Brachypelma is dead?

[AndrewClayton]

8months it says sorry**

Sorry yeah it does look over an inch. Keeping these guys a little warmer they grow really fast

 

[AndrewClayton]

I have sent messages I’ll update as soon as I get responses

Little tubs like this are ideal for they small terrestrials

And one like this for the very small arboreal,

if you get that Irminia it will need something bigger to begin with like one of these 2

You getting another T for that big enclosure in the meantime? Looks good for a pokie, getting an adult female Regalis would be good, it will more than likely have passed by the time you're G Rosea is big enough to get use out of it. Obviously pokies are old world and if you don't feel comfortable enough don't do that. Other suggestion, although, being new world lives a good bit longer than the pokie, so you probs won't be able to use that enclosure for the Rosea is a sub-adult female Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens (GBB) they enclosures are great for semi arboreal T's and GBB is a great beginner T.

Also I'd probably start a new thread now that the previous issue is all resolved and we now know it's a Grammostola Rosea were talking about and not a Brachypelma or Tliltocatl lol, that will hopefully get more people helping too, the more the merrier.

I would still love help from you and Casey since the stuff on the internet that I find is 5-9 years old and nothing new…………….
I’m starting to feel like this has to be taken more seriously since it’s very hard for new keepers and you never know the ratio of people starting and I really like to investigate into it.

Also not a lot of people in my country has or dealing with tarantulas and the ones that do never answer to any question or message sent to them.

Most likely you both saved my tarantula for many years more!!!!!!!!!!!(hoping it’s a female )

And by the way I haven’t rehoused my tarantula yet since he closed all he’s borrows after I fed him and I read online that it means he goes premolt in that situation and it’s better to rehouse him later if it’s not emergency or really important at that moment.

And about this terrium I’m not sure if I’ll use it for now since I’m scared and not sure about getting grown tarntula since I want prefer to see how it’s grows and spend most of his cool moments instead of buying him before he will die beause I can’t trust the age and gender of tarntula’s I buy from people I don’t know…

I’m thinking about getting that small tiger t I sent photos of because I have spare enclosure and this tarntula looks cool and why not

Thanks for reading and giving me time appreciate it much and I could pay you guys tips for the help I would do any day!!!!

@AndrewClayton @Casey K.

 

[Casey K.]

Sometimes tarantulas burrow for several reasons....not just to molt. I don't see any harm in rehousing it if you want to. Usually, if they're in premolt, sometimes a rehouse will help induce it. Especially if you mist the enclosure or increase the humidity in the soil. Just open the burrow and look at the spider. As long as it's not laying on its back, you can transfer it.

 

[AndrewClayton]

What @Casey K. Said is sound.

Also not a lot of people in my country has or dealing with tarantulas and the ones that do never answer to any question or message sent to them.

Come on here for advice, get plenty of clear photos of whatever you need help with and we're here.

Go for it having 3/4/5 T's is very manageable even for someone just getting started as long as you're going for relatively hardy species.

 

[tomervayn]

Yeah much better bro. Post some pics when it's all rehoused.

 

[Ratmosphere]

Looks good.

 

[Casey K.]

Nice setup.

 

[tomervayn]

Hello guys, nice to be here again, my baby tarantula has grown up so nice and fast since the last time we have spoken and I think that I need to change enclosure soon? Just wanted your opinion

 

[Ratmosphere]

Could you post some pics of the T?

 

[tomervayn]

this

 

[Ratmosphere]

Looks good to me!

 

[Bearface]

NICE! TY for the update.

 

[tomervayn]

Hey guys I need help immediately please I hope this gets anyone’s notifications not too late..
So in the last few days I heard noises usually at night of him moving around the enclosure and doing stuff but I ignored it, kept making sure he has water and food


I just checked him now and noticed weird black pieces inside the enclosure so I follow the track because when I looked at him he seemed to be eating something and the black stuff lead me to a huge pile that he was eating or destroying from the background and I am really worried that something bad will happen
What to do please advises

 

[Eighth Eye Blind]

Well it's not like you can rush him to spider ER and have them conduct emergency surgery. Whatever's done is done . . . and I strongly suspect that nothing bad has happened so you might as well relax.

Some T's love to chew things up. I have one that keeps sticking a fang through a hole in her enclosure and trying to snap off a piece of plastic with it. She's been doing it for months without any effect but she still tries hard to snip off a piece on almost a daily basis. I know that others have a strong addiction to munching on metal screening. Animals can be dumb.

If that background is Styrofoam I wouldn't worry too much about it. That stuff is pretty inert. I suppose it could cause a digestive system blockage but that's assuming that your T is actually swallowing it. I seriously doubt that he is. He's most probably just chewing on it for the hell of it or because he knows that it'll freak you out and he's trying to mess with you.

I would just chill, remove the background to quash his source of temptation, and see how he does for a few days. I'm willing to bet that, like most things digestive, this too shall pass.

I am very very happy and much rest assured now because from the moment I noticed he’s actually chewing or eating it I was afraid that he might be stupid and eat it enough to hurt himself but I took a moment took out the huge piece of the background tried also to pick up the rest of the mess he made but it was too deep and messy so I left it like that till my new enclosure will arrive and I will make one without that background
