I work at a petstore, and in our horrible new display we have tarantulas in small containers. This guy came in and was okay day one, but the last two days and isn't showing signs of molt. Anything I can do to help? He's not clinging to anything, reacting to stimuli, but has been slowing down and not wanting to wander around. He will rotate or change positions, rarely, and in very small incriments. Has not moved from this spot in ~4 hours. No webbing. Again, his symptoms are: lethargy, not wanting to move, general weakness, not stable/falling over

Species: Mexican Fire Leg (Brachypeima Boehmel)
Age: UNK

Hello! I am looking for some advice for a small, front of house garden. Its a small area, maybe 10ft long in space MAX, of a doorway entry. It is my friends house, and he has asked me to help out with the garden in the front. The two homeowners, both guys (best friends, renting) are full time workers, do not have much garden knowledge, or a a lot of excess time for excess lawn maintainence other than watering and upkeep.

I've added photos of what's currently there and the space. I plan to add new mulch to the area and repair the weed barrier. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CURRENTLY PLANTED

We are in mid missouri (Columbia area). The garden is partly sunny, having coverage quite a bit during the day, but not enough to say it is full shade.

TLDR: My question is: what are some good plants I can put in there? Maybe something that will flower in the spring, go dormant, and then come back? There is already a dwarf evergreen closest to the door. I'm looking for something that adds a little color, lower end on maintainence, but is something that is weather resistance. Ultimately: What are some beginner friendly plants/flowers that would be aestheticly pleasing for some tech bros?

This is Loui. I just got him yesterday. It was unplanned but I saw him at a local pet shop and he just looked rough. Lethargic, covered in dirt, small flat cintainef with mold, dry food, and of course, his half antennae.

I've cared for hissers before but it's been many many years and I just can't tell what a pre molt looks like. I can tell it easily with mantids but hissers I struggle with. He was dehydrated yesterday and wrinkly. Today he's very plump with noticeable whitening between abdomen segments, and a line down his back. Thoughts? Advice as well. This tank is temporary, i'm quickly sourcing a larger tank and trying to find him a friend.

Thank you! ❤️
