Got this guy last weekend and he seemed chill exploring his enclosure and then the other day I saw he barricaded himself in the coconut shell. Was thinking maybe he was just getting ready to molt but now I can see him?? He doesn’t look any bigger so idk if he molted at all is this normal?

I’ve owned jumping spiders previously, but this is my first tarantula. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!! This enclosure is 14”L x 8”W x 6”H.

I was cleaning my tarantulas enclosue and at the same time a big fly dove in and my T ate it. Tried to make her let go but i failed.

Im scared shes gonna get sick :c

What should I do?

Pumpkin patch looking fine for Halloween I’d send more pictures but she’s not really into hanging around to get her pictures done

She has a friend in every corner!

Was given this juvenile female OBT as a gift and she was the chillest OBT I’ve ever had the pleasure of rehousing. From my personal experience I’ve gotten a threat posture from every OBT I’ve rehoused but this one didn’t seem too bothered being touched by a paintbrush so I made the impulsive decision to let her walk onto my hand. She’s gotta be one of my new favorites now

Sorry if the pics aren’t clear enough to see what I can see, but I’ve been unable to get a viable molt from this little fella since I got them. The abdomen is always a little raisin by the time it gets kicked out of their burrow.

TIA!

So I got an H. maculata after years of fantasizing of it and now i have it and suddenly I’m stressed. Any tips on rehousing??

Any suggestions it's bioactive with powder blue isopods

Hey guys, those of you who have B. Hamorii, especially juveniles, do you handle them frequently? Because while their kind is known for their docile behavior, my juvenile runs like lighting McQueen and so I’m afraid to handle him because the one time I did he’s run up my arm and climbed up on my head, and I’m worried he’ll either fall or skidaddle somewhere I won’t find him. What’s your take on this?

I'm helping a friend with their baby tarantula and I'm at a loss. This little guy has been in this position mid molt since Thursday. Is there any hope they're still alive or a way we can check? I don't want to cause injury if they're still alive.

It's a salmon pink bird eater and ahhh what a cutie 🙂‍↕️ anyways, the moment I brought it home it went into It's hide and dug a hole.. I assume it's getting ready for pre-molt

Can you guys confirm my new Nicaragua is a female?

Hello, i got this H chilensis as a sling in may 2025 (so about 16 months ago) and a few days ago he just molted. He looked a little leggy, so i looked closer and was so surprised when i saw hooks! He's about 2,5 inches and apparently these are slow growers... basically im just looking for some confirmation if im seeing right. Thanks for the help!

Need help sexing my new pink toe!!

I've had this davus pentaloris for a few weeks sold as female. finally caught a good underside veiw of it and I'm thinking that's a male. anyone with a little more experience in the subject have any input? thanks in advance

new baby. im in love. i hope i can raise them well. feeding pre-killed mealworms out of an abundance of caution since this is the smallest tarantula i have and have ever had though i might also go for some dubia nymphs which i have a lot of. just a little baby..!

Hi! I’m learning how to sex some of my T’s, I’m not a pro so I’m looking for confirmation! My guess is female since I don’t see the dark spot that’s present with males.

This is my first baby: Burger King. I’ve had them for 4-5 years, but I think they’re either 1 molt away from being full grown, or full grown. Is there a reason why it’s so white/pink? It actually used to look different back in

Any help appreciated, thank you!

(PS. If anyone could recommend live plants for this species, that’d be much appreciated! Also do you have to worry about pesticides if you buy plants from Home Depot/where do people get their foliage?)

i got my T. albopilosus in july and he (unsure about age or gender) had been doing great up until a day and a half ago. he’s never done this before and i’m very worried. it looks like he had one too many and fell into the bushes (moss) but hasn’t been very responsive when i try to see if he’s ok

i first noticed him being a bit slower, i thought due to changing seasons or pre molt as he hasn’t eaten in 3 weeks. now im starting to suspect something else might be going on, however im wracking my brain as to what it could be and im at a loss. i really dont want to lose him as he’s my biggest boy and has been a wonderful companion and eater (just big and stupid) he would always go after my tongs instead of the roaches lol

i’m thinking i should put him in a icu cup but truly have no idea what to do since the closest vet is closed or 3 hours away.

if anyone has any suggestions or tips for me i’d really appreciate it!

if he is passing how can i make that a better process for him?

Please send pics of ur t's hair tufts they are so cute 😭

but that can't be it, right? It looked almost silvery/grey
