A few days or 3 seems normal. I’d just make sure they have access to water nearby and wait another day, if you’re still really concerned you could try to gently poke their toe with a soft end of a paintbrush to prod them out of their spot. But personally I’d just leave them be.

I’ve noticed most of the time my arboreal species do molt on the ground of their enclosure unless they are heavy webbers. They need a flat surface.

Sorry for your loss.. but you did what you could. He was a very handsome boy!

Thank you for the thorough advice! I’ll try anything at this point, so time to give rehousing a shot.

As title reads.. My Aphonopelma chalcodes hasn’t eaten in over a year. It’s been probably a year and a half at this point. I have tried superworms, mealworms, dubia roaches. She simply swats them away and refuses to eat. I know this species can be like this, so I wouldn’t be (and previously was...

I was on the same boat as you. Always scared, always hated tiny little house spiders but once you make them 100x larger and fluffy they were suddenly adorable to me. My first was an Aphonopelma Chalcodes and like the commenter above said, I totally recommend them too. Personally, mine is...

Also, I’d like to mention she had ate only 2 days before this. She seemed to be doing great up until this.

So.. I have a few questions and also I’d love to hear from more opinions/tips from experienced Avic keepers. I picked up my first itty bitty Purpurea sling on Sunday 9/12 at a local reptile expo in town from a great tarantula vendor. I was unbelievably excited for this one and snagged at a...

I definitely wouldn’t look at his videos for “advice”... but I do still like watching them. He doesn’t ALWAYS prod, poke and patronize his Ts. I cringe when he does stuff one handed, like there was one where he was shipping out a bunch of slings - from beginning to end - one handed on his bed...

Hey guys I’m just wondering what in your opinion is your best “display” T? Meaning, never or rarely burrows and is usually visible and out and about when you go to check on it, plus is also just plain beautiful to look at? Not worrying about handle-ability

Dropped prekilled prey in for my Pumpkin Patch at 4:30, it wasn’t interested. Checked back in at 6:00 and it was already flipped over on its molt. That was fast

Was surprised this morning by a little white thing moving in my deli cup Took a closer look and my Nhandu Chromatus is looking like a tiny ghost spider

Thank you! My first slings, so I wasn’t used to seeing things webbed up instead of completely disappeared!

Munching away on a chopped mealworm segment after a recent molt. She webs a ton and has some eaten prey wrapped up (See top left) Would you guys go ahead and remove the prey/webbing in the process? I almost feel bad because her webbing look so cool!

A. chalcodes first meal with me! Didn’t think she would eat as she’s been camping out in her burrow but it was a nice surprise Also question: Trying to understand portion sizes.. if a feeder is slightly on the smaller side, like this mealworm, would you feed them seconds when they finish the...
