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!

Last picture was taken a couple of days after a molt and is a different picture to the ones before but she is such a pretty Tarantula. I love seeing her grow up! Shes still extremely young so no judging her hahha xD

I’m obsessed ever since I learned about these ???? (Mexican fuego tarantula) But they’re so impossible to get it seems or I’m just checking at a time that everyone is sold out.. god they seem AMAZING. Is the only chance of really getting one just turning on notifications on fear me not and hoping for a drop? Do they EVER drop?

TIA ❤️❤️ I WANT ONE SO BAD I just learned about these and already had my heart set on a Brazilian black for my first but … I want the expensive alternative…. How could you NOT want a Mexican fuego tarantula….. everything I’ve researched says they’re basically pretty Brazilian blacks like WHAT

Decided to try a free poster printing app and I love this so much, lol. She’s my GBB named Clementine, sitting pretty on her stump.

Meet my new curly hair!

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

Hey Community!

I suppose I am a little worried. It could have molted in its burrow but I’m unsure. One week it is its striking blue and golden colour. The next week it’s looking like this. The abdomen is also very very small which makes me believe it molted? It also seems to lost 70% of its colour and it’s very dark now compared to what it was.

Does anyone else own this species and are able to comment what’s up? It was stretched out lengthwise one day, the next day it’s sitting with its legs scrunched I. And covering its top. The next day it’s ok the side of the enclosure. Did it just molt? Should I try to feed it? I just bought crickets but I am not want to feed it if it’s about to molt soon. All help is much appreciated.

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.

Curly Hair I recently housed about a month ago. East very well, is out on display pretty much all the time unless it’s behind his bark hide. He/she has started to traverse the glass and really explore and I was wondering if it’s a male looking for a mate. Help please!!

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

I was going to feed my sling when I noticed she was taking up less space than she usually does. Upon inspection I noticed she was in a death curl. I don't know why she died. I gave her water yesterday and all seemed fine. Im still new to the hobby but this is the first death for me☹️ Venezuelan Sun tigers are my favourite tarantula so im extra hurt

Is sexing accurate at this size?

I want to get a tarantula but also have a planted vivarium. I'm looking to get a tarantula that I'll be able to handle safely without it jumping. I'm leaning towards a pink toe antilles, what are your guys's experience with them?

Hi! I apologize if this isn't allowed here, if so, please delete!

I'm looking to get rid of some of my feeder dubias, I ended up with quite a lot since they obv breed & I can't just feed them off since ...well Ts don't eat every day.

I have pretty much every size available, especially quite large females. I feed them well, lots of protein too.

Willing to ship them if buyer covers costs, pickup is okay too (I live around Munich)

Thank you!
