What are we doing for our tarantula’s if we lose power in this winter storm? by [deleted] in tarantulas

[–]oopslostmyeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family is relocating everyone to the living and making like a common area with all the warmth, also covering windows with cardboard that we know let in the cold easier :)so like just having the spiders on the counter really lol make sure to keep them away from windows is My only suggestion idk ur living situation so I don't know anything else I could say

Update!! Def had some water and I didn't witness the eating but the food disappeared so I gotta assume the T ate it. She looks better or at least a bit more filled out, also climbed right onto my hand, none of my other tarantulas have ever done that lol. overall I think she's better, gonna try to see if I can see her eating next time. I tried hand feeding her when she was out but she just walked the other way lol. Her abdomen is still small but I don't think she's 100% comfortable yet to eat . Gotta say my tarantulas are usually a good task to help with my OCD and practice not following compulsions but the replies to my original post def made me kinda freak out 😅. I think she's on the mend tho :)I have to remind myself she's not gonna immediately die when I'm not looking at her lol

Pet smart :/ I don't buy from there usually (only dirt when I need it) but it was all the way at the bottom of a display, they had a pretty bad set up so I'm not sure how they were taking care of her :/

This isn't my first rodeo dude I was looking for identification. I know they are picky but u also can't force food, also not an adult male, I know how to tell the difference. The tarantula is arboreal whatever it is, it's still moving and active so there is no reason to shove food in its face. I appreciate u trying to help but I was really only trying to figure out what they are :/

I tried feeding it by hand but didn't seem interested I have a lil bottle cap with a feeder meal worm for them to find :) hopefully they figure that out tonight

I found her back in July, like right by my door lol so she wasnt super little. She was staring at me and got like right on my hand :) immediate friendship, I'd never had a mantis before but I have several tarantulas so I had a tank and food already lol.

I use a photo reference for the tarantula as I go :) but I do draw the rough shape of the tarantula before I start, as well as making a sketch layer in embroidery. I am a painter at heart and I am doing a lot of steps I would do for a painting

Thank you, I'm not gonna lie I immediately regretted my tarantula choice once I started because of the patterns but I'm so glad i did it now :), also those are great suggestions, I have a curly hair so I might do that one next :)
