Beautiful! It looks big enouh to sex too, so I you were curious to know it's gender you could put her on a sheet or glass or an empty tank and take a pic of itsunderside :)

My mother hates tarantulas so much, she won't even let me buy one! I am 18 and I'll just need to get my own place in order to own any... Too bad I'm a full time student with a low paying job :(

For example my house is currently at 67F. Which is pretty average, BUT my room is probably 5F colder than the house.... I guess Ill have to go buy a thermometer for my room and then see how warm/cold it gets. Ive taken a space heater into account, but I'm not sure if itll be overkill since I'd...

I want to get my first tarantula, but I was thinking of getting a versicolor sling. I understand how to care for them and everything- but I have one major concern: Temperature! I know I need to keep the sling inside a very small enclousure, which will be very prone to temperature changes...

I did want an avic.... What are easier to keep in your guys' opinion? terrestrials or arboreals?

not as colorful as I was hoping :(

Hello, I am still in the process of convincing my family to let me get a tarantula. But even if I can convince them, I'm not sure which one to get! I am not necessarily "new" to Tarantulas, since I have been browsing the forums here for quite some time now, but I have never owned one before...

wow, I didnt know that either... I knew they were sensory but wow, lots of new info!

yeah, she most likely is a grass spider, she has webbed up the majority of the container, making an interesting web tunnel that she travels through... although every insect I put in there, she takes either no interest in, or flees from it when it gets near... ive tried earwigs, a very small...

Yea, makes sense. Im from california, and the solifugids we have here are very small and dont get to be more than an inch of so- they also only have 8 legs. This species we are talking about is huuuge, so the extra two legs definitley serve another function... most likely sensory.. maybe balance...

well lets see if you can count ;) cus I see 10 legs in this picture here.

Traps are cool spiders in the sense that they look epic and that they make trap doors thus snatching their unsuspecting prey. The only pain in the ayyyuss about traps are that: A) Youll never see them except for the 1/2 second that they snatch their food. B) You can never touch the...

if you keep two together, they more than likely wont kill eachother, but will be extremely skiddish, scared and paranoid that there is another spider in the same territory. Its best to keep them seperate, since stress can cause death in spiders and dont worry, these spiders do very well in...

Hey there, I live in OC california and I have a fascination with spiders, as well as many other insects. I was out near the front of my house doing some yard work, when I came across some very interesting spiders. Some of which are very common (At least around my home) Here are the pics...

Im just now realizing that solifugids have 10 legs... hahahaha

yep, both wolfspiders :) The first pic indeed is carrying its young. the second looks like a possible male. They make great captives, you can keep them in a critter keeper and feed them any insects you come across in your house! Relocating them to the garden is also a good idea too

they are both the same spider, the first pic is carryings its young! (IDK if anyone else saw that haha)

Its a little dark in the picture so I cant really see if it has any distinguished markings, but just from how its outline looks Im almost positive that its a wolf spider. Theyre pretty common in houses, especially on walls haha. They make fun captives, just feed it any other bugs you find...

for that particular spider, I have no clue..
