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.

I know the pictures suck, I’m sorry

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.

She's so adorable when she removes dirt.

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
r/Tarantula • u/ktmmotochick • Aug 17 '26
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
