared to most of the people on this board, and was wondering...
