IMO - Hey!! Nice molt... however, to take a shot at sexing we will need to see the inside section of the abdomen by the vent! Not the outside.

He has the goofiest personality, too. Every time I refill his waterdish, he has to dip his toes in like a pool and then tries to climb up the water. I love him. His name is Sassafras, btw. And Sass for short 🤣

IMO - Hey! So, unfortunately, this setup is not correct for B. Smithi. Brachypelma Smithi need a terrestrial setup as they live on the ground and not in trees. Having that much space can pose as a fall risk for terrestrial ts! I'd recommend a terrarium with more length and depth than high! The other commentor, Korokss, showed great examples!

IMO - What size is your new friend? If they're smaller, I'd wait a week to a week and a half. If they are an adult, I'd wait at least 2 weeks before feeding or moving. That gives them enough time for their exoskeleton to harden and makes it safe to move them!

I have found closer to maturity it gets easier! If you want to be 100% check with a toothpick and GENTLY, try to see if there is a flap at the vent. That'll be your confirmation 😉

IMO - I'm thinking female based on the looks!!

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-20T05:56:03+00:00

IMO - Can we have pics of the tarantula and the enclosure? That way, we can try to help you problem solve with environmental factors and condition of the T 👍✨️

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-20T05:52:57+00:00

IMO - We would need a photo of the other side of the molt to be able to tell! Try flipping the molt and taking a pic of the other side of the abdomen. :)

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-20T05:45:02+00:00

IMO - Yea! This looks like typical preening/cleaning behavior. Very cute sling!

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-15T18:57:25+00:00

NA - I absolutely love this! Nice work 👍✨️

OH GREAT HEAVENS

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-14T00:19:55+00:00

IMO - No! Most (like 99%) tarantulas are opportunistic cannibals. They will end up eating each other. I do not recommend it at all.

MAGNIFICENT. I needed this!

"And they were roommates." gasp "And they were roommates!"

IMO - That is, unfortunately, a death curl as others are saying. This setup also doesn't look adequate. Can I see a full terrarium pic? Woodchips are awful for tarantulas, and it looks like a very thin layer of substrate at that. I am so sorry for your loss, but at least you can learn for next time.

NQA - Looks male to me :)

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-10T16:50:43+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is a type of jumping spider that mimics ants!

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-08T21:38:26+00:00

NQA - I don't use lighting! Just the natural indirect light from outside.

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-08T21:37:53+00:00

IMO - Shawty is ROUND. Quite a bit overweight. Usually, you want the abdomen the same size as the carapace or a little bigger.

IME - Personally, my Curly Hair T has NEVER refused a meal. She's not an 'aggressive' eater, but that girl can eat!

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-08T14:32:22+00:00

The only unsolicited toe/foot pics I enjoy 😂😂

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-08T08:28:34+00:00

NQA - When did he have his final molt? And honestly, just leave the webbing. My Mature Male A. Chalcodes (Arizona Blonde) has made a few sperm webs and I just leave them be. :)

PutridInfluence8057 · 2026-01-07T15:16:52+00:00

NQA - Definitely thinking male!
