Tarantulas and Spiders

I added a couple more inches of substrate for it, and I'll try to post a picture as soon as I can. How can I tell if it's going to molt soon? I heard you aren't supposed to really feed right before or after they do that?

Their colors get dull and they develop a dark spot on their abdomen.

For smaller slings about a week is fine to wait. For adults, 2-3 weeks is usually fine.

Well my B. albopilosum molted last night and I was finally able to get the molt out before it got shredded. It's a girl!



And a picture of her from a few days ago.

Great pics! Love the B. emilia.

Thank you! I do too. She molted a couple weeks ago and is looking so cute in her new colors!

Kiwi (cause her butt looks like the fruit) my new Grammostola rosea. I rescued her 2 months ago from a guy who took her from a neglectful friend. She had no hair left on her butt, and was housed with two fat bodied yellow spiders. They kind of looked like those orb weavers, but brighter. Anyway she (definitely she) molted for me about a week ago. Snapped a couple pictures just now; she is so gentle.

Wish I had dusted the table first, but look at dem toofers.





It's so fluffy!
