Remove your tarantula from its terrarium and place it in a secure habitat so that it can t escape.
Dropped tarantula carpet 3 feet.
He isnt his normal self hes just sitting in his cage and wont move when poked or prodded or he is reluctant to move i called some vet hospitals and they said he may be stunned or dazed from the fall and i should give him 8 12 hours.
Rule 3 clean the terrarium regularly.
Ideally you should clean and disinfect the terrarium at least once per month.
Dropping a tarantula can kill it.
Land based and burrowers apparently do shatter from a drop of 3 4 feet.
Arboreals are better at surviving it though but will still probably kill them.
If you need to move a tarantula you can do so without touching it.
In fact it takes only a fall of a few inches to cause serious damage to the spider.
Because the exoskeleton is very fragile if a tarantula is dropped from a low height it will shatter and die.
Please try again later.
Tell me who dropped it mike or him.
Next you need to use a 3 bleach cleaner to scrub the terrarium and furnishings before you fill it with new substrate.
I dropped my tarantula from about 3 feet his abdomen is not broken and he is not leaking any fluid is he ok.
Woo thats wierd lol.
It s so fragile that if you drop a tarantula even a small distance it will explode or shatter.
Most tarantulas are terrestrial meaning they are ground dwellers.
Their cage should be approximately 3 4 times their legspan so if you have a 3 inch tarantula something in the 9 12 inch range is completely adequate.
Pet tarantulas don t require much space so please don t make the mistake of providing a large enclosure.
Using a container and a long stick or spoon can move the spider.
