Crickets, man. I've had just a head start running away before, after I'd cut one up. Their shenanigans are endless.

Oh, I had this exact experience! My first tarantula (G. rosea) had eight healthy, full-sized limbs prior to a molt, and then came out with one thin back leg that looked exactly like that. There was no discernible issue with the molting process, which I would monitor the whole time back in my...

I've had a few voracious slings that were like that, and my G. pulchra was the hungriest of them, to my initial surprise. There wasn't a time that they would turn down a meal, which has held true as they've grown up.

Just coco fiber. I've only had a few burrowers, but they were able to burrow with ease.

Can't speak on the specific substrate you bought, but I use coco fiber for all of my tarantulas.

Timber, little Aphonopelma hentzi molted early this morning. Haven't disturbed them to get a good look at them yet.

Immediately after I turned 18, five years ago. I'd been waiting for seven years and spared no effort making up for lost time.

I had wondered, but it seems that they raised them from a sling and didn't like to bother them much. Maybe they weren't able to sex the molts for some reason, I can't be certain. They were the one that they were not looking forward to trying to pack and ship, which is why I made sure to arrange...

Young sub adult M. balfouri, new addition. I'm enchanted.

It's not something that I do, just something I remember someone saying.

That was what I was thinking/dreading. They're incredibly settled into their containers and they'll have to redo the evident work that they've put into these. It would be a nice opportunity to put some of them into new housing though and actually take a look at a couple. I can't remotely see...

Unfortunately I've just noticed some tiny mites (a quick guess) crawling on the outsides of some of the containers from the second seller, as well as a few tiny flies inside of a few. The containers are very clearly lived in and judging from their labels, the tarantulas may have been in these...

It doesn't seem like it. The thought had crossed my mind but I thought that she might have dropped a second one by now if that were the case. I'm not an expert on the matter, however, and they've done stranger things. Anything is possible as far as I'm concerned. I'm an avid lover of all "ugly"...

Word from the seller: "No. She's not gravid. Just a big butt. She had a sac already about 9 months ago."

I know! One species that I didn't have an intention to breed! If that is the case, however, I would accept the challenge. Considering that they were pretty meticulous with the breeding dates and sac details on some of the other containers, I'd think this one would have had something on it if...

Not good ones by any means, but here are some quick pictures as I went along and checked everyone out! Not everyone is included, as some are duplicates of the same specie or were too hidden in their homes. There are lots of labels all over each of the containers from the second seller...

Well, they just arrived!! Holy moly! A few don't have enclosures and I'll have to properly house. It seems like the second seller also threw in three of the tarantulas that we had excluded while we were haggling. So I got one unsexed Pelinobius muticus and two mature female Ceratogyrus darlingi...

Oh my goodness, really? That's so neat! I couldn't think of who it was, but I'm slowly starting to remember people that I briefly knew in the area. I'm in Bend, but I have definitely connected with a few people in other parts of the CO area through online groups. I moved into a spacious...

My local Craigslist isn't very fruitful, but that's why I check the more populated cities when I know I'll be passing through or if I have friends in the area. Hence these ones being four hours away. The best local deal that I found was an adult female Brachypelma smithi in her furnished 10...
