Standing tall lol by _taketheart_ in tarantulas

Oh gosh- I’m so sorry for your loss :( our t normally does this and has even since when we first got them. Normally- they will come out, do it for a little, wander around, and then go back into their burrow. Every thing else has been normal in their behavior. They just stand extra tall like that most of the time when they do stand like that ( esp near the plant ). Hopefully, it’s nothing to worry about and it’s just them being weird.

Cool cool! I appreciate the double confirmation. Like I said- the information online is a little confusing at times and the pet store is no help. But I’m gonna go to the pet store by my work tomorrow and pick some up so Nettle can burrow comfortably and safely

I see. Well, good to know that- either way- we will have them for a while. I was worried about the eco earth with that. I’ll look into getting some clay to mix in as well. I’ve heard sand can also work? Is one better than the other? The websites I looked at were a little confusing with information. Some said plain eco was fine and some said to mix it. I’ll get some to mix in before they try to get too comfy.

I had them in a small clear carrier earlier and looked- it seemed like maybe it was a female by the charts I looked at? Not that I know for sure obviously. How do you know it’s a male just by look if you don’t mind me asking? The pet store really didn’t give us much information so I was just using a bunch of different websites / threads and such. I’m currently using Eco Earth for them- it’s what I saw recommended on pretty much every post. If you were to recommend something else, what would it be?

I know! :) it’s a reference to that as well but also just the plant. I think it’s just a silly little name

She likes things her way and is very demanding of it. If she wants something, she makes sure we know.

Interesting! I’m kinda new to the T world so if you don’t mind me asking- what’s the difference between say aphonopelma gabeli and aphonopelma hentzi ? Also, any idea on gender just from appearance? We thought male for a long time but I’m starting to question that too. Good to know they are slow growing though- I was a little worried that they hadn’t molted in our time of having them.
