    Best way to leave the hobby

    Hey everyone. I'm looking for advice on getting rid of my T's. I've had what's left of my collection for a few years but due to my space restrictions and other hobbies I'm wondering what's the best way to do this? I'm pretty sure my local pet stores won't take them. Any help or info would be...

    Avic Avic behavior

    Thanks! This is by far my best set up. My other T's get rather plain homes but I'll improve them as they get moved;-)

    This is it's new home. 12×12×18 enclosure. It was in a xlarge critter keeper with alot of crickets when I bought it.

    Avic Avic behavior

    Hello everyone! I'm thrilled that I finally took the plunge and bought my first arboreal T. I've had it a week and it hasn't eaten..it exhibits all the signs of premolt but it looks like it recently molted. Up until today it hasn't been very active and any attempt at feeding leads to it pretty...

    To Repticon or not to Repticon?

    Lol..ok guys I've decided to go. I'm hoping there will be some nice selections there and maybe I can pick up 2 or 3 new T's. Not quite sure if I'm ready for a communal but will do some research. Will put an update up after the expo:-)

    To Repticon or not to Repticon?

    That's what I always hear but the one I went to earlier this year didn't have many T's and the prices were still kinda high :-/

    To Repticon or not to Repticon?

    Hey gang hope everyone (and their T's) have enjoyed the summer:-) I have to say I've learned so much the past few months taking care of my spiders. From molts to unfortunate deaths and an escape:-( I've finally gotten in a comfort zone of sorts when feeding and doing maintenance around my...

    Heavy webbers

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I'll do plenty of research so no worries about getting in over my head:-)

    Heavy webbers

    Besides the GBB what is another beginner species that will readily construct webbing in it's enclosure?

    Matching T's to enclosures

    What's going on everyone. How does everyone size the enclosures for their t's? It always seem I have too much space or maybe not enough??? I'm thinking about getting a 1" Lasiodora parahybana and not sure if it needs a small or med. enclosure. To reduce rehousings I like something a little...

    My "new" T

    Hey gang got a quick question. Just received my new A. Chalcodes sling this week. This is probably the smallest spider I have at maybe 1/4" in size (maybe a little bigger butt not much). Anyway the first few hours it was out in the open hiding around the small pieces of moss or the fake cactus...

    At last count, how many tarantulas are in your collection?

    Only 2 after (sadly) experiencing 2 deaths. In search of #3 as I type this reply..lol
