Tarantulas and Spiders

Well i don't see the dead roach any more. Guessing the golden has some how pulled it into the hide.. I have no clue where the exit hole is its a small space an I can't find one.

Sweet!
So she is just hiding and that's normal for her size.

She can be as sneaky as she wants inside of the cube. An keeps eating. Ten days ill drop another in

Nice packages :) Those millipedes do look cool. Youtube has ruined centipedes for me, I've watched enough videos that I'm convinced one could take on a grown man if it wanted to.
I got a package yesterday. I found my two incher.

Does it look ok? I was wondering if the little fella was kind of thin, but it doesn't look wrinkly or anything. Also, I had been looking at lots of pictures of really fat ones. It's a lively little thing- is in a different spot every time I go check in, and ate a small dubia. It was cute. The dubia ran under him to cuddle and he just sat there, then while I was wondering how I was going to get it before it burrowed, he just casually reached down and picked it up. It really likes to climb, too. I have the substrate 3 inches from the top, a little higher on the hide end. Is that high enough? Everything I read said 1.5-2 legspans, but I just want to make sure.

Thanks :)

Sounds like you got her enclosure set up right. Is the substrate damp at all? If so, maybe let half of it dry out and get the other side damp. Then you can slowly start moving her over to a dry substrate over the next couple of molts.

Aw does look a big skinny. Do you know her last molt? They will be on the skinny side after a molt.

You are feeding dubia so it should be no time before she is nice and plump :)

Congrats!

I tried to get it as dry as possible, but I'll make sure half of it isn't. I did put a water bowl on either side because it took 2 days to get here from the seller and I thought maybe that's why she was skinny. They didn't know when the last molt was. Do you think a regular feeding schedule will plump her up? Oh, and I have Turkistans, too. Is either roach more fatty than the other?

I don't really know anything about Turkistans. Feed her a meal about as big as her abdomen once a week and she will plump up really quick. I'm guessing both roaches will be great for her!

Just got the cages done!
2 for the versicolor and 1 going to my P. cambridgei that just molted. Just have to give her a few more days.
