    I spooked my sling while in the early stages of molting, and it refuses to resume. Advice?

    Everyone has pretty much said it all with regard to the visual appearance of your sling. I agree the sling looks like it has recently molted, not nearing a molt. However, I will add that I keep most of mine up on shelves and I have grabbed one down and opened it on accident while a T was on its...

    pulchripes growth - exactly how slow is "slow"?

    I have a G. Pulchripes I acquired in April of 2012 at .75 inches. Since then it has molted 3 times and now is nearly 2 inches. I keep my room at 77 degrees all year round. In comparison to all the other species I have at the same temp and conditions it molts slower and the size difference...

    green bottle blue care questions

    My gbb sling is always hidden and runs if I go in my t closet. I wouldn't worry about the hiding however, I am curious about this feeding flap cut in the lid of the container you mentioned, you are securing this food flap right? If not I would suggest a piece of tape or something, the little guy...

    Buried G. pulchripes

    Sounds like my Brachypelma albopilosum, thinking mine buried itself, hesitating to dig in there because it just molted not too long ago (2 weeks) and it has been known to come shooting out of a hole at rapid speed if disturbed!!! It has been buried the entire time I have owned it, however it...

    LP right for me?

    My first 4 T's were Lasiodora parahybana eggs with leg's if anyone could have killed one it would have been me. I knew absolutely nothing when I got them, not by choice mind you,I was just kind of thrown into the hobby. They are very hardy, grow exceptionally fast and eat like pigs, as said...

    Cat meows - Suggestions sought

    I understand not wanting to physically alter the animal, however it is for their benefit as well as yours. Spayed cats are less likely to develop breast cancer and will not be at risk for ovarian or uterine cancer.In addition to the many health benefits, spaying or neutering your cat ensures...

    Appropriate tank/terrarium/enclosure sizes?

    + 1 to everything said about enclosures and size. When I first started keeping T's I thought the same things about the size and what I thought was going to make my T "happy". I thought jeez they cannot be happy sitting in those deli cups, truth is they don't care. A place to hide, something to...

    And the Darwin Award almost goes to..

    Thats what I was thinking while watching, and honestly I am surprised he didn't get bit!! Youtube is flooded with tons of idiotic videos like this of kids and adults alike disrespectfully handling T's poking prodding and harassing them.... I think it is sad!

    Drinking T :-)

    My Lp slings have decided to dig all of a sudden, they dig the center out of their deli cups, bury the water dish and create such a thin ledge of sub around the entire enclosure I have to shove some dirt back in the caverns so I can put the dish back in.

    Drinking T :-)

    Just molted not too long ago, and she is an adult tarantula so I do not expect a molt anytime soon. I use ceramic planter saucers for my adult T's so it is a fairly decent size, no web or anything around it, I checked after the first time it emptied so fast. It happened again last night I filled...

    Here is a ventral, best I could do of the Poecilotheria rufilata we measured DSL of this little one was just under 1.5 inches. My camera for some reason will not let me zoom in super close....

    Drinking T :-)

    Not to thread hijack, but does anyone ever notice their T's chugging water??? I filled my cobalt's water dish last night, it was all gone this morning, I filled it again, we got back from being out of town and it was empty again... It usually takes more than a week to evaporate, so what does...
