Poppy, my juvie Tliltocatl kahlenbergi, moving some of her substrate around ❤️ she was recently rehoused into a bigger enclosure! I love watching them bulldoze around lmao

I believe I may have been scammed on MorphMarket. I recently had my brazilian black pass and wanted a replacement. I didn't want to start from a sling again and found a posting on MorphMarket for a 3+ year old 2.75 inch specimen, garunteed female. I just got it today and when I opened it up, the specimen i received looks like it is barely out of sling stage and is smaller than the one I had when it was 2 years old. I payed a premium price for an older larger specimen and I don't think I got that. Just wanted to ask on here about it before I decide what to do next.

Edit: I did a little more measuring and it is closer to 2.75 inches than I originally thought, but not quite there. I knew that the reference Pic on the post was much bigger than 2.75 and wasn't expecting anything that size. I was just thrown a little because my original Gammostola Pulchra was much bigger than this one at the 3 year old advertised age. Maybe mine was just growing abnormally fast, I have heard conflicting stories on exactly how fast they grow. Thank you for all the comments and help. I also got a red knee freebie with it so I guess I can't complain. Again, thanks for all the help.

I have had this brazillian black tarantula for a few months. I got her from a reptile rescue and they had no idea her age but shes about the size of an oreo and for the first few months she ate fine but now whenever I put Dubias in her enclosure she either acts like she doesnt see them or runs from them. You can see the first one that was dropped in front of her she let escape into the soil. The second one she is ignoring.

Hi there! I’ve just taken a pic of my t blondi compared to my hand (I’m not sure how many times she molted before I got her, I suppose a couple since she was around 5cm in legspan). She molted four times in 1 year and 10 months (since I have her) and this is her size now - I’d say she’s around 8” or 20 cm. Do you think she reached her final size? Did your blondi get bigger? I’d love to see some pics! 🫶

This is Mumble and her pink tippy toes. Just some glamor shots of her and her awesome, totally orange idk what you guys are on about "pink" toe, feet.

My little culinary arts prodigy filling his water dish again 😭 apologies for my shaky hands </3

So nice of it to molt right where it's easy to film

Not worried at all, I find it funny/interesting and I hope you will too :)

Hello, I just received my first T today, a brachypelma boehmei and just want to share some pictures of this beauty 😍. This subreddit helped me a lot to understand them more, and I'm really looking to see her growing.

I was supposed to also receive a GBB but unfortunately she died during the journey (looks like she started molding during the trip 😭).

Super happy to be a new tarantula dad, let's see how it goes with her :D

So gentle with her prey.

I’m about to become a first time tarantula owner of a 1/2” Arizona blonde sling. What I’m most nervous about keeping a spider this small is properly feeding it. Are fruit flies adequate? They just seem a little small even for such a little baby. I’ve seen some people say they use small freshly killed crickets and roaches or even just half of a cricket. Is this normal? And does it work?

My GBB Iovanny has molted! I'm so excited, especially after a molt went wrong with my last sling which led to their unfortunate death. I have made sure there is water in their enclosure, and i know not to feed for 7-10 days until their fangs harden, but is there anything else I should know?

Also, what do I do with the old skin? I removed it from their enclosure once they no longer were on it and they don't really seem to care that its out. How do you go about with the shed skin?

And some photos for reference ::::)

Not on purpose it just kinda happened that way

Anyone able to give me any advice please.

My Brazilian black seems to be stuck in its moult. It’s been around 12+ hours and this was the same position it was in before going to bed at 10 last night and it’s made no progress.

The enclosure is moist. I’ve given it an extra spray to boost humidity.

It is still alive as when I was spraying, a bit hit and it moved its legs and it was a fairly fast movement so energy seems to be good still.

Is it the case of just crossing my fingers or is there more I can do ?

The blurry photo was from last night 19:42 the clear photo is from 6:51 today

Sent a pic to my group chat and made a joke bout that I still haven’t shaved my legs lately 😅

and this is what I received.

💀💀💀💀

Thumbelina arrived here on 10/7 , refused meal on the 15/7 and molted 20/7

I know they are fast growers but i expected it to take me out on dinner first at least before the first molt 😭😅
And i have been informed about the high humidity needs but is there a simple trick to know when it’s too damp ? I tried to stick my repot thermometer with hydrometer probe in there and rely on numbers but she was is in a disagreement with me about that probe being in her house so i removed it again because it was stressing her out
