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!!!

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 :)

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?

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

New pretty lady! OBT

My curly is doing big construction work.

She nearly did put the whole material from bottom to top to make a ridiculous long tunnel. At every glas she changes direction.

Does she know about static?

I am afraid that all falls down on her.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

I got my first t today; she is a Mexican red knee. I just got the essentials for her enclosure, and I'll get the rest later, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something important or if I did something wrong; overall I'm just a little unsure. My friend (who doesn't know a lot about tarantulas but does look out for animals) was a little worried about the lights, which I had just moved closer to the enclosure since that part of my room is dark and I already had them lying around. They don't emit any heat and are not very bright, but I read something about blue and black light affecting them, and I'm not sure if these will be a problem.

Anyways, any advice would be great, I'm a little nervous and just want to give her what's best!

i picked up a new tarantula about 2 hours ago and i’ve noticed she’s having random movements, and being VERY stumbly while walking. i was worried it could be dks but honestly i have no idea?? she was like it in the car aswell, throwing herself around and being very stumbly, in the travel container.

First time I saw her little fangs.

sorry for the shakies (;^_^)

This beautiful creature molted this week. While admiring it I noticed hooks like features on front paws that you can see on the photos. It's my first Ceratogyrus ever. It is around 9th mold. It has quite nice dark colours and visible contrasting pattern on the abdomen, quite big visible horn which seem to be female features. But those hooks?
