That size of enclosure is slightly too big for a 1 inch sling.
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens are terrestrial not arboreal.
This is the only species in that genus discovered so far. They are unique as they have been discovered living in two types of climates, arid and humid. In one climate they...
I was going to suggest you look into that one! They’re heavy webbers, which would be fun to watch. I didn’t get one as my beginner species because I read that they can be a bit bolty, and I didn’t feel prepared for that, so keep that in mind.
For the “bioactive” question (I’m using quotes...
This is super interesting to read! My H. mac had these same symptoms and I took her out of the enclosure she was in and built her an entirely new one.
I also kept her in a small acrylic enclosure with a wet paper towel overnight. After 24 hours I rehoused her and she has also recovered.
That...
I only see one ow on that list so by powers of deduction I assume that one if NMTs says its ow it must be that one. But just incase try giving it an around viv one with webbing hight and sub depth keep it half dry half with moisture and see what the sling does 🤷♀️
Glad it won't be a problem...
Why is it only between a gbb or A. geniculata?
Any tarantula can be kept as a first T. The difference is in the keeper's ability in their husbandry from doing correct research, (not facebk, Tom Moran only on youtoob no one else) and of course #1 Arachnoboards. Then there are the scientific...
Keep the Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens dry even as a sling, I’ve kept it dry with a water dish since 2i. Same goes for Caribena versicolor and other Aviculariinae, at least dry with a water dish is how I keep all of them!
.
Yes, its empty in the picture but i filled it after.
So its okay and im probably being massively paranoid, sounds like me. I guess i just wanted the confirmation from someone else who knows this stuff more.
Not unresponsive just that it was very close to its water dish and its legs were pulled...
It appear to be standing upright and not molting on its back although they can molt upright.
the water dish may have some strands of webbing in it that are wicking the moisture out, take it out clean it and put it back in.
Chromatoplema cyaneopubescens are not moisture dependent, but slings do...
...or - if a clean deciduous forest (oak, beech, etc.) is around - just get a full bucket of soil from there and use it - rotten leaves and beech nuts, last year's small twigs and everything. Just scrape away the uppermost layers of fresher leaves and scoop up the good stuff beneath. Remove the...
Hello good day. I have all this Tarantula as sling currently and I'm like moistening one part of their substrate because I've heard they need some moisture in their vulnerable stage. my question now would be what would be there moisture requirements once the become older, Like is it bone dry...
Very informative thread, that's the thread that made me question my decision. The op said he had one sling that preferred moisture even though he had most kept dry. That's all it took for my brain to go into overdrive :rofl: Thank you both.
The substrate is damp, Chromatopelma cyaneopubescensslings do not like moisture in the substrate. The sling is stressed and climbing the sides of the container. Dry out the substrate...
Doesn't look like feces or mold to me, very strange. But if you've upped the moisture and stifled the ventilation (which should not be done with a gbb), you very well could develop mold. And that abdomen is like nothing I have seen before, almost looks like half of it was photoshopped out...
Hey folks. I seem to be having some difficulty with my Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescenssling. I have it for a couple months shy of a year and never really experienced any problems. For the past couple months (maybe about 2ish), it refuses to eat. It ate once or twice after it’s most recent molt...
Hello,
I was hoping to gather additional recommendations form experienced keepers regarding sling care for the following species. I am not a total noob i have raised slings before but am far from an expert so any input related to enclosure size, feeding routines and sub moisture or just tips in...
Going through the sling enclosures today, mostly checking up on my tiny tiny slings in their soufflé cups. Checking on who’s moulted, is there enough moisture, anyone looking hungry (feeding time is Friday), etc.
I took advantage of having the cabinet open and went through the Phormictopus...
The Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens is a very hardy spider to keep.
You'll want to keep the substrate dry and use a water dish.
There are a few things to look out for:
* Slings not feeding and acting lethargic
* slings not webbing
*slings not exploring the enclosure and spending all or most of...
This is the enclosure for my Grammostola pulchripes. In the upper right corner you can see the rump of a roache, somebody didn't eat dinner last night again...so hopefully it'll moult soon.
I use 4X4X4 AMAC containers for most of my slings. The substrate is pressed coco fibre. I like to slope...
