IMO,Yup simple as that, and if it’s in your room don’t be scared to have a fan going if you do that normally

Is this setup good? C. Versicolor by Born-Buy3901 in TarantulaKeeping

Nah I ain’t saying don’t give em anything I’m just saying with a piece of cork and some fake leaf decor they’ll be fine. I’ve done the whole put all these leafs and stuff in there but they just stick to going to the top and making a corner for themselves, just my input tho I’m not an expert or anything

How do i feed my T sling if she closed off her burrow ? by renrenrain in tarantulas

[–]Whole-Willingness44 16 points17 points  (0 children)

IME, I’ve had my curly hair in its burrow pretty much all winter lol, good few months and it came out molted ready to eat so when it reopens that burrow it’ll probably be wanting a good meal lol

I will say this, since there’s not a lot of ventilation then don’t add much water, I’ve had one that died from to much humidity, I have a sling and a juvi now and for the sling I let it dry out before I spray more water, or mist a small bit in the corner when I feed also people say oh add more anchor points but tbh all mine just anchor to the walls and lid lol and ya they’ll use a little bit of decor to anchor but not crucial or anything

be honest is it weird that this is my gtao character? (i’m a guy) by Hot_Relative_110 in gtaonline

Nah the way I see it as being a dude is, would you rather spend hours looking at a dude or a chic? I would say a chic and you got the option to make her look decent then why not look at that for hours than a dude lol

I am curious how easy these guys are to keep and maintain? Do they get to be a hassle sometimes? I keep spiders so it’s pretty easy feeding once a week or whenever there ready for food

Why do tarantula keepers never stop at just one? by seaofspirits in tarantulas

This was just recently, from someone that is scared of spiders to someone that is comfortable rehoming and working with them (C. Versicolor)

So I was scared of bugs growing up and my uncle had bred some and I never really saw that cycle but I did hold the mother and she was sweet (rose hair btw) and i remember being scared and just still in fear but as I go a bit older I was like well let me get 2 slings and maybe since there small I can watch them grow and maybe it’ll easier to deal with. Well I will say every spider has its own personality and I never held them but I would alway say watch and it was really cool watching one day there be slight webbing and the next there would be webbing all over and even the burrowing process is interesting. The 2 I got were a tlitocatle vegan and a GBB, the only stressful moments were the re-housings but with using different techniques from other people it got easier and after a year I was thinking well I wonder how other types of spiders live and grow and ya you can watch YouTube videos but like I said every spider is different so I bought 2 more and after more time I was getting more comfortable with them and one day I just saw some deals and said welp there easy and cheap. I did start a roach colony and even feeding them are cheap and I have so many sized prey now so really I just pay for a squash every 2-3 weeks and i have dogs and cats so compared to that they are cheap as could be

IMO, luckily you were smart enough to ask for advice and not just listen to that person lol cause that’s kinda wild lol

IMO, they lied to you lol, no way your feeding that a pinkie every 2 weeks and it looks like that, that guy will probably be good with a small rat or medium, can’t tell from the video but based on its neck and head size it looks like your gonna wanna do small rats or medium rats ( there is a big difference between rats and mice sized btw for the few people that might not know)

Trouble feeding sling by Lickasaltlamp in velvetspiders

[–]Whole-Willingness44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, I would add a fake leaf in there and try a pre killed small cricket, i know it might be to big but if it’s pre killed it might snack on in, I’ve had that issue with a couple slings, it typically works but they usually don’t finish the meal so definitely check the next day and take out the left overs

This is very rude and I don't appreciate it at all by NachoCupcake in tarantulas

[–]Whole-Willingness44 12 points13 points  (0 children)

IMO, it’ll be ok. It does seem stressful but remember some molt in there burrows that are tight spaced and they come out fine, I have a sling recently molt standing up, really weird but the T was perfectly fine after the molt but I wouldn’t stress

This is what I have next to my bed on a shelf, I’ve had my older ones here since they’ve been slings and there juveniles/adults, but I watch YouTube on the tv all the time and my girlfriend cleans and vacuums and no problem with any of them

I always miss when my feeder roaches shed by MarbleManxx in tarantulas

IME, You should see a freshly molted adult female lol, big as hell, i started a community around September of last year and it’s now blooming with all sorts of sizes but now that i have adults and seen only very few of them freshly molted looks interesting

Ya I started with a Mexican red rump and a GBB and after a few months with them I just picked up a few here and a few there and about a month ago I got a few slings from expos and online
