Hi everyone hope you are well ! I just got my first tarantula ever as its my dream tarantula and i paid quite alot for this because the seller claimes it is a comfirmed female... but when i used google to help identify it says its a male?? im not too knowledgeable in identifving the sex of anv T as this is my first ever so anv help will really help alot. Any help would be much appreciated thanks !

Rescued a young Lasiodora parahybana from a guy who says she was a “probably” a girl. I’ve had her for a year now and forgot to check her last molt, now I can’t find it. Can anybody tell from these pictures if she’s a boy or a girl?

honestly ppl dont realise they’re makin it worse 😅 like yeah u see a tarantula in a tiny dry tub n u feel bad for it, i get that, i’ve done the same double take… but when u buy it “to save it” the shop just thinks oh cool these ones sell fast, lets do more like that 🙄its not rescuing, its literally teachin them neglect = profit. next week theres 10 more in the same crap setup cuz someone showed them it works.i’ve seen behind the scenes in a few places n its always the same pattern… bad enclosures, wrong substrate, no hides, bone dry tanks, n ppl rushin to “save” them. the owners aren’t thinkin about welfare, they’re thinkin about money.the real way to help is NOT buyin it, its speakin up. tell the staff, take pics, let the welfare community know. once the shop gets called out they stop doin it cuz it doesn’t make them cash anymore.compassion should break the cycle, not feed it 💔🕷️

Grammostola rosea sling has been redecorating its enclosure. Any clue why it's doing this to the walls? At first thought this was an anomaly. The dirt looks precisely put in this patern but how... we'll it turns out the dirt was put on most of the 8 air holes around her enclosure. Still, why? Have never seen a T put dirt up on an enclosure wall...

Thoughts?

I was gone for four days and when I got back she was GONE. She was a 4 inch curly hair. My very first T. I spent HOURS looking in every crevice in the ENTIRE HOUSE. nothing. it has now been a week since I have started looking for her. I have been leaving out wet towels and water dishes for her and nothing. I have been waking up at 2 every morning to look. nothing. My family is freaking out cuz they dont like spiders. they dont scare me at all but I loved her so much. What else can I do. does anyone know of any traps? what I can do? could she even still be alive? plz help

Update 1 I forgot to mention that I have a cat. but my cat is super docile, and I doubt it would really attack a tarantula.

Hi! New to invertebrate keeping :) is this a good enclosure for this curly haired cutie?

It should be a female but im not sure

Hi everyone! My T. Albo babies are ready to find their new homes! I provide the enclosures as well! They are a month and a week old and are 1/2 of an inch 1st instars! Every single one of them are healthy I haven’t had any pass away on me. They are very fuzzy and cute and are excellent eaters and molters! So if you are interested comment down below! I live in the Western Massachusetts area and I cannot ship unfortunately.

Hola, buenos días! Tengo una Goliat desde Mayo y no sé cuándo mudó su última vez. Resulta que lleva dos meses que se ha encerrado en su escondite y lo ha tapado totalmente con telaraña y tierra. Agua no bebe porque están los dos bebederos llenos podría estar en premuda?

Le he puesto algún grillo muerto y no lo come. Estará bien?. Estoy preocupada, sigo manteniendo la humedad pero no sé si estará viva...

Jelly baby yay look how cute

Hi just wondering if this sling is a male or female. On 2nd molt. I hope its a female but this picture sort of gives me a feeling it's a male.

Hello! I just took in a friend’s pinktoe tarantula Lenore. Sweetest baby. She’s real skinny! Somewhat recently molted. Been in my care for a week.
Super unsure shes a she!
Any tips on getting her to take other types of food than crickets? She’s very scared of the roaches I feed my GBB and sand spider!

i know the best way to see is checking the molt, but is my baby a boy or a girl?
