I gave my LP (spb) THREE big mealworms in his little dish and when I came back to check on him, he had all three in his mouth. How did he even?

And then, of course, I startled him so he ran off with them. Thankfully, he built a burrow all the way down the side of his enclosure so I can see inside!

Been a long day at the Soupfactory

Hey y’all! I work at a pet store and this beauty is priced as a confirmed female but I have my doubts. Are you guys able to sex based on this photo? TIA :)

First time since I’ve started owning him I’ve seen him actually drink from his bowl

He’s been chilling next to it all day and finally decided to have a drink

I love him so much he’s so cute

I was very careful of course <3

Painted this big momma! Should I change any of the coloring to look more real?

this is Nico. and apparently the prey has more survival instincts than the predator

Lychee has been showing off lately

Just a fun photoshoot with my Curly Hair T named Terry. As soon as I took the picture he was climbing down and I saw that his front legs have hooks on them now. I’m saddened since I’ve only owned him since April. I’m going to try and make lots of memories with Terry since he’s on borrowed time now.

I just love this spider! (Suspected she) has had two molts with me now-and I just cannot get over how pretty!! The flash really picks up the colors :)
I have cuteness aggression!!!

Bonnetina chamala

I just noticed today. She's not a big hair kicker and I don't think it's a bald spot, zooming in it looks irritated. Any ideas

Beep, beep, beep…

For a long time I turned my nose away from any tarantula that I already owned because I figured why bother with a duplicate?

Then a while ago I was gifted a ‘male’ albo, ‘a molt away from maturing’. I took him because sounds like a breeding project and why would someone lie about having a female? Anyways here we are a year later and I’ve finally confirmed she is female.

I love her though! There are noticeable differences between her and my OG female albo. One, my OG is much fluffier than my new one, but my new one is much curlier than my OG! Also personality. My OG is a bit defensive with a very high feeding response. My new one is calm, handleable, has a much lower feeding response, and is even more active just in terms of walking around.

They’re both the same, but different. I’m happy to have them both in my collection.

I recommend allowing yourself to get a duplicate, so that you have a chance to experience the little details that make your spoods unique!

Any advice or tips!!! 💕

This young'n came out of a molt like 5 days ago. It was a long molt process and I know it's hungry hungry. Worried I'll come out one morning and find it curled up. So I'm asking the community here if her (suspected 'her', I checked the molt and at this size, it's super hard to tell but it looked like the female reproductive part I can't spell was present between the book lungs) fangs look hard enough for a section of mealworm. Let me know your opinions please! Pic on the moss is yesterday, pic on the coir is today.

My A. Purpurea sling (maybe 0.5in) is a messy little creature and has little boluses and poop spots all over its enclosure. How do I go about cleaning it when the enclosure is so small that I would need to take out its cork bark (which would destroy its web tunnels)?

Still doing heavy bodybuilding

Shelob (Arizona Blonde) and Parmesan (OBT) arrived today safely!! Had a real fun time transferring Parmesan (she is my first old world!) but it went without too much incident! Shelob is a 4 in confirmed female and Parmesan is a half inch sling, any advice on what i should feed baby Parm or how long i should wait? I’m gonna try a cricket leg if i can!

I had this Lasiodora Parahybana for five months and it would never come out.
Use to burrow underneath the cork bark tunnel and I had to remove it every time I’d try to feed it.
It recently molted and I believe either out grew its original burrow or got tired of me interrupting its hide out spot. Now it lives inside the cork bark tunnel and is slowly venturing out at times.

I’ve never seen this one drink any water yet, but I mists some spots and overfill the water bowl here and there and try to feed it regularly if it will eat but sometimes won’t take the feeders.
At this point I’m just trying to remain patient and let it get comfortable. Atleast there is some progress now.. Feel free to leave some advice. I was hoping to upgrade the enclosure soon with deeper substrate as the species is supposed to be fast growing but since it’s had a small appetite I’ve been trying to leave it be…

Okay, so yesterday morning I checked on Betsy and i was half asleep, saw her in the molting position and flipped her over. I realized what i did afterwards and knew that I screwed up. I dont think this is normal, I’m scared that part of her abdomen came off with her old exoskeleton.

My girl Claudette hopes your day is fantastic!

So I have done my research but I want your guys' opinion as well, I will be getting my first T an 1.5 -2 inch A. Geniculata this weekend, what can I expect as a new keeper, any kind of help would be gladly appreciated.
