    Extended belly?

    Thank you for clarifying, and for supplying additional information. I always try reading more about these spiders, and have been since I posted this too. My conclusion has been that their enclosures have probably been too dry, I am currently trying to rectify this in ways I see recommended by...

    Extended belly?

    Thank you This is a picture of my other P. Irminia (today is the first time it’s shown itself like this for a couple of months), the difference might explain my doubts.

    Extended belly?

    Thank you for your answer, I conclude that my spider is as healthy as its neighbor. I have done extensive reading on tarantulas and the specific kind I have. The reason I asked was because the belly seemed too large, and a few of the videos and websites I’ve seen (from channels and pages...

    Extended belly?

    I am worried about one of my Venezuelan Suntigers. I have two at the same age, and they are not fully grown. One looks “normal”, the other has a different color stomach that seems very extended. Can someone tell me if I should be worried or not? And, if possible, what I can do? It is hiding...

    Changing terrariums

    This one has mesh on top, I can’t use a terrarium with mesh on top with my spiders. They’ll hurt themselves. When adding the new custom lids (I’ll have to buy two), it gets complicated..

    Thank you for the tip, I will look for it :)

    Changing terrariums

    I suppose we could look for a size in between these two. Buying the nano tall, and then new tops again + all content will take a long time (+things are very expensive in Norway). Thank you for answering, I will find something that is in between the two in size

    Changing terrariums

    I have two Venezuelan Suntigers that currently live in what I like to call “temporary housing”. (Something medium sized so they have room to move without drowning.) My “grown up”-terrariums is the Exo Terra Mini Tall. I have changed the tops, put in plenty of substrate and more than a few hiding...

    Rehousing my tarantula

    I’ll find some water bowls, sounds like that is the better choice. My spiders can, as of now, hide behind a large root and behind their fake plant. I’ll buy some bark to build a third one, hopefully that’ll do. Thank you.

    Rehousing my tarantula

    Noted, I’ll be looking into more cover. As is, there is plenty of hiding space behind/under the root and behind the plant. I’ll look into more options. I’ll also be getting some water bowls. Thank you. :)

    Rehousing my tarantula

    Thank you, that is what I’ve been reading and seeing on YouTube in my research if this kind of T. :) I will try to measure them more precisely, it has proven to be difficult with all their webbing and hiding in their self-made underground.. caves? Something like that.. Do I need to buy a hiding...

    Rehousing my tarantula

    I need a water bowl? I’ve been told I can chose to spray water on the sides of the enclosure too, that it works just as well (considering they get most of their water from their food anyway). Is this incorrect? I’ve also been told that they will make their own Do I need a water bowl? I’ve been...

    Rehousing my tarantula

    I have two Venezuelan Suntigers, and their new enclosures just arrived. I’ve bought the Exo Terra Mini Tall, and am currently waiting for a replacement acrylic top to keep them safe from getting stuck. My questions are: 1) I’ve filled the enclosures with substrate up to the door, and added a...

    Molting and feeding of Venezuelan Suntigers

    I contacted the seller directly, she updated the listing and made it easier. Thank you for your feedback, I would’ve never known. :)
