    Yes, if you use soil make sure it doesn't have any fertilizers or other chemicals in it.

    Harassment for being in this hobby??? Tell your story

    Pretty sure we all do to some degree. But it helps weed out those who aren't worth our time.

    Substrate gaining mold HELP

    DO NOT EMPTY THE WATER DISH Humidity alone is not enough for a tarantula, they need water. Slings get most of the liquids they need from their prey, but larger ones NEED a source of hydration. Keep water in the dish. Maybe not as much and definitely do not overflow it, but most certainly...

    Sounds like there are a few problems going on. Just make it easier for the rest of us and put up a picture so we can see what you are working with.

    how many slings do I have to buy to get a male?

    Well, since most people want females because they live longer, if they only get 1 of a species, it is usually male lol Some people get multiples and they always turn out male, and some always turn out female. Yes, the more slings you buy, the better the odds of getting the desired sex, but it's...

    Heat lamps vs heating pads

    What species do you have right now? Also, if you are directing the heat lamp at the current enclosures, stop immediately. If you have it aimed elsewhere and are using it to heat the ambient air of the closet (pretty much what a space heater does), you should be fine. You don't want to heat...

    Failure to thrive?

    Keep feeding and caring for them. Also remember that females will not grow at the same rate as males. Plus each T is unique, some just grow slower than others. Also could be a genetic factor. That's why there are so many eggs in each sac, some just die off and there is nothing you can do. Sent...

    Worried about my*Euathlus sp. Red

    Setup looks fine, but I would put ventilation holes around the side. Cross - ventilation is better than just top ventilation. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Worried about my*Euathlus sp. Red

    If it is really damp, then I would switch it out. But any new coco fiber should be moistened first or else it is really "fluffy" to start. Either way the sub will be moist for a bit. If the current sub is only moist, then I would just let it dry on it's own Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Newbie Questions: Am I over thinking temperature and humidity?

    Yes, you are over-thinking. Just keep the T's at room temp and keep the water dish full. If you want higher humidity, just overflow the water dish. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    How do i tell if my tarantula's enclosure has good humidity?

    What species are we talking about? Unless it is a swamp dweller, a full water dish should suffice for maintaining humidity as well as allowing it to drink. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Care information help?

    Are you going to let the customers know what they are getting into with the species they want or just sell them to whoever wants them because that's what makes money? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    What could have happened..

    Some times animals just die. That is why spiders, frogs, and numerous other animals reproduce in such high numbers; because of the mortality rate. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
