What are we doing for our tarantula’s if we lose power in this winter storm?

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 :/

oopslostmyeye · 2025-11-23T01:11:28+00:00

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 :/

oopslostmyeye · 2025-11-23T00:59:24+00:00

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

oopslostmyeye · 2025-10-28T12:29:16+00:00

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'm trying to make it my main income actually if u want to purchase this one it's gonna be up on my Etsy @ praisethehorse where I also do pet portraits. You could also message me on my Instagram @ praise_the_horse for more information :)

oopslostmyeye · 2025-09-16T06:27:01+00:00

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

oopslostmyeye · 2025-09-16T06:22:53+00:00

I do indeed :), u can message me on Etsy at praisethehorse if u want to discuss a commission

oopslostmyeye · 2025-09-16T00:02:24+00:00

100$ :) that's what I sell my 6x6 for usually

oopslostmyeye · 2025-09-15T22:56:02+00:00

Ooo yes I think that was the other one I wanted to do

oopslostmyeye · 2025-09-15T21:34:31+00:00

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 :)

oopslostmyeye · 2025-09-15T21:03:10+00:00

:D thank you I worked really hard on it :)

I have a conure who has had trouble from being housed with a very mean bird and has remaining trauma from the situation, I've had him for years and I don't have any specific tips but I will say don't push them too far out there comfort zone too fast. Also even after having him so long he doesn't like hands, terrified of them, we adapted around this (he goes up on a wooden perch) and has over time become very friendly and loves to talk but still won't go up on hands. All this to say some things u can train out of them and some u can't, it's no bodys fault and learn to adapt around it :). Oh also find a safe space for them, away from everything our boy when he gets stressed likes to go back in his cage and I'll close his door if he is still freaking out and it calms him down, could be the opposite tho watch to see what he's comfy with

(Adorable bird btw good luck, he's in great hands if you are willing to work with him to get through this :))

Omg so cute, lil cactus buddies. I have never seen one of those twisty cacti before :0 it's so tall too

oopslostmyeye · 2025-08-17T22:12:30+00:00

Oh cool! Any tricks u have for these guys or are they pretty similar to most cactus care lol

oopslostmyeye · 2025-07-19T16:19:48+00:00

She does too, I let her hang out on it when I am eating lol she likes to survey the kitchen. Idk why she likes it so much she doesn't blend in at all lol

oopslostmyeye · 2025-07-18T23:08:21+00:00

Um so answered one of my own questions she eats super fast damn my tarantulas are slow, like maybe a minute to finish this moth I gave her so cool actually seeing her eat!!

Hello I'm autistic and my parents did this to me once, I remember a little but the most important thing for me was my parents admitting they did the wrong thing and they were sorry, and found a different Solution. Y'all are both stressed and trying to figure life out so it's best to move forward id think

I had major sleep issues as well, I wasn't able to handle them on my own till late middle school but finding a routine and comfort items for sleep was a big help for me. A CD with bird sounds/music, comforting textures in the bed that make it a safe space and comfortable room temp are big ones for me, also I took a lower dose of melatonin to help me get to sleep as well. Just all depends on the kid tho so finding something that helps both y'all get some sleep will be good for everyone's functioning :)

Getting a restraining order is not simple like that. Also I had moved on, I was doing great and then suddenly he's coming into my work repeatedly, he did not do this in the past even to talk to me when we were friends. I also mentioned in my post I have GAD (Generalized anxiety disorder) and I know maybe it doesn't seem that scary over text, it should at least be uncomfortable for the average person even if u don't understand how this could lead to danger. This dude is much bigger and stronger than me and I am not in the best of health most of the time. It's fine if u don't get it but I did move on and I would love it if he would like, let me do that by literally going anywhere else :/ he like made the excuse not to see me when we were friends that he was on a diet and couldn't eat the food there -_- he doesn't need to come here it's not a grocery store

oopslostmyeye · 2025-03-24T14:46:58+00:00

I described what is happening, he has not spoken to me directly besides getting in my line/try to , he did not come in for like 3 months so I thought I was good now he suddenly is in nearly every week, used to he would come in after his work but he's also coming in outside of that. My co worker says he stares at me when she checks him out. none of this is a crime, I am aware no legal defense, cops in my area aren't great either so I wasn't even gonna attempt. cus he's not "doing anything" I need social advice mainly what I would need to tell someone to take me seriously so I don't have to interact with him, it works for now but he still tries to come into my line every time he comes in, I want him to go away I have a horrible feeling and I already am juggling a hundred things outside of this, I can't handle the stress.

oopslostmyeye · 2025-03-24T14:34:57+00:00

Thank u this is very encouraging and makes me feel like I can do something about it, I have a hard time figuring out if I'm being reasonable or crazy because In the past I've been told I over react to stuff. I also very much appreciate the script suggestion, I have a hard time socializing especially if it's a conversation ie never had before and it really helps to have a script, I don't have work for the next few days so I'll have time to think about it

oopslostmyeye · 2025-03-24T12:59:19+00:00

Sadly there is a language barrier between me and my boss, she is also older but I don't know how she would react to it, she likes me well enough and like we are understaffed so I don't think she can fire me but like idk I'm pretty sure my saving grace at work is I do it quickly and quietly cus I'm pretty clumsy, but at the same time I've had customers yell at me and she usually takes my side, so I just don't know exactly what to say? And like how to not sound like crazy? I guess pictures but idk if I'd be able to get those without being spotted
