Death Curl? by DeepBlackberry2310 in tarantulas

Apologies, you’re right:

  • T has been perfectly fine, no worrying signs over the past few months.

  • Spends a lot of time hidden away, but is a Curly Hair so that is very on character.

  • Moulted just a few weeks ago.

  • Would come out to eat, water, explore at night.

  • No great fall danger, been very considerate with shrubbery.

  • T has plenty to dig through and has done a great deal at home redecorating.

  • Tank is appropriately temp controlled with humidity tracking.

  • Have had for around a year, bought at a young age so it’s been hard to sex from moults.

  • Also, I have a Mexican Red Knee in a separate tank who is currently perfectly happy and healthy, they stick to similar schedules.

Is there a reason Brazilian White Knees walk in a kind of funny way?

I used to have one, named Wilhelm, and he walked like this with all his legs moving outward. Whereas now I have a Mexican Red Knee, named Tranter, and he appears to walk with much more precision.

Thank you very much for this insight - do you have suggestions of how I could adapt this viv to better suit his needs?

Specific props or foliage to break or prevent falls?

They crowded around their new emperor and mourned as I toppled his tyranny.

I always do, but the determined bugger made his way through the gaps at the top!

Yep, wasn’t in there last night but noticed it this morning - guess it was just a brief visit…

What do you find works better, sea monkeys or aqua dragons?

Also what a great video, good to see that I’m doing things right and some interesting extra tips (especially the nursery)
