    Crushing concerns

    Random question from a newbie

    Hi all, I've had a quick scan across the boards but couldnt see a thread relating to this. I've got my 1st T (Accanthoscurria Geniculata) arriving tomorrow morning and I've got it's enclosure set up nicely, plenty of substrate, water bowl and some cork bark for a small hide. The only issue is I...

    Hi everyone

    Just on the off chance, are there any "must have books" for keepers? Or does husbandry and care change so often that many of them are obsolete? Just curious :) Oh, and thank you all for the warm welcome :)
