This forum doesn't seem to have a sexing area so hope okay to post here. S/he has been very difficult to get a photo of from the underside, mostly because of the webbing. This is the best on I've had so far

Thank God the UK doesn't actually get too cold compared to other places in the world...glad they arrived safe though.

Too slow apparently...another time!

I like the duo glass but it would be a great option to have a front-opening version for arboreals that web up high. I can't use top opening for half of mine because they web up to the top and it would destroy their hammocks/tunnels

Looks very stressed. He's only had a day to recover from the ordeal...give him time to feel safe again even if it takes a while

I use a mix of coco coir and clean topsoil (not compost) for my terrestrial Ts. I find that it holds its shape a little better so better for anything that burrows. It also helps it go further and last longer when I buy it since top soil is cheap.

Those need a lot more in the way of ventilation for arboreals like Avics. Bottom and top of sides on at least 2 sides, and top of enclosure

I dropped an entire container of bean weevils a few weeks back...I am BEYOND thankful it wasn't my red runners. At least bean weevils are slow and at this time of year won't be an issue for crops

If nothing then I think The Spider Shop looks for males for their breeding program...I think this was one on their list

I assume you are a breeder. Do you post here when you have spiders ready to go? I'd love a D. sp panama

The T. albos are so much more appealing in person than any picture shows...bought one as my second T on impulse after seeing a SA/A locally. Of course I haven't seen it in 3 weeks because it's in pre-molt but looking forward to a bite of size and some more beautiful blond hairs. I was skeptical...

I swore only 1...now up to 7. I can't go too far down the rabbit hole due to space. I will be maxing out at 8-10 (depending on the species).

Reminds me of the article of the woman in the Utah mtns (Uintas) who claimed to have been bitten 15 times by brown recluse spiders...firstly the don't live in the mountains of anywhere north, and not even in northern Utah. However as far as finding Ts calmer...I know several people who tolerate...

Down in West Sussex England here. Invert Shows has an expo in Glasgow each year but already gone this year. The Spider Shop online has been a great place to buy from for me...think they are Wales based. Another good one is SoManyLegs
