    20 yr old Rose hair stuck carapace molt

    Hi all, I have been caring for a 20+yr old rose hair at my university for the past couple years-- she is a "class pet" for the invertebrate zoology course. I'm rather fond of her even though she hates me. This past weekend (9-16) she molted as she does every year/every other year at this point...

    How old is my Tarantula and is the animal male or female?

    Hey guys. My first post. My first Tarantula. I don't know how to sex or age my Tarantula. I imagine more photos would be required to make this determintaiton, but the spider prefers to burrow. I purchased the spider three days ago.

    Is this G. Rosea sling?

    Hey guys I just wanna ask you if this is a Rosea sling? I bought this one last December and the seller (which is someone I know) told me that it was a B. Albicep sling.

    Is this old age or can I save her?

    Hello I adopted my rose hair about 12 or 13 years ago so I’m not sure how old she is or how long her previous owner had her. I’ve kept her in the same enclosure I adopted her in and fill it about halfway with loose coconut fiber substrate, since her glass tank is too tall for her (I think it’s...

    Should I be worried?

    I have a 6 year old Chilean Rose Hair named Elise. I'm a textbook overthinker so I may be worried for nothing but I'd like another opinion. She has recently stopped eating, has spread a thick layer of web along the entire surface area of the substrate in her enclosure, and has been picking up...

    My Trantulas arent eating

    I have two Rose Hairs, one male close to adult or possibly already there, and one adult female aged about 8 years. Neither of them have eaten in months, probably around 3 or 4. I dont think the female is going to molt, she doesnt seem darker or anything, and the male molted in October of last...
