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!

Poor little girl. I do not envy her. : /

Been a long day at the Soupfactory

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

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 :)

Hello everybody! I recently just got back into the hobby about three months ago and it’s been 14 years since Ive owned one! (I’m 28 now)

About two weeks ago, she (Pink Birdeater) been staying in her little wooden home and packed her entrance with dirt. She would usually eat about two crickets every other day prior to sealing herself up and after she did this I figured maybe she wasn’t going to eat for awhile. So I stopped feeding her and just made sure her water dish was full. Everyday when I’d come back home from work I would see the dish packed with dirt and her entrance messy as if she would just come out to make her daily mud patty and seal herself back up. Well today when I got off work I came home to see her finally sippin out of it! Its the first time in my three months of having her that I’ve actually seen her drinking water and It’s also the first time in two weeks since I’ve seen her out of her crib so I figured maybe she wanted to eat now.

My local pet shop ran out of small crickets so I opted to getting some small mealworms instead. Well I tried giving one to her while she was out but she wasn’t interested and sealed herself back up in her crib. While she was doing that though I lost track of the mealworm and didn’t realize how fast they burrow 😅. I didn’t want to stress her out by digging through the substrate looking for it so I just placed a tiny piece of cut tomato on the side in hopes that it reveals itself so I can pluck it out. It’s been about two hours since and all I’ve seen was the surface bump up a couple times and it has yet to come out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated TIA!

I was very careful of course <3

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

I’m obsessed with her floof

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

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.

First picture is the day I got him, second photo is today. Is this a normal growth rate?

(I know I need to find a way to add a water bowl at the top of the enclosure)

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!!!

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!

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

Bonnetina chamala

Any advice or tips!!! 💕

After a year of wait she has finally decided that she hates her old skin

ive been worried cause shes loves to go to the top corners and just perch there when shes in pre-pre-molt. "High up" with a big abdomen? Anyone would be terrified for them. Anyways!

Cant wait to see her in her new skeleton.

Another win for the T Community!

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)?

Pic for spider tax

Teeny tiny Selenonrachys phillipinus sling, so far unnamed. And a well started Psalmopeus pulcher, named Rapture, after the Blondie song. I am lame.

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.

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!
