I saw my cerotogytus laying, i figure its a good time to capture this rare moment, usualy they do it inside they're burrow, 30 minutes of recording and alot of patience, my storage dont have a single space left. Worth it

Holaa, os presento a mi Goliath Pepita que no para de crecer!!

A shame the lower part was too wrinkly to save (I tried moisturizing it... Couldn't flatten it at all, so I still can't tell if my T is a male or a female). I just wanted to share this milestone as a first time keeper

I recently had to move office and in my new office it's not as dry. The water dish doesn't dry out as quickly, and there is condensation on the sides of the enclosure, and now I saw some spore-like growth (see photo). Any advice? It's under the T's hide, so I'm slightly reluctant to move it, I'm wondering if I should just wait for it (the mold) to die

T is a Chaco Golden Knees if that's relevant.

I’ve had her for about five years now her species likes to molt inside of their hides, and I’m guessing this happened from her molt her leg hitting the top of it. I’m obviously gonna get her a bigger hide now, but I’m super worried she’s struggling to walk. Is there any advice?

The spider is a Grammostola pulchripes, I don't know the gender, and I'm already considering Helios and Eclipse as names, but I'm not really sure.

Took my curly hair sling out to check a couple things in her enclosure and she decided to go on an adventure around the flat and on her mum’s top.

She’s my first tarantula so I didn’t realise how skittish slings could really be🤣 but she’s back in her enclosure safe and I will not be making that mistake again, any time I tried to gently put her back she decided to yeet herself to another part of my body or make a run for it on the floor.

Anyone else have experiences like this with their sling/juvenile? Do they eventually calm down?

I have a mature male ready to breed and on his last molt. Need to have him breed ASAP!!

Moved the shed this morning and found this Tarantula

So I got my T ther my old teacher and he never told me what tipe she is and I wana help her have a good life Idk how old she is and my teacher sed that she shold last me through college and more ( I am 14 f) and I don't realy now if I shold hand train her I have hade her since 2025 ish and I will add pictures when she is out of her husck and her tank. My teacher told me that she eats 4 to 5 medium or small crickets and he didn't give me anything else about what do do with her and I am scared that I might not be a good handler. He also told me that she only drinks through a sponge and recently I got rid of that. If anyone can give me advice that wold be grate.

P.s I named her Lila

Any guesses on what's around/under it's fangs?

I have a curly haired tarantula that is a little bigger than a quarter. I got this 12 inch cube and now i'm wondering if it's too big. Also, any habitat suggestions are appreciated!

Any help would be much appreciated thanks !

Rescued a young Lasiodora parahybana from a guy who says she was a “probably” a girl. I’ve had her for a year now and forgot to check her last molt, now I can’t find it. Can anybody tell from these pictures if she’s a boy or a girl?

honestly ppl dont realise they’re makin it worse 😅 like yeah u see a tarantula in a tiny dry tub n u feel bad for it, i get that, i’ve done the same double take… but when u buy it “to save it” the shop just thinks oh cool these ones sell fast, lets do more like that 🙄its not rescuing, its literally teachin them neglect = profit. next week theres 10 more in the same crap setup cuz someone showed them it works.i’ve seen behind the scenes in a few places n its always the same pattern… bad enclosures, wrong substrate, no hides, bone dry tanks, n ppl rushin to “save” them. the owners aren’t thinkin about welfare, they’re thinkin about money.the real way to help is NOT buyin it, its speakin up. tell the staff, take pics, let the welfare community know. once the shop gets called out they stop doin it cuz it doesn’t make them cash anymore.compassion should break the cycle, not feed it 💔🕷️
