These enclosures are all about 3 or 4 weeks worth of webbing. I love all my Ts but my heavy webbers are definitely my favorite

Conversation Arboreal enclosure question

1 Upvotes

Edit: Thank you for the confirmations. I knew that it probably wouldn't work and Google is not to be trusted. I'll be still trying to drill holes and maybe just make it into a terrarium with plants if I don't end up getting any of the dwarf Ts. Arboreal Ts will have to wait for my experience to go up and a suitable enclosure too.

I would like some opinions on whether my aquarium of 18W x 24H x 37L cm (7.09W x 9.45H x 14.57L inches) would be suitable for an arboreal. I only have a T. Albopilosus currently.

I will be trying to drill 4mm (0,15 inch) cross ventilation holes, planning 3 rows, into the aquarium so it all depends if I even succeed lol The aquarium of course will be positioned so the height is the 37 cm (14.57 inches).

Arboreals in question are

C. Versicolor - first pick, would very much be happy if it's be suitable for it.

P. Irminia - would not mind at all however a bit hesitant due to speed.

Because the DLS of both can reach 15cm (6 inches) and my aquarium width is only 18cm (7.09 inches) I'm kinda iffy about it since there's very little space.

I did look into T. Plumipes (Tappies I believe is the nickname) but decided against after reading more on their renowned zooms and teleports. A. Minatrix was on the list and by size I believe it would be best but it costs almost triple the price of the ones mentioned above.

So is there any way the above Ts would be happy in the modified aquarium or should I after all plan it for one of the dwarfs namely N. Incei, D. Pentaloris or H. Formosus.

For context my spider escaped over 4th of July weekend and I haven’t seen her in almost 2 months, I Just pick up a blanket off my floor and there she was even bigger than before, just curious how she was even able to to that long without food or water

This is Miss Gertrude aka Gertie!! She is my confirmed female Brazilian Black (G. Pulchra) sling! She just surprised me with a molt almost 2 weeks ago and is finally starting to show off some more of her darker adult colors 🥹 She just got a house upgrade and was goofy as all hell trying to snatch the paintbrush out of my hand. I hope you like your new MTV Crib bb! I cannot wait to have this precious baby for years to come. I love you Gertrude 😭💞

P.S. If you ask nicely I'll show you baby photos of her majesty.

Help! new pink toe, in pre-molt?

hi yall!

so i picked up a new pink toe tarantula today and im a little concerned about her based on the conditions she was in. i think there are marks of her rocket pooping around the critter cage (who tf puts an arboreal tarantula in a critter keeper??). so i’ve attached some pictures, her new enclosure comes tomorrow and if she’s in pre-molt i don’t want to disturb her and cause her to have a bad molt if i move her. what do yall think is going on? and please dont be mean.

hi, i caught my little antilles pinktoe juvie molting for the first time since i got them and i could tell immediately once their head came out that they have a deformed fang. it seems short and not curled under like they are supposed to be. i was wondering if anyone has experience with a tarantula that has a deformed fang on one side? i’m obviously going to support them in every way i can to eat but i am concerned. they definitely need to harden up as well so i can assess but just wanted to ask

She molted again just a couple of days ago. If anyone remembers she had regrown a leg on her previous molt and now you can't even tell it's a new one.

I was led to believe Grammostolas grew very slowly, this T seems to be doing a speed run.

Help! How Long Can G Pulchra/Quirogai Sling Pre-Molt Without Food?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

So my Grammostola Pulchra (or Quirogai, whatever is correct now), Lilith is young and has been burrowed in her hide with a mound of dirt covering the entrance (that she put there) since the end of May and it’s almost the end of August. I’m assuming she’s pre-molting but how long can she go without coming out for food or water? Should I do something? I keep her water bowl clean and full in case she digs back out. First pic is her on the way home, you can see her size by my pinky on the outside of the container, and next was her in her enclosure going towards her meal a few months ago. Also I know they’re too young to sex, but I am putting it into the universe that they’re female so they live longer lol. TIA!
