    A wild newbie has appeared!

    Thanks, I'm a big geek at heart. :p I've noticed that the main part of the borrow it spends most of the time in has gotten much bigger. It may have molted already when I wasn't home. I have noticed it's appetite has increased and it comes out more often looking for a meal. It's also starting to...

    Caring for our new B. albopilosum sling

    I was actually planning on getting a versicolor but when I went to go buy one they were all sold out. I had bought the arboreal sling and juvenile cages the week before then ended up getting a terrestrial instead. lol Oh well I'll keep them around. Really? Mine isn't very skiddish and it...

    Caring for our new B. albopilosum sling

    I have both the arboreal and terrestrial version and they're exactly the same except where the vent is placed. But I'm not worried about my sling falling because it spends all of it's time under ground. Hasn't even tried. Good luck capturing your sling. I would just wait until it's out of it's...

    Caring for our new B. albopilosum sling

    A lot of people like deli cups or 6 dram bottles for slings. I don't really dislike the size of my enclosure (I also have the cage Jamie makes) it's just so hard to see my sling through the bark (I used mine) and moss. Also hard for me to tell if he's eating (I went with the fruit flies)...

    Caring for our new B. albopilosum sling

    Yeah, that's definitely for the best. I wasn't even planning on getting a T that day. I just like to visit the pet shop sometimes because I feel bad for the animals there. I saw the spiders and felt bad for them because I never really saw anyone looking at them so I took one home. I live in...

    Caring for our new B. albopilosum sling

    I had one like 2 years ago, it was a pink toe male I got from a petshop. Unfortunately it only lived a few months. I don't know if they took poor care of it at the shop, if it was there a long time and was old (wasn't a sling) or what. But in the short time I had him he was the best pet I ever...

    Caring for our new B. albopilosum sling

    I got mine last Thursday. It was supposed to be Wednesday but my package got delayed for some reason. I was a little worried but the T arrived just fine and healthy. :)

    Caring for our new B. albopilosum sling

    I also got a curly hair from Jamie. :) Check out her youtube, she has some videos explaining how she does things. How to set up her enclosures, how often she mists ect. My T also burrowed the first night and spends a lot of time down there. Personally I feed mine every 3 days (twice a week) and...

    Hello, everyone~! <3 I got my first Tarantula last week. It's a Curly hair. I think they're very cute in their own odd way. :) (s)he built a very nice burrow the very first night while I was sleeping. It's a very nice tunnel that covers at least half of the enclosure and it has at least two...
