If they are springtails you'd be stupid to rid yourself of them, aside from predatory mites and isopods these guys are great for mite provention/control. They will feed on much of the organic waste and mold in your enclosure and therefore compete with mites for food. Feel blessed you have been...

It may have been injured by the male while mating and you just didn't notice.

They will do worse, they will suspend waterbowls you thought they couldn't lift from webs over night, completely burry them, and web over them.. lol welcome to tarantulas they ALL seem to do something with their bowls. Just get used to having to deal with it, once its big there's no stopping it...

I would use a cork or a plastic flap or something, versi's have a strong tendancy to chew on foam parts of their enclosure. If you look in the pictures thread you'll notice a lot of people with exoterra's with the corners chewed out. If you invert a plastic drink dispenser you can use the nozzel...

Yeah you can, but T's generally don't like loose sub like chunks, its also not very absorbant in the chunk form, but b. vagans isn't a humidity lover so that should be okay. Just expect the spider to web up the enclosure like crazy, they tend to do that with looser substrate to make it more...

.... So her head is big? ._. poor momma shes got a tumor

B.vagans have a reputation for being skittish. Tarantulas really arn't a handling pet though, shouldn't matter one way or another.

Yo mammas opithsoma's soooooo big...

You'll wish that was all he did when he finally starts tipping over his water bowl and/or burying it. Both Brachys :burry theirs Rose hair: Rolls it around P. met: flips it OBT: Buries it IN his burrow >_> GBB: Hangs it 5 inches in the air from a branch...

When they see light they become possessed by the devil. Do not deprive them of their darkness! If you slip a black light or a dim redlight over a haplo tank and put it in your bedroom you can watch them excavate as you fall asleep. They do become pretty active in the middle of the night =P

Just leave them. If you really need to get them out you might be able to bait them out with some food or something. But if worst comes to worst and you end up having to destroy the web, spiders are industrious animals, it will be back up in a few days.

............ Its an Avic... they just run UP not very hard to catch. Idk whats with the crazy methods proposed here.. All you do is spook her a little, she runs up and into another cup which is higher UP than the previous container and when she's out you remove the spider. If your Avic is in...

Even if it was completely submerged I doubt it would drown, T's are pretty much water proof. A lot of my T's will just sprawl out flat in their water bowls, especially my p. metallica. And I think you meant Opithsoma, the lungs arn't on the prosoma, they're the four square lookin things just...

Its a defense thing, just wait till its bigger, you'll wish it didn't do that. I don't mind moving my old worlds much.. who if you read the bite reports can really mess you up for a bit with that nasty venom of theirs. Its my hair kickers I hate moving, it gets on your arms, face, in your nose...

Brachypelmas in general from what I understand tend to be skittish and mean. Thats the case with two of mine. The one Rob1985 (B.Vagans) has grown out of kicking hairs and just lunges at just about anything that moves in his tank (which made me fall inlove with the little guy!) and my new B...

If you get a set up too tall you risk a T falling and killing its self. But it just makes life easier IMO to have a set up closer to what the T will use than have a bunch of open ground and then a T in the corner.

Yeah, Rose hairs can sit there in the same spot and not move for weeks on end too, even rejecting food for up to a year, and unless you get an RCF or a PCF they seem pretty boring looking. But even compared to those there are so many much more attractive and just as easy to care for and more...

Green bottle blue: One of the prettiest tarantulas, very tame compared to most defensive tarantulas though it is fast and has a very strong feeding response so touching the web may result in an accidental bite. They are very active, always moving around and webbing things, they grow fast and can...

Can't say for sure, my Gbb is the only T out of all my T's who will touch the beetles. My G rosea PCF, P. metallica, A. metallica, OBT, and A. Versi will ignore them for months, even if they're starving. My Haplo will only strike at them if they go in the burrow but she won't actually eat...

Get what you like, honestly you'll get used to just about any spiders behavior as you go so long as you couple personal experience with some good research and a calm disposition. My first pokie was a p. metallica, I never had any issues with him/her, he escaped twice but I caught him, I've never...
