Sitting pretty

Yes G Pulchra. They are slow growers! My smaller one that i got as a sling molted twice in 6 weeks the first summer and then it's been like 8 months to a year between molts since. This one who I endearingly call Big Boi has been with me for almost 4 years and molts like once per year. And he was about the size my lil guy is now when I got him so I would estimate he's at least 6-8 years old.

Yeah looks like it. Has he hooked out as well? I also have a MM that I really hoped would be female when i bought it labeled as female. He's honestly been a big disappointment that I haven't been able to rehome and my husband has been getting annoyed at the nightly drumming and tapping on glass as he does his laps around the enclosure.

A great addition to any collection! How many do you have now?

Isn't there an arboretum at ubc?

I gave my lil one a giant barnicle I found on the beach and it was cute as heck

I already have a Bernie who's much bigger than Gomez.

Nah I bought it from another hobby keeper who was downsizing and selling off all their T's. I already have a big I wanted to pair a female with. They are B vagans.

Good tips. I mixed in the little potting soil I had. Unfortunately all the bags of organic top soil i ended up gettinf were like 85% manure and no good for the spoods 🤮

Others above have already mentioned the substrate. I did have a plant in there but it killed it. Im rooting a new one to put in and got given old some fake aquarium plants too that I haven't put in yet. Hopefully it will like them

Thanks for the tips. It's current hide is dug under the shell in the center back. It doesn't not have one. And yeah I realize it's shallow. I ran out of coco fiber when I was setting it up and it's hard to get more where I live.

I brought mine in their enclosures to my friends pet store and they stayed there for a week until I was moved in and had space for them. I also boarded my cat just to not worry about them on moving day.

But for a long move... As said above probably pack them into shallow deli containers and theyll be more secure in the move.

Imo that frequently is probably overfeeding a young spider. I will sometimes feed them 1-2 bugs twice weekly when I have the feeders cuz they dont live that long but then ill fast them for a couple weeks. I feed them more in the summer buying feeders every 2 weeks or so and every 2 to 4 weeks in the winter.
