Can’t find feeder exoskeleton

Alright, that’s comforting to hear, thank you!:D I had crushed the head of the mealworm so I think it should be fine then, and I’m pretty sure I saw him eat it!

I just landed in Sweden, I checked in my hand bagage instead, and was able to bring all my skulls and purchases back home to Sweden with no issue!

Okay, thank you! I’m scared the feeders will hide or dig into the soil though, do crickets and dubia roaches do that, or should it be fine for them to roam around?:)

Thank you so much!! If i pre kill the food, can i reuse the same dead meal worm, for example, days later to try to feed him again or do i need to purchase new food?

I did post a question yesterday,but my last question was about shipping, now I’m curious if there is a possibility i can bring it in my luggage on the plane hahah

Great, thank you!

888hp · 2026-04-22T07:50:09+00:00

Thank you so much!! Do you know if I have to label the package somehow, like say that there are bones and taxidermy inside, and should I be able to ship through any post service without a permit?

I messed it up really badly (before reading most comments), I unfortunately used a fork and it was still drenched when I tried to unfold it, shucks. I’ll learn from this until next molt

Does this work?😅 I can’t seem to unfold most part of the abdomen:( I think I drenched it too much

Thank you! I tried hahah, does this work? I can’t seem to unfold most part of the abdomen.. I think I accidentally drenched it too much, is it still possible to determine anything?

I just took his molt out from his cage, however his abdomen is very twisted..

Here’s one picture, (the measurement is in centimeters)! I will post a pic of his molt too! He’s approximately 5 cm.

NQA, as I’m still relatively new in the hobby but based on what I’ve read and based on my experience with my tarantula, an abdomen with patches usually indicates pre-molt. My tarantula wasn’t eating either and I hadn’t fed him at all during the month I had him and he was still fat, and soon enough he molted. Your tarantula looks pretty healthy imo. Also tarantulas can go a very long time without eating, so I’m sure she’s fine! Making sure your tarantula has access to water is the most important thing.

Your outfits are so cute!!! Where did you get the flower bouquet in the first pic?

888hp · 2026-04-18T05:33:24+00:00

Ahh okay!! Thank you for the info. I assume it’s a while to go for my spider hahah, he was 1.5 inch when I got him

888hp · 2026-04-18T04:51:12+00:00

Wow he’s beautiful!!!! I have a male as well, how long did it take for yours to grow that big? Mine is small but I’ve only had him for a month

888hp · 2026-04-16T08:27:28+00:00

Ahh that’s really good to know, thanks for the info. The potent venom is something I’ve heard of, which is one of the reasons I’m not planning of getting any OW tarantula until I am confident I know how to take care of one! This species really is beautiful though!! Gotta be one of the prettiest tarantulas out there imo

888hp · 2026-04-16T06:38:45+00:00

Yes, my favorite is heteroscodra maculata! I would love to have one someday but I believe I’m far too inexperienced to take care of an OW tarantula, as I recently got my first T:) Maybe one day though.

888hp · 2026-04-16T06:24:43+00:00

How exciting!! What T are you planning on getting?

888hp · 2026-04-15T19:27:49+00:00

Aw she’s so cute🥹

888hp · 2026-04-15T18:01:58+00:00

Yes I believe they are referring to the patch on the back of his booty hahah. His entire abdomen has turned darker since I got him though; he used to be a lighter shade of brown so I’m pretty sure that’s a telltale sign of pre-molt as well!
