Tarantula Rehousing Thread

[Dovey]

He is 4 inches, so I'd guess at least a couple of molts.

Well I've got a 6-inch young lady arriving next week. So call me Yente from Fiddler on the Roof, but "have I got a girl for you..." You can't start matchmaking too early.

After my GBB sling moulted last weekend and doubled (at the very least) in size, a rehousing seemed appropiate.

Before:



After:





And yes, it's a 'Ferrero Rocher' box! It was originally intended for my little GBB when it first arrived, but back then it was way too big for that tiny little sling. Now I hope it will last a couple of moults.
The little one already started webbing in the back... we'll see how long it'll take until everything's webbed over.

@Dannica brought her Female A. avic for a pairing session....Prior I re-housed her into a larger enclosure, more conducive for pairing.

Now both of my Neoholothele incei are in new enclosures.

Just rehouse my C. Fimbriatus. I was expecting a really bolty spider because that's what I had seen in the past, but what I got was the most stubborn, most tolerant spider I've ever seen. I poked her butt for about 5 minutes because she moved one pedipalp into her new enclosure.

thanks for bringing this thread back....I forgot about this thread.Not that it did anything,I can recover these pics of my mesomelas.

 

[Smotzer]

Dont see why this never took off, maybe due to the low frequency of rehousing's?

 

[Seemannnni]

well i'll update and say i rehoused my avic juruensis into a lil 5.5oz cup yesterday, right after putting it into a 32oz when i first got it yesterday too. it's been staying on the ground in the current one, though i imagine it's normal given it's probably quite stressed and acclimating. anyone to prove such?

 

[Tarantulafeets]

Rehoused t albo few days ago, now it has much more dirt to dig in.

Did my first rehousing yesterday afternoon after getting my tarantula last Saturday. New enclosure is deeper, filled higher (previously it had insufficient depth to burrow), and has a new hide and fresh substrate with a little starter burrow. After entering the enclosure it immediately stuck half of itself in the burrow, then for the next day stayed away from it and spent the entire time chilling in various spots around the enclosure: on the hide, on the substrate, over the water dish, touching the side of the enclosure. Then this evening I go and check and I can't see it - look closer and it's decided to excavate the burrow a little more. You can see it poking a leg out in the pic.

I guess it had a good thorough inspection of its new surroundings and decided all was well to proceed with working on its safe spot. Anyway, old news to most people on here I'm sure, but after a day feeling mostly fairly crappy it gave me a nice happy moment. Need to remove some of the dug-out substrate I think - bit of a mound forming outside the hide. And on top but I think I'll leave that as it's minimal and looks kind of cool.

Kinda unrelated but I reeeally need to rehouse my P. met. Gonna move it into my P. Irminia's old enclosure and rehouse her elsewhere.

Rehoused my recently molted P.cam from 36oz ziplock container to an extra large kritter keeper. For the first time I am trying a cork bark round rather than my usual cork bark flat angled. I really like how it turned out. I also used some moss and incorporated it onto the cork bark and around it.

I see you use the Ziploc containers also!. I love these,and have used them for years.Cheap,easy to open and less disturbing than the deli cup snap lids.
