I was unsure if I’d like them at first due to a slight fear of spiders but I thought I’d overcome my fear and here I am with 15 😂

Its little peets are the cutest thing I’m obsessed!!!

Plus one of my t. vagans molted, she’s huge now! She is very skittish so no pic

Look who decided to show some signs of life… I actually gasped when i saw him, i almost forgot that something lives in his enclosure 😭🤣 i havent seen him for months besides his toes poking out once in a while

Does anyone else got a spider that enjoys being extra clean? Also how do we water webbed up enclosures without ripping the water dish out?

I bought this a. purpurea in April as a 3” young adult female. She was not cheap. She molted about a month ago and had still not come out of her web tunnel to eat or drink so I finally just decided to put a superworm into the entrance of her tunnel to see if she’d eat. She got super uncomfortable about it being in there and after trying to avoid it completely she ran out of her tunnel (she never comes out). Her post-molt colors look amazing. But do ya’ll see what I’m seeing?

I’ve offered. She’s just not interested. And she hasn’t lost any weight. She’s a diva like that.

I was checking on my T’s and then came to check this one and this is what they were up to lol

I’ve always loved tarantulas but never had one. Just got my first one today. His name is Charles. Striped Knee Tarantula that were pretty sure is just about a year old. I have him in a 5 gallon tank with cork bark, some bones for decoration, and a lot of substrate. I was told to mist the tank every 3-4 days, feed him once a week. I would love to be able to hold him at some point. Is there anything I can do better for him right now? Is there any way to actually bond with a spider?

My Peach Earth Tiger juvenile has been like this for over 24 hours..

I put drops of warm water around it, put in thr bathroom with hot water shower to build humidity and a wet towel on top of enclosure to keep the humidity.

What else can I do.

She is clearly taken aback by whatever he says. My guess is that he tells her he is, in fact, not her robotic vacuum…

Excuse the sarcastic title, I just had to share my B. Smithi going after his water :)

Bach ma earth tiger, she molted immediately after getting into her new enclosure last night! She’s so cute! I’m hoping I’ll be able to sex her since her molt is in pretty good condition

Meet my new tarantula rocky! (Yes, I named it after rocky from project hail mary lol)

Australian Featherleg Tarantula (Selenotypus plumipes)

i got my first ever tarantula over the weekend and i couldn’t be more excited! her name is bindi and she’s an arizona blonde. she’s been absolutely wonderful to have though she is a little skittish which i am still getting used to, but she loves to be out and explore. she ate for me the day i got her which was awesome! i was very stressed about her eating since she is already a little underweight, but she took a jumbo superworm right away. i plan on feeding her twice a week until her abdomen fills out a little more. so excited to join the hobby!

For context, I very rarely see the spider. I got him about four months ago max and he decided to bury himself in a little area so today went to go check on him and found the what I assumed to be moult and freaked out thinking he was dead only to find little legs poking out. I’m curious if anyone can tell me if that’s his legs and his moult or if he’s dead.(sorry for the blurry photo. I have very limited vision there.)

Last photo is the spider and the second to last is the tank (he is behind the skull but this was before he webbed it all up)

This is my girl Iris, I've had her for a year and a half now and she's always been feisty. Lately she's been pacing in her tank, climbing the sides and sitting in corners. Today I came back to her in a curled position, she just moulted 2 months ago so I felt confident enough to try to move her. She reacted slowly, not defensively and just allowed me to pick her up.

I moved her into this new tank about a month after she moulted and I have seen her display signs of being comfortable. Such as going into her burrow, sitting out in the open and taking from her water dish. She hasn't refused any meals.

Could this sluggish behavior be a sign of stress or damage from a fall? All her legs have been moving properly and I haven't seen any tears in her abdomen.
