Looking for any info, estimates one age, and/or sex though I imagine its to young. Also, species confirmation.
I received this as an adoption from petsmart (no exchange of money) as they stated it was just to big to sell and getting to big to keep. I was told this is a curly hair. Cont...
I take all petsmart info with a grain of dont believe them at all. This is First T. Had a scorp for about 2 years now, maybe 3, so adding a T wasnt hard as I already had everything. Critter keeper is a temporary enclosure. My understanding is this species burrows so provided lots of dirt in simple temporary enclosure. Moistened soil as burrowing in that soil dry would be next to imposible but once it dries, it should hold form.
Need to know at what point I should rehouse. Ultimate goal here is a ten gallon to sit above scorp tank in my office on shelf. Any additional info and advice would be great.
Species is Tliltocatl albopilosus, the curly hair tarantula. Age is really irrelevant when it comes to T's - you and I could keep individuals from the same egg sack for the same amount of time, and they could be significantly different sizes due to any number of factors. If I had to guess, I'd say it's between 5 and 10 years old. The critter keeper will be good for a while. A 10 gallon will work, but it's really overkill. My adult female T. albo is in a 5.5 gallon and is very happy.
Read through this thread and the links in it for great beginner info.
Below are some helpful resources. (Rather than having half a dozen or more pinned threads, which clutter the top of the board, we are pinning this index.) While the focus is on beginners, there are other threads on health and more advanced species that may be useful to more experienced keepers...
Yeah, they grow relatively slow. What is the leg span from tip of longest front leg to tip of longest back leg on opposing side? I doubt the store had it for that long - they probably got it from their vendor when it was already pretty large. Many of them are wild caught specimens and are often males. This one appears to be a female, which would be a lucky find...

I just got her home and rehoused. Dropped a roach in there. I dont wanna mess with her anymore as its already been a long hard day. I posted a pic i took earlier next to a dollar for size comparison. I didnt post it originally because i didnt want ro clutter the boards to bad.
