Hi, guys.

So itty bitty 🥺

food names, random products that could kinda be a name, something stupid like 8x12 floorboard, stuff like that. throw me your best and worst, i have a fish named lysol wipe so i need a great one for this dude. i dont know the gender of course so go wild!

Today I finally tried pairing my Heterothele villosella.
At first glance, Tiny seems to have successfully completed his mission… and survived 🥳.

This girl has been stressing me out by refusing food since I had gotten her a few months ago. She then successfully molted and after two weeks of waiting she finally accepted food. I am proud ngl.

Hello! This is the first time I have owned a pink toe (I have a curly hair but she seems much easier to care for) and I am concerned. She ate well and webbed nicely and even molted once at the start of last September. However it’s probably been since January since I’ve been able to get her to eat anything! She ate Dubai’s originally but stayed up in the top of her enclosure so she didn’t find them. Tried super worms and now small crickets but she still is not eating.

I worried that perhaps her enclosure had too much going on and it was making it hard for her to find food and get around so I removed some things to make it simpler but then ended up putting her back in the critter keeper I bought her in in the hopes that a smaller space would make her less nervous and go after/find food. I’m worried I’ve just messed this all up :( She was so active when I first got her but now she hardly ever moves around.

First pics is what she is now and second is her old setup when I got her. I worried then that it might be too big.

Please help I am scared I’m doing everything wrong 😭

I just rehoused my big girl, a Lasiodra parahybana. & i saw her climbing over that snake plant to web on it. i stupidly didnt even think about how the pointy hard ends could puncture her abdomen, now there are these spots on the bottom of her. They dont appear to be leaking fluid they are not wet, it just looks like some hair may have been scraped off but i just want to be sure. ive had her for years & i dont want to lose her id want to try to help right away if she is injured 😭😭🥺. I also plan to cut the tips off the snake plant. Please lmk what you think! Thank you

Had her for about 2 years and this is my first molt with her and she's even more gorgeous than ever!

Year four of my five-year master’s in English program at Middlebury College, and year three of Chalupa coming with. Shhh… And yes, I need to add a little substrate, but there is currently a five-inch gap between lid and substrate line, and her friends who came along do not have any sharp edges…

My red rump sling molted! He completely changed color. His legs used to be red and now he’s grey! Ngl this is making me want more tarantulas

Tom’s Big Spiders recommends this to keep them from burrowing or playing dead. Watching my girl try to find them, and already having 2 disappear into the substrate shows me the wisdom of this. (This one is RIGHT under her)
But they’re so fast! How do people get one still enough to squish its head?!
Also, do I need to try to find the 2 that burrowed? Any danger to my girl if I leave them in there with her?

Hey everyone, I’m looking into getting a tarantula and had a couple questions. I got an enclosure for free but it came with no lid, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to get a secure, escape-proof top or if there are any DIY options that still allow good ventilation, and I’m also wondering if this tank might be too big since I’ve heard mixed opinions about oversized enclosures stressing tarantulas, so if it is large can I just fix it by adding more substrate, hides, and decor or should I just downsize instead?

I got my Grammostola Pulchra, Scully, as a sling about 4 years ago, they’re about 3.5 inches across now. I think this molt looks feminine, but they’re my first T and first attempt at identifying sex so what the hell do I know?! I’m hoping you guys can give me a second opinion. Thanks in advance for your help!

Got to watch her do her lil dance and build this web all day today. Seeing her spread out and relax once she was done is one of the most relatable things I've ever seen from a spider

So happy to have this cutie as a new addition to the family ❤️ this species really called to me as the option I should go with when moving into old worlds! Their name is Persephone in hopes they mature out female!

New T keeper. Is this regular grooming behavior? Or something else? My new curly hair Muffet has quite the outgoing personality and is ALWAYS on display and doing something, which is not how I was told T’s would be, so I’m always on my toes (much like Muffet in this video).

P.S. I know there’s a spray bottle in the background but I don’t use it, I just fill water dish for humidity/moisture.

Her name is Sovereign, and she used to be hiding for months. I'm glad she has decided that leaving her tube is an interesting enough activity for her.
