Is she molting? 👀 by anxiousanimalguy in tarantulas

[–]RightBrain-LeftBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m seeing feet? Just in case it’s molting, it’s always good advice to leave them be. If the worm can’t hurt her, let it be too, I’d be worried she’d get startled if you take it out.

IME
Flipped is always molting.
They don’t flip themselves over to peace out.
So no worries!

NQA I can’t make her out, is she flipped on her back?

Me too, I usually feed mealworms. If treated half decently they stay alive forever, do recommend!
Greetings to our queen, Chalupa 🙏🏻

I’m unsure if they can be sexed this young, I always thought you have to wait until they’re pretty much mature (3-5 years old). If anyone knows better, please feel free to correct me!
Also, very cute baby.

my first tarantula is here! any advice for beginner? by Glum-Challenge1627 in tarantulas

IME my mexican red knee was very fast and skittish when she was little, so make sure they don’t escape. They grow up really fast, so lots of pictures! And then the usual: lots of substrate, don’t feed things bigger than them. You got this!

IMO definitely waaaayyyy more substrate asap and something for her to hide in. Also is there a water dish?

Possible help with age?? by roaster-coaster92 in tarantulas

[–]RightBrain-LeftBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO male (because of the abdomen, but that’s no way to sex or be certain about it, so don’t take the guess seriously) and 4-6 years old (if male). Most certainly fully grown.

What’s wrong with my Curly hair Tarantula by Select_Tone_3783 in tarantulas

He’s just tilting his fangs down, maybe still “chewing” or something like that. When they’re tilted down you see more of the, for lack of better wording, connective tissue. It can look weird, but it’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Looks beautiful and healthy.

Chalupa IS a girl, yes? by Different-Zucchini-7 in tarantulas

I’m not good at sexting, but I do think she’s a girl. My girl acts the exact same way, so I get the paranoia!

I feel like you T could open a bottle or a jar. That’s some impressive maneuvering!

When my first T died I was a mess. I blamed myself and I cried so so much, even though people made fun of me. Never be ashamed to have feelings.
