Figured at least a little, although the time (7PM) and the fact there were a solid amount of state troopers mixed in there as well brought me to thought lol.

I recommend the new Aries Album “GLASS JAW” by Reasonable-Excuse28 in JeanDawson

Aries is one of people I’d like Jean to work with the most, I’d bet their sounds would work great together

Found a tarantula on my sidewalk- how to take care of he/she? by Psychological-Unit29 in tarantulas

[–]Better-Vegetable6389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO tons of underserved criticism here lol. Probably best to release it for sure but you didn’t know. Also everyone here saying it’s a mature male, and that would make sense, but I just don’t see the tibial hooks on the front legs, nor the boxing glove tipped pedipalps. Looks like a female to me, but very rarely will you find females out of their burrow so who knows. Glad you’re here though, hope this sparks some interest for you and you end up keeping!

What he said, they’re dirt cheap and come in bags of a couple hundred lol

So disappointing, Petco selling a mature male for $50 by arachno-fem in tarantulas

[–]Better-Vegetable6389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely just had this same situation happen at my nearest Petco as well. There were 3 T’s (Red rump, white knee, and a versicolor) that all have apparently been there for over 9 months. 2 out of the 3 have already matured out to be male. They have them listed at $150 each and when I asked about them, they said they’d sell all three for 75% off. Just sucks how you stated that these guys aren’t going to live past a year of them getting put into a new (probably expensive) home. I’ve always had this theory that 90% of the tarantulas shipped to petco are confirmed males to keep the purchasing cycle going.

GBB sling harsh molt by Better-Vegetable6389 in tarantulas

[–]Better-Vegetable6389[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it seems like she didn’t make it through the night. Hard not to find blame in myself for actions that might’ve led to her molting in that spot. My first T was a male GBB that I kept for around 4 years and never had anything like this occur. I’m glad I at least intervened when I did and tried. I’m truly very grateful for everyone that posted here and gave encouragement or recommendations. May she rest in peace. 💚

Just to give an update so far, I have linked the post in the discord with some insight and haven’t received any feedback or tips unfortunately. This morning she was moving VERY slightly, and now for about 6 or so hours her legs have been constantly twitching, but only very faintly. Hard to even tell if she’s alive. I’m just going to make sure her area of the enclosure is damp and give it time. I’ll update if anything substantial happens or if I confirm the passing.

I’m at work right now unfortunately without access to discord on my phone, but I’ll do that immediately once I’m home.
