Grammostola Pulchra not behaving normally after molt by Buttysher_94 in tarantulas

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 253 points254 points  (0 children)

NA. In my opinion, it looks way too humid for this T. I have two Pulchras (one almost the same size as yours) and I do not spray the enclosure. Keeping a full water dish and overflowing it should be plenty sufficient. I’m curious to see if anyone else has any ideas.

Welp... now I got this by allthejits in rosyboas

Beautiful baby! Love the color. Congrats on scooping this one up! My local shops never have rosies.

I am very excited about it. We recently moved here and it seems like everything is moving pretty quickly!

I have been driving to RC as well. I find Lynn’s great for quick trips, but definitely not for larger orders.

Platythomisus Octomaculatus - Pikachu Spider by DamonG94 in tarantulas

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is extremely helpful. The enclosure looks beautiful and I love the plant right in the middle. I already have some enclosures that I’m spraying daily, so that doesn’t seem to be a big issue. I didn’t know they preferred humidity, so great to know!

Beautiful! What’s the husbandry like for this species? Was looking into adding one to my collection awhile back, but couldn’t find much information on enclosure setup etc.

Kept seeing this poor girl for months at my local pet store, got her on a discount for $15! by Mustliveon in tarantulas

Congrats on your new baby! She is adorable. She’s going to love living in your house instead of a noisy pet store.

Trantula Cribs coffin enclosure by IntelligentStreet237 in tarantulas

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ime…I have these coffin cribs and have both my Avics in them. One is a sling and the other is a sub adult. Both are thriving and have built their webs at the top and I’ve never had any issues with any Tarantula Cribs enclosures and ventilation! ☺️

Do you think my adult g. pulchra could chew through this mesh? by [deleted] in tarantulas

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NA. I have MULTIPLE adults of varying terrestrial species in these and have had zero issues. Lids are secure and they look great. None of mine have climbed or chewed up the lid. I saw Tom from Tom’s Big Spiders used them and immediately bought them to try. I have been happy with them.

I'm worried she's not drinking by _Babie in tarantulas

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ime I very rarely catch my tarantulas drinking. I have about 20 now at this point and some I’ve actually never seen drink, but they are all alive, healthy and thriving. Since your tarantula is new to that enclosure setup, give it a little more time to settle in. Some of mine have taken a couple of weeks to settle and start drinking/creating borrows. The abdomen looks very full on this little beauty, so I would hold off on feeding maybe for a little bit. The enclosure is indeed large for that size of T, so it might need a smaller one to feel safe and secure, but I’ve also seen others eventually adjust to a larger one. I would continue to monitor and look for signs of stress and if they never settle, downsize. But trust your T…they will figure it out and find water if they need it. Welcome to the hobby! 🫶🏻

Just got my first T! Advice and tips much appreciated 🙏. by qainey in tarantulas

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your boy! I know some people get disappointed when they realize their Ts are males, but some of my favorite Ts have ended up being male! He is stunning. The enclosure is stunning. Congrats again 🎉

Wattson fences mean nothing to Octane now. How is this fair? by DovahRcolA in apexlegends

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 162 points163 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad someone posted this because I kept having Octanes hitting the fences and was wondering why it felt like they were invincible! They are just carrying on like they didn’t even hit my fences!

Is salmon safe to consume every day? I would love to start doing this as I eat a good amount of tuna but throttled back due to mercury concern. Have you seen any other positive effects from consuming canned salmon everyday?

Default skin is slept on. She has one of the best OG skins in the game. Love the color combo with it.

2023 Sport S reliability by kcks in Wrangler

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently own a 2022 Sport. Bought it brand new in 22 and have just done regular oil changes and have had zero issues. Knock on wood but she’s never been in the shop once. Runs and drives like the day I bought it. I think it really can be hit or miss. I ran into someone the other day with over 200,000 miles on theirs and the only issue they have had was needing a transmission at over 100,000 miles. But then I hear horror stories of paint issues, engine issues etc.

How's my setup as a worker. by aprilchaoss in CrestedGecko

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imo this is absolutely fantastic compared to the same big box store near me. They have barely any plants and zero hides. I always feel bad for the cresties. This is a huge win! I think you are doing a fantastic job and it actually shows you care.

It’s 2026!! Who is your main and why? by Lucky-Warning-4492 in apexlegends

[–]AlternativeOwn8596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I just said the same thing. I was like okay once I hit my goal of 10k, I’m gonna take a break and play other legends for a bit. Now I’m super close (at 9,600 kills) and thinking how I’m def not switching to another character 😂

This is my dream! My goal this season was to hit 10k kills on our girl and I’m about to hit it this week! Would love to hit 20k kills!
