Kitty has dug her hole and is living down there. She seems happy and content. I add a pinhead cricket and let it run for a day, then take out. I make sure the water is full in the dish. I have settled my anxiety with her, she actually looks bigger, but I see no molt. She has a nice home...

HOLY COW! It was awesome. I bought Kitty some pinhead crickets. This morning she was still in her "digs". I added the cricket and the cricket walked around, la la la. Oh, what is this hole I wonder... Oh It was perfect! She moved forward a bit, slowly turned around and WHAM! Breakfast in...

Awesome, thanks!

Went to check on her and she was nowhere to be found. Then I remembered someone said she may dig in. Well, she sure did!! If it caves in, can she dig out? Will she come out to feed? Why do they burrow? Security? Is she stressed? My g. rosea has never dug. I am not panicked just yet. Does she...

Thank you so much @kormath (COOL)!!

Not sure how to tag... Here is her pic.

When I woke up, she was still in there. I coaxed her out and she is much larger than I thought!! She is the size of a water bottle cap. I just got back from buying pinhead crickets. I will offer her one soon.

She might be?? I will take a pic as soon as she comes out of her packing tube.

"Kitty" was delivered in good shape that I know of. She moved in her tube, but has not come out. Nicely packed with a heat pack. OMG!!! She is sooooo tiny!! Not at all what I expected. I expected a little bigger. I need to re-think the small super worm and get her pinhead crickets or...

Still waiting for "Spot" to arrive... Could not sleep last night knowing that she is on a FedEx truck, possible getting cold or worse. It is warm now, above freezing. I am going to change her name. My friend is terrified of spiders. When I was talking to his wife, Eddie was saying, PLEASE...

Spot has a leg span of 1.5". I figure g pulchra will be double the size of the g rosea.

I ordered an 8 x 8 x 14 acrylic tarantula cage from Jamie's Tarantulas. If Spot gets 6-8 inches, will this enclosure be big enough?? How different is the g pulchra from the g rosea?

"Spot" is on her way. She shipped out a few hours ago and will be here tomorrow. I am freaked with worry. I have her home ready. An Exo Terra terrarium, 7" long x 4" wide x 5" high with about 2" of the fine coconut stuff and a bottle cap of water. I need to add a cover for her. I have not...

MM?

WOW! I figured about a year! These is just so interesting! Sad, as if this is a boy (I hope not) their life span could be also most done!
