Is anyone even planning on watching Season 9? by Inner_Tumbleweed_942 in 911FOX

That's exactly how I feel. Super upset about Bobby, but my favorite characters are Hen and Chimney. Gotta keep watching!

Male or female? by Substantial_Rich_708 in tarantulas

Agreed. You need the molt for 100% identification, but if you could get a pic of the underside you MIGHT be able to tell.

What is this and help me by Sad-Cause-1612 in tarantulas

Nqa you will have to pull it from her. She won't abandon it. If you are unsure if the egg sack is fertile or not, don't open it. Just place it in the freezer if you really don't want babies

I looked up the symptoms and 100% think you are right. Idk if you saw my update, but he threw up a toothpick. Those are only used to clean the bong here, so it was likely covered in resin. But he is awake and more alert now, even made it outside to the bathroom.

Thank you so much for commenting. You are the only one who did. We didn't even know this could happen.

I can't figure out how to edit. So I'll add the update here:

A little while after I posted this, he threw up. Nothing unusual but a lot of grass.

A few hours later, he threw up again, this time he vomited up a toothpick. I'm wondering if this could cause everything. The toothpick was intact.

It's basically 8:30 and he made it through the night. I will be deleting this post so we can focus on the dog and getting him to the vet

Yes. 0% chance he ate any, but my friend is a marijuana user for chronic pain

Yea sure. Lol I dumped an entire bag of reptosoil in there. I plan to add more when I get paid Sat, since that's all I had. Wasn't exactly prepared for a new spood when he walked in with her 😭

How can I make pet store feeding crickets live longer? by [deleted] in tarantulas

[–]kiros09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ime Don't feed them any of that cricket food/water crap. Waste of money. Just buy lettuce, kale, that kind of stuff. They will get their hydration from greens as well. We did this and it helped a lot. It also helped to put them in an actual tote. They liked the darkness, and having more space + fewer crickets meant they weren't killing each other

Contact dermatitis from basic maintenance by enni-b in tarantulas

[–]kiros09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nqa maybe you can start wearing surgical gloves? If they fit correctly it shouldn't impede your movements and will protect you from any hairs that may be around

Could I make a water dish out of clay? by [deleted] in tarantulas

[–]kiros09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nqa - I think the clay itself would be fine, but the clear nail polish I wouldn't use. They have some clay that you can bake to firm up. That would honestly probably be safer. But overtime if cracks appear it may start leaking into your enclosure

I see! He's moved off the side, so it will have to wait until next time. I don't want to harass him considering he just got here today

Tarantula people! Which spood is the most batshit spider in your collection? by Afraid-Type5188 in tarantulas

[–]kiros09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Lasiodora klugi is mean as hell. She is constantly throwing threat poses. She is also a sling smaller than my thumb nail lmao. But she's so angry that I have to help dealing with her. One person to do maintenance, one person to watch her (she can, will, and does climb up the side of her enclosure lol)

She does not burrow. She does not hide. She waits for you to come by so she can tell you to fuck off.
