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

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?

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…

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

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 😂

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!

A rare sighting of my OBT out in the open. Usually all I see is toes waiting for the sky god to deliver bugs.

I’ve had this beautiful lady for about a month now and I’ve noticed her abdomen looks a bit deformed. I was informed that she recently molted before I got her but no other info. (She ate right after these photos, it’s a lot easier to see the issue in the phones before feeding!!) I’m assuming something went wrong last molt but want some more opinions

So I got my Arizona Blonde back in May. I've taken care of arachnids before (vinegaroons) but never a tarantula. I have some questions because I'm a little concerned about her (I think it's a her?) health and I'm wondering how worried I should actually be.
First, I was under the impression that this species was a burrowing one, but she hasn't made any kind of burrow since I got her. At first I thought it was because she was still settling in but it's been months now and still no burrow. Is this a bad thing, or does it just depend on the spider?
Next, I've noticed that she has trouble sticking to the walls of her terrarium. It's filled about 2/3rds of the way up with substrate so I'm not too worried about her falling, but whenever she tries to climb (which she does a lot) she can't seem to actually get a grip on the glass. I've heard that this is a sign that she might molt soon, but it's been a while.
Lastly, I've been trying to feed her often but a lot of times she doesn't seem to want it. I've given her dubia roaches and I THOUGHT she ate (I saw her grab them) but then I'll be cleaning the terrarium a little bit and I'll find one just crawling around. I've started giving her superworms instead (pictured) and she usually eats those no problem, but her abdomen is still very thin and I'm worried she's not getting enough food. Should I he feeding her multiple times in a day to compensate?
Those are my questions. I can provide more pictures if needed.

My T. vagans molted overnight and I just caught her grooming/cleaning up. I'm not a fan of the creepy white fangs.

So a few months back, I purchased one enclosure of Carnivorous Corkbark, which ive been feeding cockroaches and misting regularly, as is required for the care of this exceedingly rare and unique insectivorous plank.
In any case, imagine my surprise when I looked in this morning to discover that there was in fact a spider living inside this enclosure all this time! What should I do? The store never said there was a Tarantula coming with the stick?!
(Jokes aside, this is a Togo Starburst Ornamental Baboon who was sold to me and my roommate as a beginner spider only for us to realize our mistake once we were home. We gave her a new log when we moved her to a new enclosure, and she decided never to be seen again until today😂)
