Adorable drinking photos :D Mine eats a lot when she is hungry, but being an adult she is only hungry once a month or so. She has actually just moulted (still in her hide currently) so hasn't eaten for a few months. Am excited to feed her when she is ready, she is my biggest T! :) Below was her...

Great collection :) I agree with the above advice. I only have one Pamphobeteus, a mascara and I got her as an adult so I've no idea about babies but mine (Mosag) hasn't webbed much, just slightly on her cork bark. The markings on the babies are so pretty :)

Sorry I am only just replying, I did read this shortly after you posted and it reassured me a lot that he shouldn't have managed to get to next door and may be more likely to be found as a wandering MM thanks! But yeah he could have got outside :/ the boiler is in that room so there is a pipe...

Thanks so much, thank you for sharing that it makes me feel less alone *hugs*

Thanks so much, glad you found your B. boehmei! Will do that, have also been looking out for sperm webs - so far I have found lots of webs from house spiders but none that look like his :(

Hi, I am really ashamed and angry at myself - Mr Freya my mature male T. vagans has been missing for a week now. I am usually so careful when feeding but I have been in such a bad way mentally recently, really low, struggling with my housing situation, damp, repairs, my relationships falling...

Thanks so much for the replies! That is reassuring to know :) will keep an eye on her and hopefully she drops it. I did have a Heteropoda who made a few phantom sacs and indeed always abandoned them after a while.

P.s. I also hardly ever see sp. Nong Ya Plong on sale in the UK - if anyone has a male or could direct me to anyone who may sell them I would very much like to get her a boyfriend!

Hi, Myrtle, my Chilobrachys sp. Nong Ya Plong has made a phantom egg sac :( She has never mated, was captive bred and has already moulted with me so I know it can't be real sadly. I can't find much information about this but saw a video mentioning that the danger of leaving the egg sac with...

It seems to depend on the spider's personality and the size of the prey, regarding when to feed living prey. If he/she is taking the pre-killed mealworm then that sounds fine for now :) and yes no need to worry about her hiding; it is probably a good sign that she is making herself a safe home...

Sorry for all my comments haha but I just realised you are a newish member so wondered if you have also considered fake plants for enrichment? I do wash these too in hot water first just in case they have come into contact with anything dodgy in the shop, and make sure they don't have glitter or...

Just read this - a fly catching plug in light sounds like a better idea than my fly paper if it works and doesn't have an odor? Has the light made much difference?

@Tarantulas&Cats - I did have a fly infestation over summer that my friend confirmed were just harmless fungus flies. I use moss in lots of enclosures, especially for the slings that web up their water-bowl; the moss holds the water so they can also drink from that. So I didn't really want to...
