I chose help but really I am looking for more experience/advice on this species. I was under the impression that A. geniculata has a pretty quick growth rate. I have had my around 2” sling for over a year and it hasn’t molted once. It doesn’t seem to have any issues other than it can be a weirdly “picky” eater. I was also under the impression that this species was a veracious eater, but mine seems to just be blasé about eating most of the time. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with theirs?

Just traded out my mature male Tliltocatl verdezi for a beautiful Arizona blonde and need help deciding on which enclosure I should use. I have a top opening cage I just moved my pre ious T out of that is only 6 inches tall which would minimize the fall risk but not allow for a ton of soil depth, only 3-4inches. I also have a front opening cage that is 12x12x12 but the substrate can only be 5 inches in the front, leaving a potential 6 in fall height. Which should I use? Are neither okay?

Monocentropus balfouri (1cm) (Socotra Island Blue Baboon)

Psalmopoeus reduncus (2cm) (Costa Rican Orange Mouth)

Davus pentaloris (1cm) (Costa Rican Tiger Rump)

Omothymus schioedtei (1.5cm) (Malaysian Earth Tiger)

Psalmopoeus cambridgei (1.5cm) (Trinidad Chevron)

i already have a curly hair,a gbb(juveniles) and neoholothele incei and psalmopoeus pulcher slings! i think i feel ready to try with some old world tarantulas

My tarantula has been molting for 2 days and looks like this now is she done or is there a way to get her out of this. She still twitches and moves her legs around sometimes so she may be hanging in there I just need to know if there’s a possible way to save her asap

Betty turned purple after this last molt. On the bright side, he is in fact, very handsome.

I just got Indie yesterday as part of a group of 4 tarantulas and some surprise dubias. (The cup is just the travel cup.) Indie is my dream tarantula that I've wanted since childhood. The other three I bought were a C elegans (Griffin), a L sazimai (Cezanne) and an A germani (Kong). They joined my other three a curly hair (Charlie), a Mexican red rump (Nimhe) and an A seemanni (Mazapan).

Her name is scarlet and she's oh so sassy and beautiful. 🥰

i’d like to find some large enclosures (at least more than 30x30x30) :)

This is the enclosure as of this morning for my juvenile B. smithi!! It finally closed off its enclosure this morning after working on that on and off for a little while. I’m so so happy, as I was starting to get worried since it hadn’t molted and I’ve had it for 2.5 months. It was always very lethargic, and I was worried it was sick, but now I think it was likely in premolt and just nervous at first. this is my first tarantula so I’m a little bit of a helicopter mom, but I try not to disturb it at all. A few weeks ago, I saw webbing for the first time and would occasionally see it exploring the outside of its hide, but now it’s finally closed itself off!!!! Hopefully we’ll have the first molt soon and I might be able to sex it so I can stop calling it “it”.

If any of you have advice for what to do with molts and what to look out for while it’s molting, let me know :)
