My Eu sp. red eats like a pig. I guess I got lucky. It is still tiny and my only one that small so it occasionally gets a cricket that is a little 'too big' for it but within a few moments it has tackled it, never refused a meal in the last 4ish months I've had it and has molted twice.

My 4th grade teacher had many classroom pets including a rose hair and I was the only one in the class that was brave enough to help take care of it. When she wanted a family to take care of it over summer break I asked my mom and for several months we were T caretakers. After that I didn't get...

My LP sling and my P. metallica sling both molted and both nommed their molts, so no sexing this time.

My GBB rescue girl was feeling very bold and let me test out my new camera on her. She's currently being treated for her ridiculous mite infestation (and in quarantine of course) with predator mites. They are working, although slightly slower than I'd prefer, in the last few days she has had a...

I'm not really concerned, just curious. Like I said I wasn't overly optimistic it would eat this week with their reputation and the recent move. I wish I could take video of the behavior but it's too little and my camera does a poor job at macro in video capacity. I've seen a few others feel for...

Last week I picked up a tiny Eu. sp. Red sling after reading so many good things about them here. Today was the first time I tried to feed it. I've read they can be picky eaters and sometimes food needs to be pre-killed. However this one, instead of being timid seems to be stalking this pinhead...

I have an itty bitty sling of this species (maybe 1/8") in a vial almost full of substrate and that little one loves to dig! It is constantly remaking tunnels around the perimeter of it's vial that look similar to an ant farm, with many tunnels interconnecting. Super interesting to watch and...

Mine is about the same size as yours, OP, and it is mostly brown, when lighted properly it has visible blue, particularly under it's legs. I am under the impression they are not vivid for a few more inches yet.

Thanks for the heads up and lots of good info in the video.

Lovely spiders. Love those P. Irminia!

My girl is an odd one in that she doesn't do a lot of webbing, and is out often. I normally know she's in premolt when she starts making a nice web to molt in, and retreating to it. I believe last time she molted she went off food for a few weeks before hand.

WOW! I've never seen such a vibrant rosie. Lovely.

I recently found myself in possession of an adult female GBB, and she's quite the character. She is often out and about, rearranging her tank and webbing it up. She almost seems to be the opposite of photosensitive in that she comes out of her hide in the morning when I turn on the room light...

I'm spider sitting for my friend's G. rosea for a few weeks, she's a pretty little thing. I believe she's was a Petco purchase, but a nice looking one. I've never had much interest in them, this one is rather skittish but sweet and perfect for my friend who enjoys her pet rock. And...

When my smithi was a small sling it ate fairly quickly after molting, until it suddenly didn't. When she was about 2" DLS she started not accepting a cricket for about a month after a molt, and about the same amount for pre-molt. She was always fine. I don't think it is anything to worry about...

Adult female C. fasciatum Love this girl's metallic looking carapace. She'd been webbed up in her hide for the last few weeks, I thought she might be getting ready for a molt but it seems like she was just feeling anti-social.

Neither my H. mac or my A. metallica web all that much, although the metallica might still be settling in to her new enclosure. My A. amazonica sling, on the other hand, seems to have made it's life goal to turn it's enclosure entirely white.

I finally got around to re-hosing my sub-adult H. Mac female "Tenzin" today. She came to me in a kritter keeper months ago and I've been meaning to move her since they're not exactly the most secure thing in the world (and ugly). I finally got a nano exo-terra tall set up for her and planted so...

My adult female is a glutton. She'll eat as often as I throw something her way. She's not a kicker so her pre-molt signs are subtle, she ate a few days before molting. It's possible yours is also being sneaky about pre-molt in conjunction with not settling in yet. Mine is one of my favorites...

They really are fast. My P. murinus girl is the only one of my T's I would consider aggressive rather than defensive, she's got a lot of personality. I'm pretty sure if she got out she would take over the world through sheer tenacity. She is also my only T housed in a non-display tank because...
