premolt or not? i could really do with an answer because i dont want to keep disturbing her with a locust. thanks

My female t.stirmi has a small dark patch on her abdomen and is not eating does this mean she is in premolt?

Does it look to you guys like my Stirmi is in premolt? She is refusing to eat her cricket and shes usually a very aggressive eater.

It seems she wasnt digging, just chillin there. Im going to wait til morning to remove the rock instead of poking her out of the way as i see no immediate danger of her getting squished :)

Yeah your right thanks for your input

Yeaa... might have to take it out :| Just afraid she will freak out if i ruin her digging

My T.Stirmi looks like its making a burrow by this big rock, im worried she will dig too far and the rock will fall in on her because its not on the bottom of the tank its just placed on the substrate, ive thought about removing the rock but im worried it might freak her out? What do you guys...

Its "Pamphobeteus platyomma" according to google :P

the legs look like those in pictures of "wet molts" ive seen, not sure though + sorry for your loss :-(

Not happy about the water bowl being filled.

^Yeah i will keep you informed on how she grows/molts, shes just exploring the tank at the moment. Fingers crossed she will be ok and live a long and happy life! + Thanks for the support :)

ahh i see thanks alot ill try this :)

Haha ok thanks i didnt see you were joking and no i didnt pick the Theraphosa as my 1st turantula, i had a Chilean rose but ive passed it on to my brother as he really liked it, so ive got a t.stirmi now she seems to be alright at the moment just settling in to the new tank :)

Is this hide suitable for my T.stirmi? its a medium sized plant pot with a section cut out, the substrate is 6 inches tall to allow room for burying im just wondering if its suitable or should i change for a cork bark tube (when i find one)? any suggestions are welcomed, thanks. pictures:

^ confused on how to react, im 17 years old and i have my tarantula is my bedroom as a pet, i dont have tarantulas in the hundreds i just want to look after one, so please stop laughing and make sure you stay on your chair :-D

Yeah the heat-mats dont get "hot" they are just warm, you can hold them to your face without any discomfort, i dont see them doing alot of damage.

nice colourful collection :)

Matilda the Burgundy Goliath bird eater (Theraphosa stirmi) Please excuse the quality of the images, blackberrys dont have the best cameras. Will put more as she grows and molts!

How can i make sure of this? put my hand in and feel the sides of the tank?
