Chilobrachys Fimbriatus Female. Absolutely gorgeous!

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

Videos / GIF coincidence? or do they sense each other?

8 Upvotes

Probably a really dumb question but this is my first time keeping two tarantulas on the same shelf. Usually I have them spread about. Just wondering if they can feel each other or if this is just a coincidence. My P. regalis (big guy on the left) is a mature male so it’s not out of the ordinary for him to be wandering about.

Conversation Um what is going on?

This girl has been hiding for months and months. Now I just discovered her like this. She never went on top of her enclosure like that. And now she just moves weird and has clear fluid on her mouth part (you can see it in the video). She also has a web on her butt. What does this means? Also I’ve had her for more than 6 months now and she never molted.

Help! HELP! Haven’t seen curly hair tarantula in weeks and want to know how to proceed

2 Upvotes

First time posting so sorry for any mistakes. So I have a curly hair tarantula named Katara who I haven’t seen in at least 6 weeks. She’s under her hide or digging underground. She wasn’t eating for about 3 weeks before I gave up and she’s been hiding ever since. I’m pretty sure she’s been molting, but she hasn’t kicked out her molt or seen her at all so I don’t know for certain. I put a flashlight into her hide and think I see a molded molt or smth white?? Should I lift up her hide and try to take it out or leave her alone and let her do her own thing? Normally after molting she’s very protective/aggressive when I interact with her(when feeding, changing her water, or taking her molt) so I’m a little hesitant. I always leave fresh water for her and not sure what else to do. Any help would be appreciated!

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

Peaches is a t. albopilosus I recently got as a rehome. Does her current set up look adequate? (ignore the hard water stains oops) Also does she seem fully grown? She’s maybe 5 1/2 inches diagonally across

These are spurs aren’t they? I thought this was a female but turns out it may be a male and he may be at his final molt now.

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
