    Welcome! So where in Texas did you run into T’s? And what type were they? Just curious as I live in TX..

    I will do. I’ll also put some Vaseline around the edges, I read that works well too.

    Thanks for the tips. I like your modified enclosure...I was actually looking at some different sized clear plastic spice jars on Amazon with the flap lids so you can open only halfway if you want, good for feeding and or maintenance for possible future arboreal OW’s. I’ve done a bunch of...

    Thank you for the advice! I will definitely consider the ones you mentioned. I have many Pamphobeteus on my list actually, such gorgeous colors and voracious appetites make them very appealing. And I know what you mean about the Solaris - my jaw dropped when I saw the cost of a 2 in female..I...

    Yes actually after doing some more research I don’t think I’m quite ready yet for a pokie...I am getting a g. pulchra and p. sazimai in a couple weeks and I may also add either a grammostola iheringi or an m. balfouri along with an avic. to the order. At least the avic. will help prepare me for...

    That’s good to know, that is one I was seriously considering as I love the colors! And there is a 1.5-2 inch available for a decent price that I was eyeing..

    Introducing Miranda, Harriett, Wanda

    GBB, A. geniculata, Curly hair. Wanda is my favorite (so far), she was very curious when I first unpacked her and put her in her new home. As I was filling up her water dish she hung out in the opposite corner, waited about 10secs after I was finished and then sauntered over to see what I had...

    Anyone have experience with a p. rufilata? Would that be a good beginner OW?

    Thanks everyone for your input. Actually m. balfouri and h. pulchripes were 2 on my list of Old World’s I wanted to acquire one day, I remember reading h. pulchripes was actually a pretty calm good beginner one, and of course m. balfouri has those stunning colors. I actually quite like how the...
