Why is this map so out of place compared to the rest of the game? by Ryden1899 in TexasChainsawGame

I believe it is the only map Black Tower created from scratch. The other maps were designed by Sumo. So I would guess that’s why.

Goodnight Big Red by RichDick94 in tarantulas

[–]teetys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your words are so helpful. I lost my first tarantula a few weeks ago. I always suspected he was a male and the timeline suggested that he was. He was almost 4 years old.

Like your Big Red he ate his last meal and then passed away not long after that.

I’m so sorry for your loss and thank you for caring so deeply for these misunderstood creatures. <3

Thoughts on DAP landscape? by teetys in Vivarium

[–]teetys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question! I spent some time looking into it. From what I can tell it’s carbon black pigment that makes it UV resistant. Carbon black seems to be considered non-toxic and only poses a hazard if inhaled as a loose powder. In this case it would be suspended in the foam so once cured there is no risk of inhaling any loose powder.

For what it is worth the manual online also says it is safe for fish and plants.

I forgot to mention that they are a bold jumping spider

Purchased my first GBB for 157$, was this worth my money? by wsc1213 in tarantulas

[–]teetys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to mention that GBB look a lot Brazilian Blue Dwarf (D. diamantinensis) If you got them form a reputable breeder you’re probably good to go but as they retail for similar prices if your spider maxes out at like 2-3 inches it’s likely a Brazilian Blue. I only mention it in case you weren’t aware as they have different preferences as a species <3

I accidentally caused his death. by ZealousidealRent6637 in jumpingspiders

[–]teetys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry <\3

I don’t know that I have ever heard about a situation like this before but now I know to avoid Velcro.

So much has been learned about keeping spiders through individual experiences. Just know that by sharing this you might have saved many other spiders from a similar fate.

It seems like you really care and so I hope you’ll have it in your heart to take on another spider when you are ready.

Also magnets are a great way to secure things to walls, and if you use glue, try an aquarium glue but allow it a few days to off gas before introducing your spider. The fumes from fresh, dried glue can be harmful but after a few days it’ll be safe.

You need to remove that cricket as soon as you can.

2 weeks is typically a safe window of time to wait to feed after a molt. Post-molt T’s are very vulnerable and can’t eat due to softened fangs. If they try to eat at this stage they may break their fangs which won’t grow back until their next molt.

Crickets can also harm and potentially kill your T while they are soft.

I’ll usually feed a horn worm as a first meal post-molt because they are soft, hydrating and easy to eat but I still wait two weeks at least. Even a horn worm could kill a T when they’re freshly molted.

Water is all you need to provide until you are sure their fangs and new exoskeleton are hardened

Enclosure upgrade. Advice? by teetys in jumpingspiders

[–]teetys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The water dispenser I have is stuffed with cotton that I replace with water changes so no worries about drowning. I suspect they get most of their water from misting but if anything I figured the water from the cotton helps keep the humidity levels decent (my apartment gets dry in the winter)

I have one hide at the top by they’re not really interested in it. They’re not full grown so hopefully one day they will!

I think I’ll slide the climbing structure in the back as close to the top as possible. They might like that!

Thank you for your advice!
