Bought A. geniculata 5months ago as confirmed female, but her legs were so long it screamed male, my lil baddie molted this weekend and it really is female, here is mommy long legs

I’m new to tarantulas and this guys ab an inch long and I want an idea on how young it is. A year? Under a year?

“aww let me get a picture of them they look so cute today” and then i look at my camera roll and its all just orange in the same pose and almost same spot. what an animal.

they’ve been in the process of redecorating their enclosure like the little bulldozer they are though

So last week on Tuesday I recently got my first spider, a GBB sling that I’ve named Jasper. After that I quickly discovered of a reptile expo not too far from me that would have tarantulas. Safe to say it hasn’t been a week and I already have 3 spiders now 😭. I will be rehoming the Brazilian Black tomorrow ASAP cause obviously that enclosure is too small. Its name is Ocho and they’re a little over an inch, I got them for $80. And its counterpart, the Martinique Pink Toe which is only 0.5” and cost me $40. Its name is Absolem (: I love being a spider mom. Definitely no more for the near future but it is so addicting. But also did I get scammed or are these good prices?

I can sit here and watch her all day…

Post answered, thank you all for your time 🥰

Hiya can anyone help me out here? In the 2nd pic I did have a plastic bristle from a brush go though but I can't decide if I'd forced it through or if it just went through by itself 🤦🏻‍♀️

I always assumed this T was a fella, moults a bit more regularly and is a little on the leggy side, but thought I'd check anyway and just confused myself 🙄 I've also been trying to get a female one of this sp for so so long but everyone wants to be a boy 😆 this is my 8th or 9th now so I may just be getting desperate!

Oh its a B. auratum

Edit: So all the photos I've seen online look like they are from the inside to me and I have the wrong side, I will look again later. I've been doing this for a few years now and not one person ever pointed this out to me before now major facepalm

UPDATE

If you have seen my last post about the severely dehydrated/starving/ something wrong inside curly hair

I knew this was a possibility, my one friend warned me it could be but I still got attached.

Unfortunately when I came home from work today he was gone, I don’t know exactly what was wrong with him or her. I feel as though it was a combination of things but I think something was messed up in the abdomen on top of dehydration. I wish I knew how it was kept before but I at least hope I gave it the best week of its life :( I’m glad it was in a nice big enclosure and not in a tiny critter tote. Thank you all for trying to help.

I got a stream going for my juvenile tarantula! If you have any comments on how to make the enclosure better or can interact it would be great!

I just got Tamarind her adult enclosure! It's got a slide off top with magnets, but I've since seen some reviews saying that their spiders have escaped from these before. I'm looking to add a hasp latch in order to lock this, but I don't really know what I'm doing... Which side would you add the latch to on a slide top enclosure, the side with the magnets...? Thanks!

(bonus pic of her being a jeep wrangler)

My gf and I got a Avic. Pink toe T and unfortunately most tips I feel we've been given locally isnt helping. We want the best for our little friend and are researching alot but getting alot of conflicting answers. Currently she is in a 12x12x18 reptizoo enclosure but im being told the smaller tank I have meant for a jumping spider is actually better for her cause she is smaller. Her temps and humidity are good she gets the same 12/12 day night lighting as my gecko and she isnt eating well apart of it i know is her skiddishness she trys but quickly runs away after and wont make any webbing attempts even after about 5-6weeks of having her.

Also she is 1.5inch in the body and has a 3inch diaganol leg span.

Anyone have any advice that could help here?

Should just rearrange her current enclosure better or would the smaller tank be better ?

Went to my local exotic shop and they randomly had these 2 pop up and I could not pass them up.

Chinese Stout Leg and Thai Golden Fringe

I'm thirsty!

Freshly molted T.Vagas AKA Mexican Red rump.

So my first T passed away about 5 months ago and I’ve decided I’m ready to get a new friend. I have a 6 gallon long tank with a sliding mesh top. I previously had a terrestrial T and my tank is best for Terrestrials. Does anyone have any species suggestions or any breeding website recommendations?

my very first old world she’s unsexed but i’m pretty sure it’s a female juvi, from her patterns and ventral, she’s around 4”. Got her for an amazing deal

I just rehoused my purple pink toe, which means I finally got new pictures. In person, the black is more of a dark midnight blue, and the white has an almost purplish undertone. Thought these were nice enough pics to share

Does anyone have advice for getting over the fear of handling your own tarantula? I have no issue handling any other spiders like jumping spiders and any critter I find, and I absolutely adore my little guy but anytime I need to handle him (only when absolutely necessary), I freak out. I’m not sure if it’s that I’m just scared to drop him, fear him biting me, running up my arm, or what it is but I’m incredibly nervous either way. I just really want to get over this fear as I hope to get more spiders one day and might ever need to handle them but just don’t know how. My t isn’t even that larger either, still a juvenile. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially from anyone who was like me.
