T's can go months without wanting to eat, just because they want to. We have 2 Aphonopelma chalcodes & 2 Aphonopelma johnnycashi & neither species are very big eaters. All 4 go months without eating & 2 need smaller food, to encourage them to feed. As larger food seems to stress them. But as...

In the past I have watched T youtube videos & personally the only one I found worth watching were Toms. On the law of averages, there must be others out there worth watching, but personally I never found them.

The first record of Parakeets breeding in the wild within the UK was in Norfolk. I do not know where exactly, but it was in 1855. And what the wiki link shows, is that just because we think of somewhere as a hot country. It is not always so right across the whole of India. Some seem to forget...

Welcome to the forum.

I found the following when looking something up for my ring neck. https://www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk/news-and-articles/articles/all-articles/london-s-exotic-birds-make-norwich-their-new-home I know every species is different, but it does show why species from places like India do not...

It is several decades since I had anything to do with snakes. But we only used warm water & not all snakes enjoy it. Some stress when offered water, even if it is at the correct temperature. Others love a bath. We offered a shallow bath, just over body depth at the deep end & simple warm water...

I feed my springtails with dried yeast & then if the enclosure is a little dry, I then give it a mist, so it activates.

I really must relabel our Pterinopelma sazimai's.

Welcome to both the forum & the hobby.

Here we feed weekly, but we remove uneaten food from a good 10% of our T's. Brachypelma's are one of the most common species we remove uneaten food from, & we find size makes a big difference, to some T's. Slightly smaller is more likely to be eaten with some species. We do not offer food to...

I have a couple of Selenocosmia crassipes, which are Barking Spiders or Whistling spiders & which come from Australia. Their venom is very potent on dogs & has been known to kill an Australian Shepherd dog is as little as 45 minutes. But it's venom is no worse on a human than any other...

Tarantulas do look very different when younger. I have a couple of juvi pamphobeteus & they are not looking anything like they will as adults. Plus, a lot of the photo's that we see of adults are different to how we see them with our eyes. I brought a purple bloom off someone several years ago...

Hi. This is just a guess. But most tarantulas who go walk about are Mature Males who are wandering to find a female to mate with before they die. When a male tarantula matures they have just one thing on their mind, reproduction. And things like food & water come second to that. A mature male...
