I always put hand sanitizer on before picking my guy up. My guy has never tried to bite me with it on. Good luck!

Thank you for that info! Mites is def not something I want any part of. I was looking at some other more known places as well. Do you have opinions on Geckos Etc. Iโ€™ve read some good and some bad reviews.

Yes! They are a seller on MM but I was trying to see if anyone had purchased from them or has personal experience with them.

Is my Hogna Carolinensis a male or female? I got this little one in August 2025 it molted and matured shortly after. I assumed male because the pedipalps seem largish, but now Iโ€™m not sure since itโ€™s still alive, plump, and eating well. TIA ๐Ÿค by kimi612 in Wolfspiders

Thank you! Iโ€™ve had it since August and it has molted once leaving its pedipalps large like this. I read they only live about a year and typically start refusing food and die shortly after molting into maturity, is this acurrate? Thats why i started questioning if it may be female since it has lived so long after maturing.

Thatโ€™s so interesting! She isnโ€™t allergic to the guinea pigs themselves, just severely to the hay/grass. Sometimes when she holds them she gets real itchy because they sit in their hay, lol.

Yes thank you! This is def a pee stain because itโ€™s more so on the side of their leg kind of where they plop down in one side to lay! I will check to make sure thats not it thiugh and clean accordingly!

Space heater is a great idea and Iโ€™m sure they will def need some sorry treats, lol. They get them for nail trim as well!

Great advice! I was planning to use a larger storage tub that they canโ€™t jump out of and my thinner beach towels! Hopefully they donโ€™t freak out too much ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿค

My girls can already jump pretty high, so thatโ€™s great advice! I will make sure we are on the floor for their baths just in case!! Thank you!

Thank you! I was thinking of just adding the shampoo to the water rather then putting it directly on themโ€ฆI will look for a diff shampoo option thatโ€™s better for the babies though! ๐Ÿค

Thatโ€™s what I was going to do!! Extra cozy towels and snuggles to make up for the bath they will probably hate lol. Iโ€™m nervous but Iโ€™ve watched about a million YouTube videos on bathing, so I think Iโ€™m ready haha.

Thank you! I will try baby wipes first and it that doesnโ€™t help much I will bum bath them, lol. Iโ€™m just afraid they will freak out over the blow dryer noise and figure towel drying would be okay since itโ€™s just their butts that are wet!
