Oh, and I can definitely see her crunching that cricket! Can't wait until mine comes out of this molting process and I get to see her go crazy on these crickets I bought her. How often do you feed yours? My local pet shop didn't have the larrrggeee crickets, just smaller to average, so I was...

I just wanted to say thank you all to the responses, and help! I got him more substrate and dampened one half about two days ago, seeing as they like a bit more humidity than rosea. Basically dampened it by overfilling his waterbowl a bit then sprinkling some water here and there in the corner...

Couple more photos from tonight's handling. These are all taken with my phone, but I really liked the first one (6207). He's still been very calm and easy to handle, still rejecting food.

Pretty guy! ;) I'm guessing from the blues it is a male? (Or the lighting? lol) I can't recall correctly but don't the colors make it easier to sex Haitian? I just skimmed over a care sheet and information on them -- I've been crazy busy! She's been refusing her food, though, and I did read...

Haitian Brown? Thanks! I've been wondering why she looks so different compared to Rosies! (Right after a google) Oh my gosh, you're totally right! I had no idea, I thought I was handling a rosie. I will definitely use more caution from now on, but she has never seemed very agitated before or...

The photos didn't attach since I am posting this with a mobile device, so I am adding them in the comments.

I finally found myself a Chilean yesterday! ;) Or so I believe? I am completely new to owning tarantulas, however I have been doing research on how to care for one for months -- and considering it for years...Much to my family and* boyfriend's creeped out ness, lol! I just happened upon the...

This is an awesome post, can't wait until my next molt. When I saw the image of the needle holding open the tarantula's sex organ, though, I thought "Next, your agitated tarantula will flick hairs into your eyeball. But don't worry, if this doesn't agitate your skin or eye quite enough he OR she...

No words. I just joined this forum to ask a few questions about my first tarantula (I'm not too sure she is a rosie, but what do I know yet? ;)) and this set up is BEYOND amazing! Can't imagine the time and work that went into it. My "OCD" would kick in if I hadn't filled one square with an...
