Avicularia sp have type 2 urticating hairs, meaning they can't flick them at you, but coat their webbing and annoying keeper hands with.
*Writes down.*Brachypelma albopilosum and vagans appreciate some humidity. Around the level of a Lasiodora. Unlike the other brachys. Aphonopelma seemani also like some moisture. And will burrow if given the chance.
So for slings less than 1” Lasiodora difficilis, and Brachypelma albopilosum, beside having small water dishes, will a gentle sprinkle on a side of the enclosure once a week do?Brachypelma albopilosum and vagans appreciate some humidity.

Keep them moist. I heavily overflow the dish weekly to biweekly for my Lasiodora and albos. Depending on how much the heaters running.So for slings less than 1” Lasiodora difficilis, and Brachypelma albopilosum, beside having small water dishes, will a gentle sprinkle on a side of the enclosure once a week do?
Blankets are insulation. They keep in heat. Tarantulas don't produce their own heat. That blanket does nothing but restrict ventilationRoger.
I keep them in a room tempture with the blanket over tarantula enclosures at night, without a heater (I don’t see a need just yet)

HEY! Stop the name calling...hydrophobic...sheesh.Their setae is hydrophobic, meaning they can float atop water. They also can swim, and the way they move their legs while swimming is different than the way they move their legs to walk.
Also they like sweet bass tunes and Reiki.
I was wondering about this honestly, and now I have the answer!Arboreals will do perfectly fine in cages longer than they are tall. If the height is adequate, length and width don't matter.
Well neither do I. Okay, there WAS that time at the party, but we had ordered a lot of Taco Bell earlier and the host's bathroom was occupied and they had a cat......and you know what, nevermind!You can to an extent, they have limited capability for problem-solving and memory but, yeah, they're not a dog or cat, they're not going to come when called or poop in a litter tray or anything like that.
Wha...??? You burned a molt/molts ? Why ?Tarantula molts produce a foul smelling thick smoke when burned. Similar to what you would expect from a certain popular plant..
Cause I ran out of easy facts.Wha...??? You burned a molt/molts ? Why ?
You can sex them via moult. Females will have uterus externus. Just gotta squint more to try see itE olivacea have no spermathacae. Meaning you can't molt sex them.
