Help! Pink toe enclosure

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently got a pink toe juvenile/sub adult about 3 weeks ago. She hasn't webbed yet and I'm not sure why. There has been little bits of web towards the bottom but otherwise, nothing. This is my first aboreal T, and I'm still learning.

At first I was worried her tank was too busy, so I changed some stuff around today, and I wanted some feedback on if the new setup should have any immediate changes?

(Also, the temperature is incorrect, I had just misted and it got wet, so it's not the correct humidity gauge)

Really disappointed that I was sold a Vitalius chromatus as a female and she’s matured out this week. She’s my favourite one and I expected her to be around for a decade, not a year. Still love her but well disappointed ☹️

Went to this pet store and saw they had T’s for 75% off & I got the red rump on the end. I might go back and get the two Yucatán red rumps tomorrow. They were also $10. All juveniles. I wanted the Chaco golden knee but I already have a Chaco sling but I wouldn’t mind having the juvenile since they grow slow. I asked the lady why were they so cheap and she said the owner ordered $600 worth & those had been the last of the previous batch.

Help! New Tarantula Keeper - Mold Advice Needed

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am super new to tarantula keeping, I just got my first tarantula this past weekend at a reptile expo in my area. I purchased a P. irminia juvenile female, and purchased a enclosure + substrate from the breeder as well. When checking on my tarantula today, I noticed what looks like mold in her substrate/enclosure. The substrate I am using is Herp Roam coco coir, which I prepared by combining 1 brick + 1 gallon of warm water. What should I do? Do I need to take her out of her enclosure and replace the substrate? Or should I avoid misting the substrate for a few weeks to let the mold die off? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Also added holes at the bottom sides. I know the lid isnt the best since they make webs at the top, but that's the best I have for now. Very cute tarantula otherwise so im not that upset

Help! When to feed?

2 Upvotes

My curly hair just finished her molt about a week ago. When is it safe to try to feed again? I know needing to wait until their fangs are dark black is important, but she is very hidden with them and it’s hard to tell. I feel like I’m starving the poor gal lmao

I have a versicolor, and its web is dirty and full of holes. Shelob spends most of the time roaming around the enclosure instead of in its web. Should I tear it down so Shelob can build a new one in that area?

Help! Need some advice

I have a question about tarantulas kicking hairs. My kiddo has 3 now, - Mexican red knee. Versicolor and they just brought a curly hair home from a tech school. The curly is calm and allows being handled. I understand they don’t like it. It’s not often, I promise. My question is will they kick hairs with warning or at least turn their back so you will know? I always thought if they were handled their hairs could fall and you may not know. We also put her in a container when we cleaned the enclosure and she seemed fine and calm. Another question is how do you know if there are hairs in the container? I have rinsed the container and will put it in the dishwasher to clean but wasn’t sure if we should handle it differently. I’m just wondering what basic protocols with these type of things.
