I spend most of my time looking through thespidershop.co.uk. they seem to have the best range of options ive seen so far. Just took the plunge and ordered 4 slings. Postage was a few quid though.

Im thinking of getting some slings because, well why not. However, ive heard they can be difficult and die easy. So do people usually get a couple of the same species to maximise the odds of getting one to adulthood or is it fine when you just get one and look after it properly?

Thats a pretty good idea to be fair, my room loses so much heat though its unreal so it would cost me a fortune to keep it warm so ive got them in the warmest corner, im just thinking about when it gets real cold. I read the same thing about heat lamps too, someones T just went under the light...

I can sit in there comfortably but i like it real cold. Cheers ill definitely move it later then and probably turn it off and see how they do.

Think ill be looking into some of the smaller ones. They sound ideal. I really want one of those cobalt blues aswell, i think their proper name is haplopelma lividum. Mine are so chilled i can do any maintenance with my bare hands, i want something angry and ive read they are real nasty and they...

Wow fair play. Im having to be careful because i already want way more tarantulas than i have space for. Whats the best webbing T you've had so far? I really want one thats going to make some crazy webs.

Mines the same. Im still a tarantula noob so i worry at the slightest thing but last night, when i should of been resting up for work, i was sat watching to see what it gets up to at night and i caught it making a little web, so naturally i got excited and then it just destroyed it and stormed...

Now that is a brilliant idea. I was going to go buy one like an idiot, have you seen how much they charge for branches in a shop? Its ridiculous.

Hi all, excuse the long post but im having a 3 day long bout of anxiety about heating. I keep a heat mat in between my two enclosures and put about a third/quarter on top of the mat, just so theres a bit of heat there if they want it (ive attached a picture). Ive only just turned it on as its...

Sounds pretty staright forward, may well get some soon. Are they very active? Or is it like tarantulas, depends on species and individual?

Yeah ive got a big hollow bit of bark in there he likes and i ordered a branch but as you can see it is not very big, thinking of investing in a bigger one.

I just got a corn snake, they let me hold it in the shop and i was going to wait till payday but i just figured ide already eaten that week may aswell get a snake instead and bought it the next day. Likes to climb a lot...

I just got a corn snake, never really wanted snakes that much but there was this real curious friendly one in the shop and they let me hold it. I was sold on it almost instantly.

Yeah ive wanted a pinktoe for years, never bought one but done a load of research on what it needs which made me real nervous about humidity and ventilation but it seems fine. I bought the g.pulchra first after a lot of thought and google searches then i just couldnt help myself when i saw the...

What are scorpions like to keep? I keep thinking about getting one.
