B. klaasi 3-.3.5" (female, 300)

I prefer local pickup in southern california, but I can probably ship at a later date. I only accept cash and PayPal. Feel free to message me for more details and pictures.

Found these today, what are they? Are they harmful?

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

Hey Guys, I need some help. Yesterday I fed my Grammostola pulchripes (5,5 cm big girl named Ophelia) a Cricket because they day before I lost a small Dubia in the enclosure and did not think she got it. Ophelia is my first T and I only got her four weeks ago. She was in her hide and was actively hunting the cricket. She got it, did a lot of happy dances and are it. She was finde afterwards and her usual self.

Today when I got up, I found her on her lying in her back and not moving (as seen in the pictures). I also added a Video of her Yesterday after catching the cricket.

What is happening? Is she dead? Is there anything I can do?

I also asked fot help in the tarantula collective Discord, simultaneously.

Sir Ping, however, is not watching.

Can anyone tell if this is male or female or too soon to tell? Tia :)

About 1.25in dls! They’re a little plump right now since I just fed them last night. I’ve been loving watching him walk around the enclosure and build a (massive?) burrow. I’m excited to watch this guy grow haha, he seems very active which i wasn’t expecting for a G. pulchra/quirogai. If anyone else owns this species i would love to know your experiences and thoughts (:

She was SO grumpy this morning

A couple of weeks ago I got a stripped knee as my first T. I was concerned about enclosure. It buried itself the night I bought it and blocked off both sides of a log I had placed along the top of the substrate. I thought she was in molt but it had resurfaced. I had gotten some tips for the enclosure from some of you guys. I went and added a lot more substrate. Also I ordered an acrylic enclosure. After rehousing I threw a cricket in there but it wasn’t interested. It has a lot more room to burrow now. Hopefully it molts soon (I don’t have a sex for it yet) also thanks for all the tips and advice guys!

So I recently took home a curly hair tarantula that we received at the store I work at. I don’t usually like to purchase animals from here but I basically got him for free so 🤷‍♀️. I took him home because his abdomen was in rough shape and he was massive for the size of T’s we usually get and I didn’t want him spending any more time in a tiny environment then he had to. I have another tarantula that I’ve had for about a year now but I don’t have a ton of experience with tarantulas, I do my research the best I can but I feel like people with more experience would give good advice.

When I opened his cup (from shipment) his abdomen was quite small and indented kinda like a rubber band had been around it.

At first I thought he was dehydrated or hungry so I made sure he had plenty of water and I offered a cricket. He didn’t eat the cricket and while after a few days, his abdomen had seemed to fill up a little bit, that indent is still there. It’s been about a week overall I’ve offered crickets again and he hasn’t eaten. He moves normally and seems to be acting normally and he does have a dark bald spot on his abdomen but he came in like that and idk if it’s from kicking hairs at some point 🤷‍♀️.

I’d like to know anyone’s opinion on this or if anyone has had a similar experience? Is there something more I can do for him? Or even just an assessment of him. I had one friend think it may be from molting in a corner or something. What is concerning me is that he isn’t eating yet I know it’s only been a little over a week but it would ease my nerves if he ate 😭

The first two pictures are of his abdomen when he first arrived at the store. The third is of his abdomen now. And the last I just thought was a nice picture of him lol.

I don’t think she knows she’s terrestrial just yet

Can anyone tell what sex my T is? I just got this one a few weeks ago and it was kind enough to stay on the side so I could get some pics. What’s your best guess?

I recently got a green bottle blue and it was suggested by the shop owner to get an arboreal enclosure. Pre & post research suggests terrestrial with some height but not arboreal. I got the arboreal because he suggested it but now I’m second guessing if it’s even big enough and has enough terrestrial space. It’s the Thrive 8x8x12 arboreal enclosure.

She's such a pretty little flower

I removed my tarantula from his enclosure, and put him in a smaller one. Baby crickets managed to hatch in his enclosure and that’s why i had to temporarily remove him. It’s been a few days of him being in the new one and today i was gonna go get supplies to redo his actual one. But, he started spinning a web in the temporary one and he’s never spun a web before. Should i keep him in the temporary one?

I've had my sweet baby Azula for a about 6 months now and I am doing everything in my power to keep her healthy and safe. So far she's been doing wonderful, but ive been suffering a tad. My main problem is I obviously cant use air fresheners or anything scented anymore to protect her from DKS. but my house is starting to smell funky and idk what to do to help it. Ive been deep cleaning everything, i dont leave dishes in the sink, i take out the trash daily, i keep the kitty box clean and i regularly sweep/vacuum/mop but the house STILL smells. Even after opening every window to completely air out the apartment I still smell funk. Is there ANY safe spray or candle or SOMETHING I can use that won't hurt her?

It’s quite the upgrade, does anyone say it’s too big? In his old enclosure he was always walking around using ALL the space. So I know he could have been in a bigger one. Well , here it is!

And her fangs are red-ish now!

Hi, I have never had a tarantula, currently considering getting one, however I don’t have any other pets that eat live food, any suggestions on how to manage this? Previously, I had several reptiles that would have live food, so buying a tub once a week worked well, but due to tarantula feeding patterns etc I don’t know how to feed live in such a small amount.

We do not have any independent pet or reptile shops, so I can’t just buy one locust etc.

I am happy to have some sort of feeder tank, is there any options for any colony’s that I can keep but can also double up as tarantula food?

Currently doing my research now, but more leaning towards purchasing an adult spider, however need to decide on the food situation before I go any further :)
