We just got our first tarantula last weekend it’s a Brachypelma auratum and it looks lovely, however the store we bought her from might have had a love for feeding it. Whats consensus a diet for a few weeks and wait for the moult to get smaller?

Hey. We have a curly hair about a year , and also a BHamorii young , not sling but not as big as the curly hair. So they have glass tanks. With hides , well the curly hair we haven’t seen for 10 days , she / he’s blocked his hide although you can see where he’s obviously coming out for water.
BHamorii, we picked up last Monday , he was in a tiny container so we xx got him home , put him in A glass tank , she / he also blocked his hide up at the front. In the shop he couldn’t even fit under the hide so when we settled her / him into his new tank , after walking around all of it. He hasn’t really been seen. Should we just leave them , or do we move their hides just so we can see they are ok ?
Sorry total newbie here , but I’m obsessed now and just want to check they are ok as haven’t seen them. Any advice welcome 🙏

Perhaps I am being silly but my curly hair tarantula (his name is Ocho) has been sitting like this in that corner for probably 3 days now. I know he’s still alive as I went to water his tank and he moved his leg but that’s about it.

For context: I unfortunately had to redo his tank entirely because I realized he needed way more dirt than what was provided. He ended up getting stuck in the corner, literally face down in the dirt because his hide was in the way and I think he genuinely couldn’t get out. How he got in that position to begin with, I have no idea. But anyways I had to move his hide which ended up tearing apart some of his burrow and I decided that was the best time to just redo his tank completely. Well he has not really started his new burrow and has just been chilling in the corner. Is he throwing a tantrum? Is he stressed? I’m not really sure what he’s doing. Any advice is appreciated.

Today I went and picked up a stripe knee tarantula and a Trinidad Chevron! The Trinidad is a sling still. But the stripe knee is full grown! The Trinidad is my first sling since about 2017-2018. Haven’t had one since my emerald skeleton… which didn’t go so well. So I’m hoping this one goes a little smoother. I usually try to buy juvenile to adult. But decided to give this little guy a chance. My next picks are: rose hair, Brazilian black, gooty sapphire, GGB, pink salmon bird eater, Indian violet, or the orange baboon. I’m currently up to five Ts since Christmas and am quickly growing my collection! If you have any tarantulas type suggestions for me, go a head and let me know in the comments! I am not gonna stop collecting till I have them all 😂 And eventually might even make my way into the breeder world once that’s achieved or along the way!

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to tarantulas, but I posted here last night asking for pictures to draw from. This picture is the one I picked out of the replies.

Reverse search says it's a Chilean Rose Hair (Grammostola Rosea) but I'm not sure.

This is my first time owning a tarantula. Does she have a good set up? ( pink toe ) also any tips on taking better care of it will be helpful as well thanks!

Sick at home today and thinking about if tarantulas get sick at all like mammals? Enlighten me please

Go, little cutie, go!

hi, next month im planning on buying some new tarantula enclosures and upgrading my whole tarantula keeping setup, ive got some fossorial species and id like to keep them all in the same brand of enclosure, what size enclosure should I keep them in, a 20x20x30cm or a 30x20x30cm enclosure?, im intending to keep the tarantulas in these enclosures for the rest of their lives and want the ability to house both large and small fossorial species, the links to the types in considering will be below.

Just got a Hispanolia Giant sling (quarter size) a week ago. Tried my first feeding, I guess he has been busier than I thought because it basically disappeared into the ground and now there is a hole and I can't even see the cricket (must've made some vast network of tunnels). I'm worried about the 24 hour leftovers rule. I would have to destroy his home to find it. Or because it's gone and not out do I still have to worry?

Is my spiderling ok I got him in December and it has been staying in one spot and barely moves and it hasn’t ate and the abdomen looks big I don’t know if it’s in pre molt or it’s sick help
