My GBB molted a few months ago and since then has had this spot on his abdomen. It's not elevated and is almost pink or beige colored when looking in person. It's hard to tell but I think there's hairs growing out of it? This is the best picture I could get.
He's still acting completely normal...
I don't have a lot of access to live food that small where I am, but I will definitely look around. I didn't even think about those little cups, that would be perfect! Thank you for the advice.
Hi everyone, I have an Arizona Blonde sling who is over a year and a half old and only has a leg span of about 1cm. I know this is a very slow growing species who can tolerate long periods without food, but I have been concerned lately. Last year my sling completely stopped eating during the...
Glad to hear it! I'll be keeping a close eye now, maybe I'll get to see it in the process of molting (and finally get a good enough molt to sex this one).
So, my juvenile L. parahybana has been extra skittish and hiding a ton lately. I suspected it was in pre-molt but was not certain, so I went ahead and left a pre-killed meal worm in the enclosure just in case. I just checked and it had indeed taken it, but once it was eating I finally got a good...
Not sure if it's too soon but I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the sex of this little fella, I cant for the life of me get a fresh molt and I'm not experienced enough of a keeper to trust my own answer. I'd appreciate any input!
I will admit the enclosure I have it in is probably a bit too big for the sling. I have some nice travel sized containers that I want to move my tarantulas into with either damp paper towels or moss. I'm usually pretty quick with my stops and I'll probably only need to stop once or twice so the...
I'll be moving to a new state in 4 days (it will be a 7-8 hour drive) and I just noticed that one of my 1 inch slings is in pre-molt. Is it safe for the little guy to travel right now? Or if it happens to molt before I leave is it safe to travel before it's hardened back up? I can't postpone the...
Sad update
I just peaked again and well... I was pretty startled to see what i believe to be mold covering my T from head to toe. I dont think he made it. Any recommendations? Any clue what happened?
I'm really glad to hear that. My T was just so active in the couple months before closing off the hide that I think seeing them so still for so long freaked me out a little. I've been wanting a tarantula for the last 4 years and it would break my heart to lose my first one after only 4 months. I...
I got my first tarantula back in June this year and let me tell you how exciting it was (and still is!) It's a lovely little honduran curly hair. I suspect male but I'm not too sure. It's definitely not fully grown. Last month it closed off its hide and has not come out since. I really hoped...
