I’ve been researching into the New World T’s that do not/are least likely to “flick hairs” into the air; this one popped up in my research. Thanks again.

Been trying to find info on these with not much luck so far. What do you know about them? Do they have urticating hair? They seem to be in the family of NW that don’t but I haven’t been able to confirm.

What a wonderful idea! It seems that if given enough room, they can be kept communally into adulthood, as well; knowing that there is always an inherent risk, albeit perhaps low, of occasional cannibalism. I may look into this further and which species are best suited to this setup. Great...

I actually have access to a huge variety of T’s, so The E. campestratus is available, but sling only. The females are said to live up to 25 years, so I haven’t put it on my list. Still hoping that I’ll be able to find the Homeomma Chilensis/Euthlus sp. Red. And I’m also considering the...

Haven’t looked into how to sex an adult. I’m mainly looking at TarantulaCanada.ca for my T’s; slings only, but I’m ok with that. I also thought of that “dumping” of which you speak.

Definitely not a deal-breaker, for sure. I don’t plan on handling and I will be respectful and appreciative of the “nature of the beast”.

The poop-throwing isn’t a deal-breaker in the least, for me. I’ll just throw some back at it! I will have access to mostly very small slings, and so I won’t know the sex. There is someone selling a two(2) year old Curly Hair that is not too far from me. Not a reputable breeder, but an individual.

SOooooooooo pretty! But my husband is a HUGE movie watcher, and I fear that if he ever ventures to take a look at my T, he may see this ‘man-eater’ spider that he’s seen portrayed in the movies. I’ll replace the Hapalopus sp. Colombia with this, for now though. Thanks!

I also question how to maintain a food source for one(1) Tarantula. Although I must admit that I have an ddictive personality and will most likely not get just one. Haha! I have a bedroom in the basement that’s been converted to an aquarium room, so it’s always a comfortable temperature and...

Once I narrow things down, I may just do that. Sounds fun!

Hey guys! Thanks for replying. My criteria are these: - Beginner friendly. I have never owned a T before. - No phobia of spiders. - Not to exceed 6” (Preference is maximum 5”) - Not exceedingly long-lived. (I know, probably haven’t heard that one before, right?) - Not prone to throwing...

I am contemplating getting a Tarantula and would like some advice/opinions. After watching the keepers of Tarantula’s on Youtube for many months, I feel like I may want to venture into the acquisition of one, or more, myself. I’ve done much research and have narrowed down my choices. **I would...
