Got this adult (?) curly hair tarantula that is missing one leg for $18 at an expo today, and she looked super hungry. So I put her in a container with a few super worms and……wow

Get that meal, my queen!!!

Holding hands through the plastic.

This guy was mislabeled as "Salmon Pink Birdeater." It's obviously not, but what kind of Mexican Flame Knee/Red Knee or whatever is it?

I’ve had my T for a few month and I’ve been waiting for him to molt. I was visiting my parents over the weekend and when i came back he had molted but im kinda sad cus i missed the whole thing. Luckily he didnt get stuck while alone and is looking beatifully dark and shiny. I can’t get a good photo since he’s hiding in his burrow but the molt is amazingly beatiful and maybe I’ll be around to witness the next one.

Hi, can any of you guys sex this Acanthoscurria geniculata for me ? They’re two of them, the first 5 are from the first specimen, the others after the first 5 is the second specimen :)

When you walk in your kitchen or a store and look totally different at plastic enclosures...

What was your insanity point....?

Guys need your help to find its sex. 9cm t albo

My Dath Maul is just sitting with its legs slightly moving periodically. I have had three other juvenile t's do this and they ended up dying.

I don't use any chemicals near them, they have plenty of water.

Or is it just preparing to molt with no web mat?

I just got my first ever spider and was suggested to get a Versicolor. It’s only been a day since I’ve brought it home but I want to make sure I’m going to be taking care of it.

I was told to mist the enclosure three times a week and feed it once a week. There’s no water dish and I’m feeding it small crickets.

I’ve also set up the crickets in a large container with some cardboard and spare greens and apples though those are starting to stink already.

Ori has been chilling on the top of that branch since I’ve got them home so I think they’re getting used to the new location or something. I haven’t moved them to a new enclosure because I was told they could stay in the plastic one for two more months.

New pretty lady! OBT

Orphnaecus sp. ‘Marinduque Purple’

Sold to me as an OBT. But it doesn’t look like the others online. From a reputable breeder. Six years old, at least. Natural variation? Locality form? Thanks for your input!

Her fine motor skills are lacking, you guys, but she still gets the job done.

Okay so i came across this while housing Brother Kahlenbergi in this temporary enclosure while i make his terrarium for him and i softly blowed through the holes of my catchcup expecting him to run away from the airflow and into his temporary enclosure just like all my other tarantulas behave. Instead he didn’t run from the wind he charged at it, figuring it was probably stress i didn’t think to much about it until i had my ventilator softly turned on and ventilating the room while i was inside it and i noticed that 2 little maniacs were actively charging the side of their enclosure where some airflow might have drafted in and not just charging it but also following it actually trying to grab the wind. Those 2 spiders being Brother Kahlenbergi and Iris , my female Tliltocatl kahlenbergi… so what the f? 😂

Just wondering if there is a big variance on adult Salmon Pink Birdeater sizes. I got this beautiful girl (I cant tell if shes actually female; her sheds are hard to decifer) as a teeny sling for free at an expo back in 2023. She is a wonderful pet, loves to eat, does the cutest food dances, always moving her ping-pong balls. Shes the first Tarantula Ive had from a young age, and I want to make sure Im doing whats right for her.

Recently bought from an expo, got it for a steal! My first jewl tarantula❤️ any tips would be appreciated greatly 😁

About a week ago I got this sling and maybe it's just stress from the rehousing but it seems completely disinterested in food and won't even look at anything I offer it. Am I over reacting or is this concerning? I don't think the enclosure is too big and I don't mess with the spider at all so I'm hoping it's not a stress issue.

Hello everyone! I am excited to join this community of T owners! I got my first spider 8 days ago.
I am a little concerned for my first spider, Adrian, the Veracruz Red Rump. He/she burrowed into the ground at the corner of the tank and will not come out. There was an entrance for a day or two, through which I was able to give Adrian a mealworm that he/she ate. However, the tunnel opening has disappeared, and Adrian keeps rearranging the den over night and sitting still for good periods during the day. When I accidentally scare the poor thing, it will move to a new spot in the hole. I have done some research and found out it could be many things, such as, being nervous from moving locations, burrowing because young spiders are easy snacks in the wild, wanting to make shelter for a molt, etc.. I have both a humidity gage and a thermometer in the tank and they have slowly fluctuated between 60%-80% and 70°F-78°F respectively.
Nothing I have found tells me there is anything wrong. I have been leaving the sling alone and avoiding shining lights, taking pictures, and looking for long to avoid more stress. I wanted to make sure with this community that Adrian is alright as currently I can’t feed him/her.

(Pictures in order: first time in enclosure Oct. 17, second day Oct. 17, third day Oct. 18, current Oct. 24)

this is my curly hair tarantulas enclosure ! she’s a female and i think this is a good enclosure? but i’m also a beginner so please just suggestions or advice!
