    Carapace "indent/notch/etc"?

    Can't seem to be able to get an image to an uploadable size that isn't blurry, let's see if this works -

    Carapace "indent/notch/etc"?

    Hey all! Still relatively new to hobby, and my Xenesthis sp. Bright just molted to the largest size I've raised a T up to thus far - I'm horrible at guesstimating inches, but probably at least 5.5 DLS or more. Anywho, it's emerged from it's den after about a week or so, and I noticed a sort of...

    Caribena Versicolor keeps going to ground level

    Hey all! Newbie to arboreals, but the last couple days I keep finding my C. versicolor chilling on the substrate of it's dram vial, which has been bugging me out a bit. It's eaten well in the past, as I gave it cricket parts in it's web up top, and sprayed a very small amount of water every few...

    Burrowing slings + water

    So my G. Pulchra, as I've seen is very normal, has been in it's *adorable* lil burrow for quite some time now, which I know not to disturb or worry too much about. But one question: with the general idea of slings needing more attention to water, how can I effectively deliver water to it if it's...

    Setae/enclosures

    Oh my gosh. What a saga, that video... glad your dog and T are both okay, jeeze. I'm sure accidentally ingesting some hairs could've ended up horribly. Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll definitely keep all of this in mind. My G. Iheringi has a *significant* bald spot similar to raphael's T...

    Setae/enclosures

    Hey all, newbie here. So in different husbandry videos I've watched, they'll say something like "and you can see all the hairs they've kicked there" and I don't know if I'm blind or what because I feel like I can never see the loose setae in the enclosure... does anyone have any...

    G. Iheringi ready to pounce

    Not a high quality image but the pose was perfect with the cricket Also as much as I’d say this is some kind of Assassin’s creed style leap, this is just my Grammy’s stationary pose at the time it was taken

    What's my T doing?

    Just out of curiosity, Can anyone tell what my sling is doing? Haven't seen it doing this before, cleaning itself or something? The movement caught my eye so I grabbed my red light headlamp, but I know it's still hard to see amongst the moss. Not concerned or anything, just wondering what sort...

    Newbie questions

    Oh my god, that ball rolling gif is to die for. Thanks for the info - I'll keep that in mind about abdomen to carapace size, wasn't sure if there was a certain ratio or something, but just "not bigger than" makes that much easier. Should I be concerned about my sling hanging out on the very edge...

    Hey all!

    Hey everyone, new to the hobby here. Started with a G. Pulchra just a week ago, like many others currently (that deep black is too enchanting), interested in arboreals or any beautiful webbing T's in the future. Have researched a good bit but looking forward to learning a ton more! Just want to...

    Newbie questions

    Hey all! So I'm new to the hobby and I've done a good bit of lurking and research, but I can't help but be bothered by the same questions. Could anyone tell me if my G. Pulchra sling looks to be in pre-molt? The booty do be lookin plump to me, but I'm not sure if that's my untrained eye and...
