    Wondering if I need to downsize?

    Are they pretty much escape proof? (I have young kids and a cat....and two dogs.....and a lizard so if the slings got out I wouldn't fancy their odds of survival )

    Slings vs dubia roaches

    So, this may be a silly question, and I apologize if it is.... But I know from experience (I used to keep a colony of dubia roaches for my beardie) that dubia roaches are quite tough/crunchy would a sling be able to eat/puncture one? Would they be best waiting until they're bigger? Or does...

It's lovely to see <3 thank you all for being...

    Hiya everyone!

    Hi everyone! I have a little 2-3cm Grammostola pulchra due to arrive tomorrow. This will be my second ever tarantula, I've had a Grammostola pulchripes in the past. I had a bit of a wobble MH wise and didn't feel able to continue to care for the little guy, so my BIL who is experienced took it...
