I bought 2 tarantulas on Monday. A T albopilosus sling that has just moulted.
And a young P subfusca.
Seems both come in two forms so I’m not sure exactly what I have but am enjoying both so far.
Hard to get good pix.
The subfusca has some beautiful blue on the last segment of its legs. It ate 2 crickets overnight the first night I had it.
Cats pushed the bag they were in off the counter when I first came into the house with them on Monday afternoon hearing the crickets moving around. Both are ok but the sling lost its burrow. So both spiders and the crickets are in my bedroom with the door closed, living in my bedroom along with my ants.
Store owner found a shed skin in the container of the albopilosus so it has just moulted. Will it make a new burrow when it hardens? It needs a new habitat I feel. Suggestions please for a new home for it.
Overall advice for a novice would be appreciated.
thanks
I’m pretty sure sling requires more substrate to burrow in so it will need a new container. Seller will move it for me. I just need ideas what to move it into.
