A pic of her a week or so ago.

Hi Everyone! I bought my versicolour about a year and a half ago. It's been such an amazing journey watching her grow! I put together her bioactive setup when I bought her so that the environment could establish itself and when she was big enough I transferred her across. I think she has been...

Loving our Pink toed and Brazilian Jewel Tarantulas!

Thanks. I will try the box. The plastic tub wasn't working at all. Lol...my questions wasn't answered...lol. I wanted to know about spinning when after rehousing

What is the size of the box and your heat mat wattage? Want to compare it to our heat mat.

How do you measure your heat gradient? What size is the box? We placed the heat mat on the inside of a plastic storage box and it didn't increase heat at all. The only heat was where the heat mat was. What wattage and size was that heat mat?

What is your temp gradient? What is the temp by the heat mat then away from it and to the furtherest point?

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the info on this forum. It really helped with preparing for our sling arrival. She has arrived - breeder thinks she is female, could be male. She arrived on Thursday and have her in her deli cup. Was wondering. She webbed well with the breeder and wanted to know how...

The corn and royal python as well as the crested gecko are on deep heat protector lamps. I just walked downstairs and took the infrared gun and while I wasn't able to measure the ambient temp in the terrarium the adult would live in I was able to take the heat around the terrarium and it was 12...

Ok...but..I'm struggling to wrap my head around the mat story. How would one create an ambience of 25ish using a heat mat? It won't heat the air. Only the glass will be heated.

We in the UK and it it gets cold here. When we are not in the house the temp can drop. The heating also isn't on at night. We would need to use a heat source during winter.

What would you recommend we use as a mini enclosure? Is the tub or cup that you keep the sling in not too small for a water dish?

We just checked with our heat gun and the area in the corner on top of our other snakes wooden Viv is bang on 25 degrees. If we place the cup in that area it should be warm enough?

Ok...I went into CFTN and there is a sling available. We have also chatted and my hubby and I will rather use a nano heat lamp instead of a heat mat when the spider gets big enough for the enclosure. How long in general do pink toes take to get big enough to go into the terrarium? I read a...

We own snakes and a crested gecko so know the ins and outs of humidity etc. That is not to say that we know anything about caring for a spider. We are researching and learning all we can before getting anything.
