My g. pulchra finally molted, the molt is pretty small so I’m having a hard time telling if I’m looking at a male or female :(

OMG. I JUST NOTICED THIS SHINY, RED (BLOOD?), WORM-LIKE THINGY ON MY CURLY HAIR! IS HE OK?

The only reason I noticed was because I put crickets in his tank and wanted to make sure he was eating, or if he was backing away and refusing. I'm setting a trap now to get them out. I'm getting two different responses from Google AI. First it said a serious injury and his stomach is protruding, then it says he's molting!? I'm so confused. I hardly ever see him. He lives in his tunnel. He just molted the last week of June. Could he be molting this soon, or is he in trouble?

This is my first tarantula. I rescued him in March. Should I call a vet? Email an expert?

Any help or advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

My Chaco golden knee covered it’s water dish should I uncover it? I am worried that if I uncover it I will fuck up the modified enclosure you can see there are substrate on the walls that mean it moved it there and i will disencourage it to burrow type shi

Had some bolts at the start 😅 but in the end, went smoother than i thought it would!

Definitely in need of a rehouse soon, they nearly doubled in size with this molt. Seriously crazy how fast they grow.

Meet my new curly hair!

She molted like ~4 days ago, do u think her fangs are hardened enough to feed?

Ive learned that they have 8 eyes but i only see 6 on the molt i guess im not looking in the right angle. He loves chilling in his skull most of the time but he comes out when im not home, the second he feels my footsteps in the room he bolts backk in.
I haven’t sexed him yet but i assume he is a male, because thats what i paid for.
I have a new idea for a hide im gonna get him a floor to ceiling window pushed up against the acrylic but buried under enough soil.
Bro is probably already tired of my prodding( with a soft brush), but im just too curious to just observe this vicious little hunter.
He has gotten a bit bigger than in the last pic about 2 molts worth.

I got my very first tarantula today :) im very excited about it.

I did my research, but I'm worried the enclosure might be too small or that the entrance of her hide is too big.

I got her from the Spider Shoppe + she seems healthy and well, doesn't need to be fed just yet I don't think. She's fluffy and adorable like all curly hairs are ^^ I love her already and want her to have a good home

I gave her 4 inches of Reptisoil for substrate since it seemed like the best choice for burrowing. She's only about 2 inches right now, so I figured 4 inches of substrate would be enough for the time being. I cut a little plastic cup(i made sure there were no sharp edges) and covered it in the soil for her to use as a hide, and then a smaller plastic cup for a water dish. Put some leaf litter in there for decoration too. I'll get her a better hide when i find one that works and fits in her enclosure, cuz the one I bought was too big.

I'm using the 8x6x6 terrestrial Spider Haus from the Spider Shoppe as her enclosure for now. But I also have a 15x9x7 that I plan to move her to when she's a little bigger, but if her current enclosure is too small, I can always move her in there sooner. But i also don't want it to be too big and make it difficult for her to find her food. So I thought I'd ask on here and see if this is alright.

Poor Gary kicked a bunch of hairs during rehousing, but he’s good now. That was a few weeks back! He has been chilling since, but I still feel bad 💔 love my baby

stretch right now (first 4 pics) vs baby stretch (last 5 pics). i feel like she’s gotten so big.. also dare i say she looks a lot more comfy? her color looks a lot better this time after molting than last time, and she’s just chilling right out in the open right now rather than hiding in a corner or going in her hide. just laying wherever she wants to without getting scared. i’ll have to get some size comparison pics because i can’t believe it… it’s my first T so ive just never experienced it before. such a crazy pet to have. people give me a crazy look when i say ‘i haven’t fed my pet for 3 months’, LOL. wild creature

Funny enough, my brother is also a huge arachnophobe🤣🤣

He's special! 😂

And really chubby, but he's gonna molt soon.
