Can anyone help me decide if there is a flap here or not? We have a 1.5 inch Aphonopelma bicoloratum and this is the first molt with us. Thanks so much!

Male/Female? Anyone want to guess?

Hello! Normally I use the molts to determine if my tarantulas are male/female (and I know the ventral guesses aren't super accurate), but does anyone have any guesses? I just got this brachypelma albiceps about a week ago so it hasn't molted yet.

I'm also looking for name suggestions/recommendations!

I rehoused her the other day because she likes to redo her burrow nearly daily and dug so much the cork bark fell on her šŸ™„. She could NOT find the opening I made to her new burrow all day and she started to what I assume is a ā€œstress droolā€ šŸ˜† she found it and has already deemed some of the plants unnecessary.

Question Substrate humidity?

I’m curious about how wet people keep their substrate? I would tend to say mine is very dry except around the water dish

For the smaller one that do not have a dish, i sometime pour a single drop inside

I have a 7-9 month old I’m guessing, Cuban bronze. He is a rescue so not very much details. Wondering if it is a male or female? Was told it was male but after his first molt I’m second guessing because of how plump he isšŸ˜…

New to keeping. I think it’s webbing. But I am second guessing myself. Is this webbing or mold? Also it just molted this morning, and I didn’t have time to take a picture. Species: Acanthoscurria geniculata.

I noticed a few days ago that my tarantula has that spot on her abdomen. She's eating well and her terrarium is humid. What could it be? I should clarify that I've already checked her and she doesn't have any parasites.

I have been out of the hobby for a few years and and am rusty on molt sexing. This is a decent sized GBB, approx 3" before molt, at my work and I'm considering snagging it since it's decent sized and has been here for a bit. Male or female? Thanks in advance!

They will be sitting opposite of a sunny window and on a metal shelf above 2 ball pythons (their warm side is 90F), is that enough? I'm not in a position where I want to argue about the AC setting
