Today in the Spider Room?

[jrh3]

I just counted that I have 72 tarantulas not including the 200 plus EWL and first instar slings. Probably gonna downsize soon. Come on spring time temperatures.

 

[me and my Ts]

My dad joined me in T keeping last week and we fed his tarantula today. It's a juvenile male B. hamorii and he eats like a champ! Also my GBB finally ate a few days ago which was a relief.

That’s awesome! My dad barely even lets me own tarantulas

My female Theraphosa apophysis finally opened up the webb curtain to her hide after 92 days of molting procedure. She is still not coming out, but I will try to feed her during the weekend.
I did shine a light into her hide and, meu deus, she is absolutely gorgeous!

Not much going on these days. My boehmei continues to be upset with the décor in her enclosure and moves the fake plants almost weekly. Food day coming up and that is about it. Life with juvenile and sub-adult terrestrials.... very boring. Just how I like it.

I see you have bred these guys so hoping you can puont me in the right direction for some husbandry info. Theraphosinae sp Piura. I am getting one soon and am having trouble finding much info on them. Moderate moisture requirements I see and have watched Tom Morans video on them on YouTube. I like to keep my Ts as close to natural habitat for husbandry as I can. Do you know the region they hail from and what tips of any can you give me.

Hy, they have no special requirements, you can keep them like most South American terrestrials. Spreading substrate for digging, water hole and hiding place. It is currently assumed that Theraphosinae sp piura is Thixopelma pruriens. If your animal is from 05.2021 it could actually be mine. In cooperation with a dealer from Berlin, I sent 120 slings of this type to the States via container last year!
They are from Piura...

I just got a successful pairing today on my psalmopoeus victori pair. Took a few hours. These guys are the most high strung pairing I have ever done. Saved the male too, she wanted to eat him the whole time….
So excited about this one.
Now just to hope for a sac.

 

[Metallattorney]

My OBT molted male. I am disappointed.

 

[jrh3]

My psalmopoeus Irminia dropped a nice sized sac yesterday.

Rehoused my two male P. ornatas and my juvenile female P. vittata into their adult enclosures today. Even thought they're still quite small, I prefer to house Poecilotheria species in their permanent enclosures earlier than most species in order to reduce the number of rehousings. With any other species I'd definitely hold off, but they're all very aggressive eaters and are growing like weeds. It's always worked out for me well this way. Very pleased with how it went and how the enclosures turned out. They're all taking evening strolls and exploring their new habitats.

 

[Metallattorney]

Rehoused some tarantulas today. Got very different reactions. My harpactira sp. silaka was incredibly smooth. No issues whatsoever. My brachypelma emilia kicked a whole lot of hairs and was generally very annoyed. Then I got a threat pose from my harpactira dictator. I ended up just leaving the old enclosure inside the new one until that one came out. I still need to move my harpactira cafreriana and my pterinochilus murinus dcf Mikumi. I need to clear some room for a couple new ones coming in this week.

 

[me and my Ts]

I finally labeled all my tarantulas!

 

[Jonathan6303]

Just realized mealworms and super worms are two different sp. I wonder if I should start a colony or just grab some super worms and start that.

A little night tour...

Today it was time to care for the offspring of the non-tarantulas...

[Seemannnni]

Picked up my H. Mac molt and saw it out and about later in the day, though immediately bolted into its burrow at the first breath I took of course.

 

[8 legged]

Long time no see... Wow!

 

[Rob1985]

After rehousing my adult female Avic. avic. 6 months ago, she finally figured out that there's a cork round hide for her, and she's been busy webbing in and around it. Tarantula's can be so weird sometimes....

 

[Edan bandoot]

Long time no see... Wow!

wow rare you see them all the way out like that

 

[LD50]

I rehoused my Pelinobius muticus into an enclosure with a whole lot more substrate. She hissed at me for the first time.

Had my first jump scare in years today while rehousing my B. smithi and A. chalchodes, terrifying specimens, I know. Anyway, I get everything in the bathtub (my girlfriend makes me rehouse in the tub even though these little ones are still less than 3 inches), I get the first lid off start the process and my damn cat rubs up against my leg causing me to jump out of my socks! He must have been sleeping under the vanity and come out to see all the action. I felt pretty foolish but thankfully my smithi wouldn’t move even if Moses himself were leading her to the ark. That’ll teach me to just assume my cat isn’t constantly trying to foil my every endeavor.
