It's winter where I'm at and I have a pink toe female- I keep her in her tank that's about 1ft tall and wide- yes I will move her into a larger one, I got her recently and that's what she came in. I know they like a temp around 80, and my room has a space heater that does make it toasty, but I have lots of windows and she'd be getting cold coming from one side of the tank. I set her up by a window and taped a small reptile heater against the outside of the glass that faces the window, and have been monitoring temp- it's staying steady at about 80. Is this fine, or will she get overheated? I don't want the space heater (which is close to her tank) and the small heater to be too much.

Miss Disappear decided to make an appearance this morning after hiding away in the burrow for almost a full 8 weeks. Not the longest time she's spent down there, but it certainly had me getting a little curious.

We just got a Green Bottle Blue (female) Help us name her!

We have 2 curly hairs Peter and Lucille but we’re at an impasse here cause the green bottle is so much more colourful we need want a name to reflect that

WANNA SEE OUR PREVIOUS RANTS THREADS?

i’ve been interested in getting myself a tarantula for quite a while - there’s a very sweet mexican red-knee sling at my local pet store that i’ve got my eye on… closest i’ve gotten to becoming a spood dad :,)

one concern i have, is that i live right next to a train. (window faces the tracks, it’s about 50ft away.) its very loud and usually causes vibrations to go through the walls, enough to shake my plants and lights at times. due to the vibration, i’m worried that i’d stress the little baby out enough to cause damage… i have no problem waiting until i move locations to adopt if that’s the case, just looking to hear from others that are more well-versed in that nature…

i’ve heard it comes down to the spider and how they adapt to their environment but i’d still prefer to weigh my options, since stressing the poor thing out in that regard would probably end me, lol… any advice is appreciated and welcomed!

Any chance to tell from the pictures if this beauty is a boy or girl??? TIA

Fawkes is spinning her first web!!! 😍

The tarantula that started it all for me has been acting kind of strange. Hopefully she's just in premolt 🤞🤞

Why is it that I must use Reddit ‘pronouns’ to post, but I see some don’t get filtered for not? I always get hit with a filtered notification if I don’t. Is there some way to remove that requirement?

Just got this baby today, I have already moved it into a big tank but doing some reading, it looks like you’re not supposed to have the baby’s in such a big tank? I have never had a tarantula so all help and advice welcome, like how to hold them and when… I have read some stuff already but any help would be appreciated.

Hey everyone! I picked up Alice here (Avi Avi, aka pink toe) at my local pet store a week ago. She rarely moves and has yet to explore her enclosure, eat, or drink water. I’ve read all over this can be normal, however, I’m just nervous wreck over it. My curly hair spiderling passed two weeks ago because it developed dks while trying to molt. Any advice for Alice would be helpful🙏🏻

Suddenly, Mad Sweeney, my P Irminia, has decided not to stay hidden 24/7 and has been out and about for days!
