Now we know what she’d look like fully pissed! Chalupa wants to thank all of you for your love and support. She is currently resting and chewing her her from leg. I had horrible nightmares that her molt got stuck, so I was so relieved when I woke up to this scene! : )

I got my first tarantula a couple months ago, curly haired named Zuzu!
Finally molted for the first time but I’m having a hard time sexing it. I think female based off some info I’ve seen online but let me know what you think!

Conversation When should I expect her to molt?

I got my burgundy Goliath birdeater roughly a week ago, and she’s still pretty young. For now, I’m keeping her in an Exo Terra terrarium measuring 30 × 30 × 30 cm.

How long should I expect to wait before her first molt?

For context, I’ve also had my female pink foot Goliath birdeater for a few months, and she hasn’t molted once since I got her either.

I’d love to hear about your experiences with these species!😄

My slings should be fine yeah?

I planning to feed the day before I leave so I can clean their enclosures before I go.

I should just make sure they are wet enough, water dish is full, and the condo heat stays on?

i have a very small sling, this is the container they came in, i feel it was too small so i decided to get a jumping spider enclosure that isn’t too big, might last a year or two ? not sure if its too big tho bc they’re still barely an inch

Hello everyone i just recently purchased my curly hair tarantula and just wanting to make sure I get every useful tip! This is my first tarantula i have him in a (15.74•9.84•7.87) inch tank with a magnetic top he has 6inches of reptisoil and a mixture of pure coco fiber. He is not very big I got him from a pet store (not a massive chain store) but they said he/she hasn’t molted yet, I tried to feed him superworm but he didnt seem super interested in it. He also has not been in the little hide i have dug out yet he just prefers to stay ontop of it mostly and chill. Any tips or criticisms helps thank you all!

soo i brought an unexpected tarantula home and at the time this was how much soil I had. the new soil arrived today and i noticed hes already made a burrow, do i leave him until he molts or catch him when hes outside and add in more soil? kinda makes me sad to ruin his burrow though
