    State of the Hobby?

    I've been out of the Tarantula game for a number of years. Due to being stuck at home for the better part of 2020 I purchased a new group of slings! Only one large mature female B. Smithi remains from my last collection, since the rest of the slings all molted out male. Since I'm now older and...

    Why Higher male to female ratio??

    Your results could be skewed if you're buying the larger options online. If different sizes of a particular species (say 1/4" and 1/2") are for sale, always go for the smaller ones. They're most likely to come from the same egg sac. The smaller ones will most likely be females since females...

    I got some good tarantula sexing pics, thought I'd share! (my first exuvium attempt)

    I just got a couple good pictures, this is my first exuvium sexing! I happen to get a perfect intact molt, and thought it would be interesting to share. I think its a pretty obvious female.

    My G. porteri roommate had babies.

    I lost a couple superworms in one of my tanks. A few months later I had beetles crawling around torturing my G Rosea. lol

    Friend sent me a E. murinus for Christmas, received a hooked out MM

    You know what, I was skeptical too. It was climbing around on the top of the enclosure and has foot pads like an aborial.. What the hell is it then

    Just a heads up for those that aren't aware, you probably shouldn't order anything from <edit>. I still love it, but they advertised it as female with the stipulation "no guarantees". They obviously didn't even look at it then lol. Here's a picture of the cutie

    Molting party!!

    When one tarantula in my collection molts, I know all of the others are about to molt too. They always molt within a few days of one another. I got them all from different places, they're all different sizes, and different species but still molt at roughly the same time.

    Decided to try ordering online for the first time, probably won't do it again. Help

    I bought a flightless fruit fly colony for it. I don't think its settled in enough yet to be interested in food. I might throw in a small cricket leg and see if it scavenges.

    Ridiculous growth spurt (with pics)

    This G. Poteri was my very first tarantula. I've probably been collecting for over a year now. A few days ago I was walking by its enclosure and noticed it was bigger. Orders of magnitude bigger. Ever since then it's been laying in weird positions, and doing some unusual stuff. It's been acting...

    I felt bad, but I just sent an e-mail. I'm not mad or anything, just a little disappointed. Why me? lol I'm still trying to keep it alive if there's even any life left in the poor thing. How wet should the ICU be?
