Hello everyone,
I have had Tula my Mexican curly haired tarantula for about 2 years now. I purchased Tula from a website called Jaime’s Tarantula’s as a juvenile tarantula. My plan is to raise them into adulthood and enjoy my fuzzy pet.
however I am concerned at the rate of growth for Tula. They have molted about 3-4 times in the time I’ve had them, but have not molted in months. Tula also has a bald spot on their thorax and has had that for about 9 months with no molt to accompany it.
I feed Tula live meal worms (3) each week. If I attempt to feed them everyday, they don’t eat the worms. I keep their enclosure temp at a 65-67°F temperature.
I also noticed that Tula drinks a lot of water. I have to refill their water dish everyday, sometimes twice a day.
does anyone know why my Tula isn’t molting and why they have the bald spot?
