Hi guys I have a B.Albopilosum and she has not fed for abut 2 months with mo signs of pre molt. Should I be worried or is this normal.
Not eating for 2 months isn't anything to worry about, I have an adult female A. chalcodes that hasn't eaten in nearly 8 months and I've had a 1.5" B. albiceps refuse food for about 5 months before, they can go a long time without food.Hi guys I have a B.Albopilosum and she has not fed for abut 2 months with mo signs of pre molt.

Any tarantula will fast if you cram enough food into it in a short space of time.A chalcodes normally have fasting periods, B albopilosum in my experience seldom have?

Can you provide pics of the tarantula and setup? Might help us better answer your question or give you pointers if anything is wrong.
This is her the person i got her off said she fed before i got her i have tried to feed her since but no luck. And she has not molted since i have had herFor specimens who refuse to eat, I top off their water dish and wait til next feeding.
If it helps, I have an AF Nicaraguan B. albopilosum that is almost at a year of refusing to eat, so two months is nothing at all.This is her the person i got her off said she fed before i got her i have tried to feed her since but no luck. And she has not molted since i have had her
Her abdomen is very plump so don't worry about her not eating, just make sure that she has a full water dish.This is her the person i got her off said she fed before i got her i have tried to feed her since but no luck. And she has not molted since i have had her
Do NOT measure humidity....its not relevant.That pic is an old one I have put her on a mix of Coco fiber and potting soil I change water every other day temp is at 25c and humidity is at 70%
Wrong button
Uh-oh. Depending on where you measure that humidity and how you achieve it that may be too much. B. albos just need a moist spot somewhere and not some specific humidity. Trying to reach these numbers more often than not result in enclosures that are too moist by far.humidity is at 70%
