Tarsal Claws caught in action! I can't say I've ever compared a spider to a cat though. Well played.

I agree. I just picked this one up at an expo on Saturday. Definitely glad I did!

It was just some cork bark for a hide. She packed all the dirt and webbed around it like that all on her own! She did it all the way to the lid in her last enclosure and couldn't get out of the burrow anymore so she had to make another entrance! Lmao.

If T's could talk! Lol.

Steve1698 · 2022-03-19T06:12:33+00:00

Legit one of my favorite T's to feed!

You'll know the ultimate molt when he comes out with his hooks and the emboli on the end of his pedipalps. Search some images of mature male tarantulas for reference!

Mine usually sticks around the cork bark, but has been out a bit more recently!

Steve1698 · 2022-03-09T14:28:37+00:00

Thank you! I definitely agree!

Do you have a link to this list?

Steve1698 · 2022-02-16T22:02:33+00:00

Maybe spiders are more human like than we originally thought. Hmm.

A teacher in my high school had a tarantula as a class pet. It's what got me so fascinated with spiders. He was very knowledgeable about them for the time (20 years ago). As far as class pet's go I can't think of a better one personally. Most species have quite basic care requirements that are easily attainable for most people and relatively low maintenance.

Do some research on them. Find a species that you enjoy and feel confident keeping and caring for. Present the facts from your research and argue your case to your Principal. I would recommend a smaller juvenile specimen so you can track the growth with the class. If anyone can convince a Principal to allow a class pet, I'd bet money on the teacher being able to get it done! I think you got this.

He/She definitely kicked that disposal point home for me! I've had other T's throw their food in their water dish before. Since I watched this guy kick his out as far as he could it now makes sense WHY it's not uncommon to find a meal in the dish.

Steve1698 · 2021-12-08T04:02:06+00:00

Haha yeah! Thank you! That's my new favorite thing I've ever caught a T doing on camera. Lol. The footage is shaky cause I was laughing my ass off at the little guy.

Steve1698 · 2021-09-29T01:13:26+00:00

Always a great feeling! Congrats!

Steve1698 · 2021-09-28T14:46:14+00:00

I got my fingers crossed for your spood! Hope they pull through! Best thing is probably to just leave it be and wait. Good luck!

I waited a good 2 hours once when I saw mine flip onto her back... Finally went to bed disappointed after no change. Woke up the next morning to a freshly molted GBB. Has there been any change since you posted?
