Frogdaddy back at it again with the good advice! It amazes me how much there is to know about these creatures, I would have never thought to put the branch upwards as a way to make her feel more comfy. I will do that tonight if I can without touching her. The G. Pulchra is way smaller than I...

Might I add that the sling's name is Peanut :P

She was still in the jar that I captured her in when this happened and I had the jar resting with an open area for her to leave the jar into her enclosure when/if she pleased. She has since done so and I have removed the jar from her enclosure. Either way, she moved! Here is a photo of her and...

Hi Frogdaddy (love the name btw haha), thanks for your feedback! I would really appreciate (if you have time) if you could refer to my response to @ilovebrachys on this thread and provide any tips/suggestions you may have. I love the support of this forum and everyone on it, including you and...

Thank you! Her water bowl is full and I spritzed the tank and her with some water. She is acting very peculiar and had her fangs out and it looked like she was literally eating her leg last night? (as you can tell I am still fairly new to this hobby and am still learning how tarantulas...

Thanks Matt(?)! Your input is very helpful (as you can tell I am still pretty new to this hobby). Last night when I got her back into her enclosure she also had her fangs out and looked like she was quite literally eating one of her legs? Her rump is very small as she probably wasn't very...

My tarantula (avicularia avicularia) escaped and just reappeared tonight, she is about 1.5 years old. Although I have only had her back for about an hour, she is sucking in her stomach as described by this thread, super bizarre and something I have never seen her do before. She was gone for...

As some of you may or may not know, one of my T's escaped into a vent and was missing for about a month. She reappeared today and I could not be happier :') However, her rump is extremely small and she is (understandably) showing signs of trauma (for lack of a better term...). I got her in a jar...

hello! first of ALL- thank you SO much for this very detailed, thought out plan of yours. I really do appreciate the time you took to write all this just to help a fellow T fanatic! This forum will never cease to amaze me with the uncountered support & advice you all offer, I am so lucky to be a...

My little tarantula escaped into my friend's (who is scared of spiders) vent. Could she get into someone else's apartment through the vent? Is she dead from the heat of the vent? Will she show up randomly in my friend's apartment? Is there a timeline of when this might happen/where she might go...

Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for the tips! I will definitely not be feeding her a quail chick, as I would personally have a mental breakdown if I did haha. What about those chunky green worms that you feed to most pet frogs?

"when I am able to get my hands on one" Hahaha. I am curious as to how one would possibly catch a wild pigeon lol.

I accidentally put a bit too much water in her enclosure and now the soil is molding (this happens with my plants sometimes too because I overwater them, ugh.) The soil I was using was just what the person at the reptile store I got her from recommended and I do not remember what kind of soil it...

Can I give my T a special snack every now and then? Like a worm or betel of some sort?
