Tarantulas and Spiders

[Louie]

My rosea molted yesterday for the first time w me. (which explained why she didnt eat for 3 weeks and I didnt disturb her for 2 weeks now). Did little research and it seems she is a female. Am I correct? I want some professional feedbacks here [IMG][/IMG]

Sorry for bad image quality but as you can see I see the "line" or "gap" (I forgot the term for it) and I was amazed how she changed into whole different tarantula w one molt

Nice Louie!! Give her a couple of weeks to harden back up before you feed her.
Looking female to me but I'm on my phone. Congrats!!!

So this week coming up is going to be nuts. Lots and lots of stuff coming in

congrats on the successful molt; glad all the advice and such helped you out...these guys here are pretty awesome


Only 14 more days til the expo....can't believe it!!! I can't wait for my versicolor.
About how much plastic "shrubbery" should I put in its enclosure?? I'm planning on keeping it in whatever it comes in until its first molt, and then I have a 16oz Peanut Butter jar I'm gonna transfer it into...I just need to know how much cover/height they need

I'm also going to purchase a pair of long tweezers to administer food/remove debris....any other supplies I should get??

The little LP will be a monster before you know it :p

Your versi will want to web up as high as it can get. Get some type of plant that is almost as tall as your jar. Make sure they are plastic.
Tweezers maybe a paint brush and a catch cup.

[Mephibosheth1]

I always forget the paintbrush...

Catch cup can be any size plastic restaurant ramekin/SOLO cup, or is there something that works better??

[3skulls]

Just something clear will work.

I'll post pics when I get my supplies

Meph this is what i have my versi in. He molted like a week ago so he's looking good.



His vial is simple and what ive had him in since i got him at 1/2". Hes molted twice and is probably 1.25" now.




A birds eye view:


All it is is substrate, One leaf off of a plastic plant, and a bottle cap for water to keep humidity up. You don't need to use a plastic plant, anything that they can anchor their webs to works just to help them make a more secure web.

[Mephibosheth1]

How do you refill the bottle cap?? Do you have a little hole in the side??

And you're using ecoearth for your substrate??
