Awesome. What did you use for substrate?

These are beautiful. I'm thinking of something similar for my t stirmi when it gets near adult size. What lighting do you use?

Destiny fan then?

Looking nice. Is it a regalis?

Wow, firstly I can't beleive I read all that. I feel like I need a little nap now. Secondly, it's extremely unfortunate that these days for a small/new business to be successful, a Facbook profile is required. I personally hate Facbook and have avoided it like the plague for the last 9 years or...

Yeah, get rid of the lamp I reckon. Sounds like it's drying the enclosure out too much.

My male N. chromatus matured at the weekend. I'm willing to loan him for breeding if anyone is interested.

Excellent. He's now my faveourite MP (mind you, that's a bit like saying 'Chlamydia is my faveourite STD'). I hope he isn't told to remove it.

Despite it being an arboreal T, I think the P Irminia will quite often make a ground level lair when young. I provided mine (now a 2" sling/juve) with two pieces of vertical cork bark next to each other which would have made a perfect hide for arboreal T's, but it has made a ground level...

Actually they may have been tungsten after all. They're gold anyway!

@kormath if you search for 'acrylic tarantula cage' and look for the one with 'Apet LLC' written on the picture in green. This is the type I bought.

Tiny crickets if you can get them. If not, get the smallest you can and pre-kill them. I've also fed slings that small a leg or head of a bigger cricket. I imagine they will scavenge quite a bit in the wild. I've heard of people feeding tiny slings fruit flies too. Edit: flightless ones would...
