    Can I See Your Adult Avicularia Versicolour Habitat?

    I wouldn't if boughten that type or age if it hadn't been a gift :) so now its time for me to choose my own and I will make an informed choice. I've owned a huge array of critters and this was the first one I had been uninformed about....it won't happen again!

    Can I See Your Adult Avicularia Versicolour Habitat?

    He didn't make it :( He spun a web, molted and then promptly died. So this go round I'm buying my own tarantula and I will be doing some solid research and choosing something not so fragile

    I Don't Know What's Going On

And he isnt stretched out...he is curled up. Stretched out wouldnt concern me. And every breeder and...

    I Don't Know What's Going On

    About two weeks ago my hubby bought me a avicularia versicolour as a suprise. He knows nothing about spiders so he went on the word of a breeder that it was an easy sling to care for....he was rooked we have since come to learn. So upon arrival I transferred Zazu in to a larger and taller deli...

    Can I See Your Adult Avicularia Versicolour Habitat?

    The snakes need roughly 75 to 80F ambient IN the enclosures. So the room is usually kept about 10 degrees cooler as the heat tape raises the temp enough as its hooked up to a thermostat. So the room is generally 65 to 70

    Can I See Your Adult Avicularia Versicolour Habitat?

    I doubt cold will be an issue if I keep it in the snake room as they have similar heating requirements. Where as the snakes do have heating tape in the rack the ambient temp in the room is kept at a temperature that would be fine for the tarantula.

    Can I See Your Adult Avicularia Versicolour Habitat?

    This isn't my first tarantula, not even my first aboreal. It is my first sling though. I would not of gotten one so small had I been there but I wasn't so I have to learn and work with what I have. And I'm trying to learn what I can before it comes home today to try and prevent said mistakes...

    how long does it take for such a small spider to grow? How does feeding go for this size? Pinheads I assume but how many and how often? Is the Tarantula Keepers guide a book? I can't go get a book now but just so I know

    Hit Me With All The Info You Have!

    I don't have it yet. The reptile show my hubby got it at is in another city so it will be home tomorrow. It looks like it's in a plastic solo container with holes on the top. Do I poke holes on the side or does it need a whole other container?

    Hit Me With All The Info You Have!

    Quite some time ago I had your basic pink toed tarantula. I bought it as an adult and it didn't live that long. About a year and a half with me. While it lived I got in to a relationship and my new beau said no more spiders! He has since come in to an addiction of his own where critters are...
