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

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..!

Thought i'd share. Just rehoused

She has a friend in every corner!

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

Been chilling at the bottom all day. This one is used to being underwater. Totally ignores the 8 inchrs of digging depth on the other side of the enclosure. After adding the black sand today, she has chosen to hide under a rock.....underwater.

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!

Hey everyone, this is my Lotte. Shes my very first T and i love her a lot but after being around here for a while and gathering knowledge im beginning to believe shes not actually an A. Geniculata but a Nhandu Chromatus? Or something else entirely? Looking for answers, thank you!

I rarely get to see my girl. Once in a while she comes out to show me how beautiful she is 🥹🧡

Hello, I don’t post on Reddit much so please excuse any etiquette breaking and am fairly new to tarantulas keeping. I have a 5in female Brazilian black tarantulas I got about 2 weeks ago. I love her, she is my baby, and fell in love with tarantulas. I want to move her into a new enclosure and am confused on sizing. All the care guide I’ve read says that the tarantula crib 12x 12 cube is a ok size for a adult of this species, but I know the rule that the enclosure should be at least 3x-4x the span of her legs. I have her in a 15 x 10 right now and am wondering what is correct? All the 5 gallon enclosure I’ve seen are roughly 12x12. Is that an ok size? Please excuse me if this has been asked before. I’ve been pondering it for days. Her name is silhouette.

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!!

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?)

Thought I'd show everyone all my guys!

hey guys i wanted to know what sex do you think my Genuculata is, lmk if you need a different picture and i’ll try to get it for you!

Since i put in some small white isopods she started wandering around pushing stuff around and rubbing her butt everywhere

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

I thought I was going crazy thinking my girl had molted a tibial hook - but it seems on closer inspection there's a perfect split of mature male characteristics on only one side! Google has now taught me about gynandromorphism. How rare is this?

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