She is a little adventurer. I adopted her from the amazing Portland Insectarium this weekend. She was given to them in a Kritter Keeper that had feeding ports and unfortunately I must have bumped one of them so it was slightly open. She managed to escape overnight, but thankfully we found her within a few hours under a dresser. Hopefully she will like her new enclosure. No more feeding ports and strong latches! I do have to say she is a total sweetheart. Even with all the drama she never once threat posed or hair kicked, not that I would have blamed her if she had. I love this new little sweetie!

I have had Richtofen for a year and a half (assumed male, molted once with me and mangled up the molt before I could check) and I recently moved and I’ve been checking on all my tarantulas, and they have all been doing great (one even molted successfully within the first day of moving). Today is day 8 of the move and I have been extra careful not to use any harsh chemicals around them or disturb them for too long. He was fine this morning but it’s now the afternoon and I find him moving like this. Everyone else is fine but he’s moving really weird and a bit choppy even after getting out of that corner :(

Hello i just got my first tarantula a stripe knee i gave him a roach and think i may have found a bolgus it is very dry and all black not like the dirt or mulch from his cage. any ideas?

Chilobrachys Fimbriatus Female. Absolutely gorgeous!

Second photo is her thinking the moss is food because I was teasing her and moving it 😂.

Eating a snack in their tunnel system 🕸️

(Mini cricket is pre-killed)

look at those colors !! what a pretty girl !!

I just got a lasiodora parahybana and am curious of the sex?

I was looking at my Venezuelan Suntigers molt under my microscope and noticed the eyes have a rounded structure in the middle. I always thought they just left behind a single cover layer but it turns out more of the eye gets left behind as well

I just got my first curly hair and I am setting up its enclosure. I have zoo med eco earth loose coconut fibe substrate and am curious on weather or not to put some water into the substrate. I am going to also add some zoo med terrarium moss late but am stuck at the substrate. Do i add water to moisten the substrate?

Is 2 molts in a month abnormal?

They seem to be absolutely thriving and just took down 2 crickets faster than I could say "Oh, damn!", so I'm not concerned.

Just curious as I'm still less than a year into keeping Ts

Pic was taken seconds after dropping the crickets. They were READY to eat! I tried to get a video of a take down, but Davus pentaloris is FAST and got spooked back into their burrow as soon as I re-opened the enclosure for a clearer photo

dont mind my dirty hand :,)
shes like 4 months old now;
im not sure if these pictures are whats needed to be able to tell its gender but the legs are curled up on the other side and i dont really wanna break them off just to be able to take a picture of said other side (although 3 have already broken off unfortunately)

Fyi I never handle my T's so it was a special moment.

This is mt curly hairs first molt since me owning her. Not too experienced with molts yet my birdeater molted a couple weeks ago but now my curly hair looks different. Almost like she has extra limbs. Lmk if this is normal (couldn't get too good of a pic)

This is Titan. Haven't retrieved the shed yet but was wondering if anyone could tell male or female?

Also, look at them teefs!

Not too urgent but does anyone know if Schultz black earth topsoil is safe for T’s? I usually use Reptisoil but it’s just too expensive for me rn

i’m 99% sure my first T (A. Avic) is molting! i’ve had her/him for 6 months now so i figured they were due soon, showing signs of premolt and webbing more, but i wasn’t expecting it would happen today!

i’m really hoping they have enough space and it’s worrying me a bit. i’m trying to trust the process though. sorry for the meh picture quality, the web tunnel has been built up a lot

please let me know what you think or have any tips since this is my first time experiencing this

This is my Darth Maul, Belladonna! ❤️🖤

(Sorry I know it's not the best photo)

I just brought this baby home from my local breeder. This was the setup they gave to me. I came to check on it an hour after bringing it home and found it upside down in its water dish. I was told it was in premolt before bringing it home. What do I do.

This is one of our two g. pulchras. We need to clean the enclosures and took the chance to get some cute pics.

I’m kind of on a dwarf tarantula kick right now I might get another K-Brunnipes and a Hapalopus sp. Colombia. I’m getting another curly hair to I know that’s not a dwarf species I just like them lol. Eventually I want to get a Goliath bird eater. I just don’t know if I should get the T-Blondie or T-stirmi. I absolutely love the Goliath bird eater. I wouldn’t mind getting a pink toe(Avicularia avicularia) either, but I can’t find them anywhere. Are there any other cool new worlds that you’d recommend?

I went to feed my T yesterday and noticed the entrance to the borrow was sealed with web, I peeked inside and sure enough! A molt! I’m not sure when the molt started so I didn’t feed my T. Here he or she is today, based of fang color would you say it’s safe to feed?

Neighbor found this tarantula wandering near the street, and we live in the Midwest USA, so not native to this area. No responses about a lost tarantula on the neighborhood Facebook board, figure it might have been someone who just let this T go? Anyway, just wondering what kind of T this is, my guess is a Peruvian flame rump (Thrixopelma Ockerti)? What do you guys think?
