    Spiders can be quite particular about their surroundings I found. I used to have a large female Lasiodora parahybana which spent a significant amount of time in a clear plastic box about the size of a medium sized shoebox. I decided because she could pretty much touch the sides if she stretched out sideways, she was getting a bigger tank. Wasn't massively bigger, but she had space to stretch more if she wanted to. She became very 'quiet' and wasn't really eating much. Eventually I put her back in the small clear box and bam, back to eating well and looking good.

    Now, the question Is.. Are all wild tarantulas stressed??

    • @Lynthari
      @Lynthari 16 днів тому +54

      No and yes. Depends on the size but for the most part. Unlike spiders that have been bred in captivity these ones are used to being outside. There's a reason why you're never supposed to wild catch a tarantula or any animal/insect to keep as a pet.

    • @Cassiopea525
      @Cassiopea525 16 днів тому +50

      A better way to understand is to compare the locations they choose for themselves in nature. The vast majority of them will specifically choose areas with natural barriers around it to feel safer and less exposed. Natural barriers can include fallen logs, large rocks, small openings inside of rocky ledges, stumps, hollowed out tree trunks... They purposely choose places that are small so that predators can't reach them as easily. Like even in the large tank you can see the tarantula burrowed out a very narrow tunnel to create it's own smaller area in the too large space.

      ​@Juxielle tarantulas are not like that though. Many many of these tarantulas are still wild caught. How do they keep them in a tank. They don't care if it's in a large tank or small tank. As long as there are hiding spots for them.

    I only keep my salmon birdeater in a large enclosure mainly because it’s just huge and needs the space. I kept it in a small (about 20x20cm) enclosure when it was a juvenile but then once it grew to half of that i moved it to a larger one so it just has space to roam around freely. I know she’s not stressed as she very rarely hides and as a skittish species, is extremely docile never showing any signs of agression

      Many of them will specifically choose areas with natural barriers around it to feel safer and less exposed. So you could have a large tank, but would need to add those sort of natural barriers to make it feel safe. Natural barriers can include fallen logs, large rocks, small openings inside of rocky ledges, stumps, hollowed out tree trunks... They purposely choose places that are small so that predators can't reach them as easily. Like even in the large tank you can see the tarantula burrowed out a very narrow tunnel to create it's own smaller area in the too large space.

    I think she was actually really happy and that big room for her let her burrow deep and build side shafts for escape and ventilation. It’s a shame you had to dig up her home, but I’m glad you learnt she was actually growing and happy in that large enclosure, just hard to keep track of. All your basics are down pat, so you should have confidence if you don’t see them.

    I honestly think enclosure size depends on the species & individual tarantula. I have an around 3ft x 1ft enclosure for my b harmorri because she’s very active and seems to have no problem finding food (I have a food bowl for her so the roaches don’t burrow or hide under cork bark). I see her out of her web/cave 70% of the time. I used to keep her in a 12” by 12” and moved her because she kept climbing on the walls and ceiling. My P. Esmeralda on the other hand is barely out, I keep her in a 12” by 12” because she wouldn’t use a larger enclosure.

    Why would they get stressed by a large vs small enclosure? In the wild, there is no enclosure. If an animal is not eating well, one of the few indicators of possible stress we can observe, it can be for a number of reasons and does not necessarily prove they "don't like" the enclosure size.

Only thing is a sling in an adult enclosure unless you can see where they have setup it does make feeding harder but for adults im very against the too big idea.
