So a couple months ago, I made a really stupid and avoidable mistake by accidentally leaving the top of my Gbb sling’s enclosure off. After tearing my room apart trying to find her, I kinda gave up. It's just now hitting me that I really did lose my second-ever tarantula and that it was my fault. My Az blonde just decided to block off the entrance to her hide, so she won't be seen for a while and now I'm thinking I should maybe get another Gbb. But at the same time, I worry that I may make the same mistake and feel that I cannot trust myself to take care of another delicate sling. Should I get one or should I just enjoy my Arizona blonde?

I thought it was funny

I am very concerned about my T, she is missing hair on her bum and I don’t know what it means

I’ve been looking a to get a pink toe t and I’ve done research and my biggest concern is the inclosure for the pink toe the biggest problems are size and ventilation I know that a pink toe need cross vent but can’t find a inclosure for that and one got any inclosure that could do the trick?

My giant white knee was molting 2 days ago. So, I walked away to give it time. I just checked on it and it died while molting. This would be it's 3rd molt. I got it when it was about the size of a pin head. We are in the middle of a heat wave and my house doesn't have a/c. We don't really need it...usually. It is very moist in the set up with good air flow. Is it possible that it got too hot? My spoods have a fan for them. Anyhow, I am very sad.

I have an Avicularia Jurensis and when I got home, it was in the top of its enclosure laying web, in what looks like a molt mat in my absolutely uneducated opinon, and it seemed to... like practice laying on it? then got up and kept spinning? Is this normal? And if they're spinning a lot of web like that, should I offer them an extra meal for the energy?

My tarantula (mexican copperhead) won’t really eat and I’ve never seen her drink. I’m not positive but it seems like her butt has shrank and I’m really not sure if she’s dehydrated or sick. Her cage does lack a little bit of humidity as my room is pretty dry so I’ve been trying to use a spray bottle and room humidifier to help keep a little moisture in her cage, but it always seems to evaporate due to her heat pad. Someone please lmk what I can do to keep moisture in and if there’s anything wrong with her. Also not the greatest picture because her back legs make her butt look bigger than it actually is

I'm home from work and just fed and watered pinky. Seems this spider is becoming more and more popular. With more and more deaths reported by keepers, I just wanted to rant a little. Forgive me if I seem to talk myself up. Anyway, i purchased pinky from a big box store. I thought, as many do, one size fits all. Oh how I was wrong. From the hops to shooting poop, that wasn't even the beginning. They need much more than we provide for them. Keeping them safe from predators seems like an all inclusive luxury vacation. WRONG!! The husbandry is the most important aspect of keeping these critters. Simple things like being able to have freash air and water is the best start. I doubted my ability to take care of this spider, but, it just won't die!! I'm more than thrilled with my ability to keep pinky going. He/she hates to be in my hands but LOVES to soft skin of those who do not lift a finger to pay our bills.

It's easy to redirect and figure it out if you do the research. Not everyone keeps the thermostat the same. These creatures need somthing different compared to other "beginners" species.

I don't have 47 old worlds and a few thousand new worlds, I just have the one for now. All this is, I just want to bring awareness to those who are not. They are easy to care for if you do it right. Pinky is devouring a huge cricket right now, freash water, and I'm going to shower up. Keep it up freaks. Spread the word. Spiders are the answer to true happiness or solace, if you will.
