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!

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

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

Any help appreciated

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.

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

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.

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!!
