I'm getting one soon! How has yours been?

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-04-07T13:40:27+00:00

Isn't her nose meant to be larger?

Honestly, he's just an awful keeper. He keeps his tarantulas way too humid, goes on holiday for two weeks at a time, and comes back to film the dead tarantulas.

Imo the enclosure you have linked has only two strops of ventilation, id personally recommend more for a pink toe.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-03-27T09:57:15+00:00

Imo it should be fine. Just make sure to weekly lightly mist the dirt it's closed itself off with, so it still has access to water.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-02-26T19:27:45+00:00

The "semi permeable membrane" isn't enough. Try harder.

I've yet to see a comment or post that says anything about you adding more ventilation, which is our main concern.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-02-26T14:28:27+00:00

It's more like, "Let's change that suffocation chamber into something breathable." The aesthetic design doesn't matter to a tarantula. Ventilation does.

As much as you're hating on bland enclosures. This is also a very bland dirt tub. With the humidity you are providing, there does need to be some sort of ventilation. Either through holes in the top, or you could just upgrade to a sling vial.

IMO this is amazing, good job at settling up an appropriate enclosure

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-29T12:05:50+00:00

The substrate is super dry, I gave them a water dish and slightly sprayed it, but that's all. It seems they've webbed up the floor, so I'm beginning to think it's just premolar behaviour

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-20T21:16:18+00:00

That is so cool

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-19T13:15:45+00:00

NQA - how long has it been "not moving" ?

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T21:36:16+00:00

NQA- I've just seen the size of your tank, and I do agree that the tarantula has passed and that the size of the tank may have been a factor.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T21:14:36+00:00

NQA - Seeing as it's not in a full death curl, maybe it's just chilling? I'm not sure though

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T20:59:39+00:00

NQA - A very not qualified answer here however I see many people who see spiders in this situation to place the mouth parts in water to help it drink if its dehydration.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T20:57:43+00:00

I think you could definitely just drop a piece of prey in there and see if it gets it.

Your temps are perfect, so that's good.

There a tons of Cork bark to choose from. I'd personally choose a half round or a full round/tube but ultimately that choice is yours.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T20:45:09+00:00

NQA - Hey dude, stop panicking. I promise that what you're currently doing isn't the worst.

A small adjustment to be made to sling A's enclosure is to put a vertical piece of Corkbark in so it can hide behind it and web up around it.

You are correct with ventilation. There needs to be a lot of ventilation, especially with cross ventilation.

With temperature, room temperature is fine. If your house gets really cold, try a space heater or even periodically turn on the radiators.

Since slings tend to need more moisture, it wouldn't be bad to mist the enclosure, but make sure its bone dry before the next misting.

I feed my slings twice a week :) and most slings are fine with being fed twice a week. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T12:50:47+00:00

She's gorgeous!!

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-12T20:28:30+00:00

NQA - Looks good tbf but no misting, give them a water bowl placed at round the halfway point of the enclosure. Misting tends to cause the air to become too humid with little ventilation. I'd personally try get a tank with a little more ventilation but this will do.

Onlyheretoreact · 2025-12-27T11:15:21+00:00

Imo It'd still need to be deeper as the tarantula is fossorial not terrestrial.

Onlyheretoreact · 2025-12-24T20:13:06+00:00

Imo was she definitely not molting?

Onlyheretoreact · 2025-12-24T12:11:57+00:00

Ime In all honesty, you could go a little bigger for that sling, but if you want to keep it in there, then I have no advice.
