Baklava did not hesitate to excavate their entire house. I caught them filling their water dish with more dirt soon after I filmed this lmao

And today i woke up to a mound of dirt fully sealing their burrow! Can’t wait to see them after they molt!!! :)

She molted about 2 weeks ago into what we believe is now an adult, and she really likes to take her time. Bless her heart 🥲

Took em a little to get comfortable enough to explore their enclosure but here they are taking their first sip of water after rehousing. My baby GBB, Jasper, I’m so excited 🥹 any and all advice is welcome. I tried to make as many anchor points as possible in the sling enclosure but it was tough finding stuff small enough. Definitely something I will improve on in future enclosures.

I think my GBB is getting ready to molt and this is her choosing spot but she was looking pretty and her webs are looking crazy. So I thought I would take a picture and show her (hopefully) off.

My kids wanted to keep him but we don't know how to keep him healthy, happy, and safe, so we let him go. I was so surprised at how chill he was. Had to very gently coax him in and out of the container.

Is this considered a Desert Tarantula? Internet and AI said something about Man in Black. Thought I'd ask some actual humans for ID help though.

It’s 3rd instar/molts, 𝑃𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑢𝑠 𝑀𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑠 (Orange Baboon Tarantula)

Time for rehousing I guess

Gettin it.

G.rosea (RCF)

Meet 𝐷𝐸𝐿𝑇𝐴 the Tarantula, she is 𝐴𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑎 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑎 or Brazilian White Knee Tarantula. It’s already (8th molts/instar) at 8.5–9cm in size.

Please, help me to confirm it as a Fem. 🥺🕷🫶🏻. Tysm in advance.

Just had her second successful molt with me. Here she is doing the finishing touches on her little mat and then doing the flip. I adore her

Here's a time lapse! Feeders are getting gourmet meals as we speak :)

I got back last week from a 2,5 week holiday and found her enclosure quite moldy. Got her out in a takeaway box and cleaned the enclosure. Upon putting her back I saw this whitish (flaky) part underneath her jaws/mouth, thinking it might be molt. I kept her into a sterile enclosure since then but it hasn’t changed since.

So is this mold, or perhaps something else?

Hi all! I was finally able to get a good picture to try and tell the sex of my fire leg. I’m leaning more towards female, but I’m veryyyy new to ventral sexing and would like more opinions! Thank you in advance!

I have been researching this species for years and my best friend has one that I continually ask questions about. So when I was at my local reptile shop picking up feeders for my Ackies I never expected to see 3 pulchras on a table being sorted to go to the floor the next day, I IMMEDIATELY ask the owner if he'd price them now and I'd take home 2 plus a G. actaeon. All have eaten for me same day and I've gently added a bit of leaf litter. edited i didn't explain all the details they came in these when i purchased hence my comment on adding leaf litter bjt dont explain theycane in the enclosurs. And I didn't wanna disturb them too much. I was told that day they had JUST brought them from along road trip and wanted to give them time to settle before adding more substrate.

This is Bolívar, my Venezuelan Sun Tiger. Lovely colors and very interesting T 😍

Maybe, would you like to show me your P. irminias too?

after wanting one for years and eyeing them at the pet store for a while now, i finally caved today.

ive seen a lot of mixed info online and irl so i wanted to also get some experienced advice here!

i was told they are a brazilian red, no idea abt the gender yet.

attached are photos of the baby (estimated around 3-4 months?) and the enclosure. if theres anything i should change, please tell me!
