    Handling a tarantula that isn't used to being handled to clean a cage.

    After viewing your pictures, my primary concern is honestly the height of the enclosure. It looks like it could be a pretty long fall if the T goes off exploring for any reason. Everything else has already been said by some pretty senior members. Next time, I'd recommend using way more...

    Should I freeze him? DKS

    This. A lot of people don't really know what DKS is or looks like.. In the end of the day it could be anything. If you freeze your tarantula, your eliminating any chance of recovery.

    How long to wait before feeding

    Let them settle in. Then feed them. This could take from a few hours, to even months. I usually wait for them to start webbing/get out of a constant stress ball to feed them.

    Looking to buy a sling!! Help!

    What's this A.avics size? Honestly, the best choice would be to go to Jamies online store and just buy one of her versi color slings. A versi was the third spider I bought. I had it living in an enclosure with not so great ventilation for a while, and it didn't die. People don't give this...

    Are Little Pet Shops(TM) all that bad?

    I support online breeders when it comes to most of my purchases. But I will occasionally help my privately owned local pet store. I want to help small business, and I want to promote the correct husbandry of arachnids and insects. If I want more bang for my buck, online breeders are the way...

    Chaco Gold knee (G Pulchripes) dormant in winter- nocturnal?

    Sounds like a normal Grammostola and burrower honestly. Grammostola are slow growers, at that size, you shouldn't be expecting molts that often. And burrowers sometimes just like to close up their burrows and relax for a bit. Sounds like everything is perfectly normal, and you have nothing to...

    I love T's at that size. Not too big, not too small. Just so damn adorable!!

    How long do I leave her?

    Pictures would be very helpful. That being said, the usual rule is to leave the T alone until it starts to stink. But again, pictures could be very helpful in this situation.

    Newbie here, Just got a Grammostola Pulchripes

    Are you guys honestly shrugging off handling an OBT that easily? It's an OBT.. ORANGE BITEY THING. No. Don't handle it at all. An OBT is a "look, don't touch" pet

    Comment by 'Billeh' in media 'Chilean Or Gold knee?'

    Not a gold knee (Grammostola pulchripes), I'm also leaning heavily on Grammostola rosea. I hope you didn't pay more than 20$ for it

    Finally got my first T !

    Read everything Stan wrote and be thankful! I never got a welcome from Stan, and you have no idea how long it took for me to right all my wrongs by just learning by myself little by little. Fun experience, but I felt bad for my T once I realized how wrong everything was. Also, don't worry about...

    Worried about Sling not eating

    Pictures could help us a lot more than you think lol. The prey that you offer should be around the size of it's carapace, and if it seems to be "scared" of the prey, I find that a good option for slings is prekilled. Pop the head of that worm/cricket, and leave it there for 12-24 hours, and...
