OMG I kind of "rescued" a tarantula-- help!

wow that was a quick molt
Marieke usually spins a very thick cave of silk for her molting comfort, and that takes about a week or so
the actual process of molting, we don't really get to see

The i is first?
I thought it was spelling like this: Mareike

The way you just used looks better.

Mikhaila, I *think* I need to wait a day or maybe more... her fangs need to harden up. I just couldn't remember exactly. Your mom will probably know for sure tho. Thanks for all the good tips you gave me to help out with her!! And yours is SO pretty... I saw the pictures. Very nice.

What do your friends think about your pet tarantula??

id wait a week she may not take it right away.. they are very hearty inverts..

i want to know if it's actuly female or male.. it might have molted out male..

Parasites took the life of my beloved Charlotte. Chilean rosehair female that a very nice breeder gave to me after watching me fall for her. One day I found her on her back with worms crawling out of her butt. She was convulsing and I could tell there was no saving her, so I put her in the freezer to end her suffering

[GarterGirl]

That's sad
and disgusting

Is that you in the picture?

[Charlet_2007]

you sure it wasn't her spinnerets? they sometimes look like worms because they can move them really weird at times..

Natalie, I was trying to read on the arachnoboards on how to sex it but I think my brain was too tired yesterday. LOL Can you tell from the close ups I sent (Or was that the wrong end, LOL) or can you tell from pics of the molt? I haven't moved the molted part out of the tank yet, don't want to disturb her. Is it ok if it lays in there with her? It's not wet or anything that will get gross is it?

[GarterGirl]

I wish I could breed tarantulas.

[Lori P]

No you don't. There'd be thousands of little tiny creepy things ALL OVER your room.
