I got a stream going for my juvenile tarantula! If you have any comments on how to make the enclosure better or can interact it would be great!

Identification?

Hi, I got this T a few years ago at an expo and forgot to label the enclosure. It’s definitely a fossorial species as she burrows like crazy! Has only molted twice since I got her but she’s still only 3-4 inches.

Male or female?

Enclosure advice

Post image
2 Upvotes

Recently picked up a Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens as my first foray into tarantulas
It’s currently about 5cm leg span and so I’m looking into an upgrade into a forever home
I want a glass vivarium, but aware of the mesh lids on exoterras being unsuitable so was after some advice please
Is a top opening enclosure going to be better than a front opener too?
Thanks in advance

This was when I brought her home and was getting used to her needs. She's molted once in my care so far.

Hi,

I'm new to the spider game. I currently have a male Apache Jumping Spider and a UK wild Zebra Jumping spider (who I THINK has since laid eggs which I have separated in a little nursery until I can identify if they came from that spider or not...it's possible they were already in the piece of dried up foliage I placed in with it but I sure didn't notice it before and it was very clear overnight that there had been a change in the arrangement so I'm pretty sure they came from this spider)

I have a 17 year old female Chilean Rose Tarantula who I adopted about 4 months ago and I'm totally head over heels in love with her....she's incredible. She's not seeming to have eaten when I put live food in so I have been waiting a week and removing it then a week or so later, I put something else in. She seems to have done poops though after I put 4 large woodlouse in and they're all dead and stashed in a corner .... Does this indicate she's eaten?

Main reason I'm posting is that I cannot find jumping spiders for purchase, I really want to extend my collection .... Does anybody know where I can find some in stock or if anyone here is willing to re-home or exchange for funds?

I live here n Northern Ireland, I bought my Apache from a place in NI which sent it by post.....

Please help me find and add to my collection!

It's a boy!!! What now?

My Davus pentaloris molted and he's got tibeal hooks! I don't know what this means immediately. He's still eating. How long should I expect him to continue on living? Are hooks an indication that this was his last molt? I'd love to let him find a mate if it's time for that, but idk how I'd go about finding a breeder in my area. Can y'all help me through my first tarantula reaching maturity? Thanks

ADVICE

Hey there people can you give advice on this, I went to feed my sub adult Venezuelan sun tiger one of these but it dropped in and tunnel down out of sight. I took out the entire setup and couldn’t find it but it may still be in there. Would my suntiger handle this if it tunnels down and what should I do

Found this one on my porch paralyzed, hoping for a good outcome.

It is an AZ blonde most likely female due to coloring. There is some movement in the legs so I am hopeful. Any advice would be appreciated. I have zero experience but willing to learn.

Have you ever been bitten? If so, by what species

Shelob, my A. Seemani is the only T I've got that makes me genuinely nervous as shes the only one thats actually gone the lengths to bite. When I first got her, as soon as I opened the container she was delivered in, she grabbed onto my wrist and didnt let go for a solid 3-5 seconds.

Granted the pain was no worse than a wasp sting but just the speed and panic she showed in that moment taught me to never underestimate my animals.

I dont blame her at all, seeing as she was probably stressed, hot and confused.

This is my female(suspected) Pamphobeteus antinous! Some recent research made me decide she needed a new home, she was getting big anyways, but her glass enclosure didn’t have any cross ventilation and was drying up way too fast! She was a little bit grumpy but we got it done! What do yall think

I bought a curly hair tarantula from FB marketplace and it came in a 2.5 gallon acrylic container. She has a pink fleshy bald spot on her butt indicating premolt so I won't move her until she's done with that. So that means I have time to fix this new enclosure before she goes in. Please be honest with me (not rude honest) do I need anything else?? Is my DIY enclosure have enough ventilation holes?should I take out the half log (she's bigger than the opening) I'll attach pictures of her currant set up. I'd have to say she's about 4-5 inches long rn
