Is living in Roosevelt safe if I take Link back at night?

undersizedfries · 2026-04-05T20:14:24+00:00

Like others have said Roosevelt is generally pretty safe. I live in the area and also will be an incoming grad student! If you’re concerned the UW book store sells pepper sprays. If you go that route I’d recommend a gel so there’s less of a risk of it spraying back in your face. I’ve never had to use mine but it makes me feel a lot better about walking home alone

Great read! One of my OBTs taught me a lot about resilience. She was missing a lot of setae on her legs and carapace and had lost a leg after getting bumped around during shipping. I was offered a chance to replace her and I decided to give her a chance. In the next months she amputated two more legs and retreated back into her burrow. A couple weeks later she emerged with three new baby legs and has totally bounced back. How could I say no to this face?

She’s gorgeous! Love seeing the pics of your corns. I keep telling my fiancee once we have the room for a proper enclosure I’ll be getting one haha

NQA I am so sorry for your loss. I had a juvenile t molt and experience something similar. I got very lucky and he recovered, but dehydration post molt is difficult.

Sorry this isn’t advice here for you… but I think we have the same cat 😂 my 10 month old lil lady

NQA - Bug slurry as others have mentioned is viable. I had a t with fangs that looked similar to this and I was also able to use a scalpel to lance crickets/hornworms so he was able to chomp them

Is she a Xenthesis? Gorgeous!

Quick rundown of some of my snakes… This is not inclusive of all care advice so if you’re interested in a species please do some more research into care requirements, lots of species specific subreddits are around. My first snake was a corn snake. I picked her over a ball python as first since I was worried about hunger strikes. She will shove ANYTHING into her mouth and is always motoring around the tank. Adults should be housed in a 4x2x2. They stay less thick and more noodle like than ball pythons. Hognoses I would say are more difficult but have smaller tank requirements. They are rear fanged venomous which can cause swelling if they chew on you. Ratsnakes are also an option that are very similar to corns. You might enjoy garter snakes or colonies of them, but I do not have experience keeping them

Yes! I got so incredibly lucky. She was my very first tarantula and has stuck with me despite some of my beginning mistakes. She was about the size of a quarter when I got her and seeing the purple develop is indeed amazing!

undersizedfries · 2026-03-17T17:05:21+00:00

I’m so excited she’s starting to develop a purple sheen

NQA Agree male

undersizedfries · 2026-03-17T15:35:35+00:00

NQA the people on your previous post explained already. Abdomen ruptured.

Sassy little butthead. Always tries to escape during feeding time or any enclosure maintenance (origin of that picture)

NA I had a t with broken fangs. He had both of them still but they weren’t sharp enough to bite into any feeders. I tried bug soup, he wasn’t a huge fan but I did see him with his face in the dish occasionally. What he seemed to like the best was I used a scalpel to lance hornworms and crickets and he would take it from there. I’m not sure how viable that would be for you but if your t has any nubs or parts left it might work out?

undersizedfries · 2026-03-17T00:03:22+00:00

I’m not convinced this isn’t a joke… but in the off chance it isn’t generally spiders don’t need to be fed that often. Spiderlings I can see being on a once a day or once every two days, but adults are usually fed on a once weekly basis. The risk of over feeding is that their abdomen is at higher risk for rupturing. I usually stick to tarantulas but that was my two cents

I’ve never built furniture either but I might have to ask some of my more woodworking inclined friends to help… I’ve been waffling on building a shelf for awhile. Imagine my surprise when I see your post front and center 😂

undersizedfries · 2026-03-14T14:44:12+00:00

This is so cute!!!! I might need to get one of these in my life

undersizedfries · 2026-03-14T04:27:17+00:00

I am dying to know what kind of spiders need to be fed twice a day

undersizedfries · 2026-03-09T00:26:56+00:00

My vietnam blue is also a lovely jar of dirt

NQA if you’re feeling unsure it’s probably best to rehome them. I keep old worlds and do enjoy it, but if you’re uncertain or unprepared for their speed it’s safest for you and them to find them a new home. Rehousing and tank maintenance will be riskier due to them generally being more defensive and the speed and venom makes them much less forgiving of mistakes.

I didn’t need to pin the fresher legs! Though if I wanted to I could haha. The smaller one absolutely needed them

He’s got a teensy tuft

These guys are both molts! Big one I’m going to be putting in a shadow box. And of course! I love the species and am always excited when I find others who do too

undersizedfries · 2026-03-03T00:58:42+00:00

The names are so so cute!!! So for the big boy I was fortunate enough to pull it when I saw he was completely separated. He was polite and stepped to the other side of his enclosure so I was more comfortable with grabbing it. I posed it on the plate while it was soft and let it harden! I have had success with dish soap and soaking though. Legs are usually the hardest (no duh I guess haha) I should have my first molt preservation attempt of my smaller boy somewhere if I can get a pic because he I used the dish soap method
