Just received my first tarantula just a week or so ago. She is an A. Seemanni (at least I am pretty sure). Been reading on the forums for a couple weeks and learning a lot! I love this new hobby so far and been looking at even getting a sling sometime in the near future. Also, just wondering if A. Seemanni like to do a lot of hiding? She seems to really like her hide. I know since the new move, it could possibly mean a molt correct? Anyways, here is a picture!

looks good

Mine likes to do a lot of hiding, not necessarily because he's about to moult. If you have deep enough substrate it'll start moving it around and tunnelling, I was lucky to have mine dig all along the edges of the terrarium so even underground I can see it.

(although it happens to be above ground in this photo)

Hey and congrats :D

And it´s not BS what Teal says... Its very addicting, allmost like a drug :p

The A. Seemanni has orange spinners, and i can´t see any on yours? ;)

My Seemanni Pre-molt. (Havent seen it since it molted hehe)


Here´s a good care sheet ;)

Worked very well for me. After i gave the things named in the care sheet. It started digging along the sides, when it was done with the digging, It molted :clap:

Hope this is helpfull for you ;)

Nice T.

Seemanni hides quite a bit for a starter tarantula. A bit more shy than most of these docile terrestrials you come across.

'FIRST' tarantula is appropriate way to look at it. :) When you're ready for more, there's a wealth of info here on picking out what Ts would suit you. I do recommend getting a sling or 5. They're wickedly adorable, and watching them grow is just amazing.

Also...congrats and WELCOME!
