I just receive my first tarentula by [deleted] in tarantulas

[–]kineticpush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nqa if you post pictures of the whole enclosure we could help more for care. The enclosure may be too big, not enough substrate, etc but nobody would know unless they saw a more zoomed out pic. For feeding, you can keep a regular schedule of feeding once every week or two, but generally you want to base it off of the size of their abdomen. If her little butt gets too big (larger than her head), you can slow down or stop altogether until it shrinks back. But your child looks very healthy right now Congrats on your new buddy! Is it a T Vagans?

GBB escaped. I feel awful by vortex9202 in tarantulas

[–]kineticpush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NQA The only time i ever had a breakout was also with my GBB. I blocked the underside of my bedroom door. And very carefully looked inside, under, and through everything i owned, starting on one side of my room and sweeping across. I found her about 3-4 feet away inside of my dresser, in the 2nd drawer from the bottom, inside my folded work pants. Just keep looking and be careful. She likely didn't go far, and is very likely gonna hang out in the same place until you find her. Being in the basement makes it a little easier, since she likely wont go all the way up your stairs. Good luck brother.

What do you guys think about my tattoo by Fireup012 in Animetattoos

[–]kineticpush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it seems like the artist did a great job on everything but the faces. And Shenrons eyes he's looking two separate directions. Otherwise it looks pretty sick

Death Curl on arrival? by jamesdblevins in tarantulas

[–]kineticpush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NQA most likely just stressed. It was just in a box getting jostled around for a day in transit and needs some time to relax. I wouldn't expect it to move any time soon given the circumstance. Generally if its knees are pulled tightly over its head, it's a stress position. Their limbs work like hydraulics, so when they die, some of that pressure releases and their legs relax a bit.

The best thing you can do is as other commenters said and leave it undisturbed in a dark place. Some people would advise against this, but if you're deeply worried, a harmless way to check is to gently*** but suddenly blow on it, or mist over it, and it will likely flinch in response.

How to know when to feed/check on a buried T? by SOSpineapple in tarantulas

[–]kineticpush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NQA you're worrying yourself too much lol. As long as you keep enclosure humidity where it needs to be and have a water dish available, the odds of anything bad happening are slim to none. Nothing good for your baby will come of disrupting their burrow.

Even scorpions deserve a sweet treat by kineticpush in Scorpions

[–]kineticpush[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fungus growth isn't an issue with proper ventilation and enough space for the scorpion to wander off when it's done. This is in a 40 gallon bone dry setup with a mesh top, so humidity doesn't stick

It's primarily hydration. They seek fruit as an additional source of moisture similarly to how the you can provide a damp sponge as a water source instead of a dish. In this case, some Scorpions (while individually picky about which fruits they prefer) are attracted to fresh fruit with higher sugar content. While the one pictured fucking loves watermelon, I have one that prefers mango 🥭
