    Hello from Ontario

    Gorgeous T’s you got there. I’ve got a Tliltocatl Albopilosus, though mine is a little sling. I think it grew a little and so is now about 3/4 of an inch. I want a brachepelma Hamorii. Welcome to the forum.

    Rehousing

    Hey all, was able to rehouse my chromatepelma cyaneopubescens today. I’m hoping I didn’t go too big on the enclosure though. I went up to a 4” by 4” by 6”… mostly because the store I bought from didn’t really have anything in between that and my original enclosure that was 3.5“ diameter. In...

I’m not sure what I want for the fossorial because most are old world and while I think I may break my no old world plan, I’m not sure which one I want to get (but I’ve got time since that will be my last one). I actually...

    Starting again

    My first time keeping a tarantula was back in approximately 2008 or ‘09 when I was just fresh out of college. My first T was a Grammostola Rosea. This was back when we were told that we needed to keep a sponge in the water to keep the tarantula from drowning. Unfortunately, I had to give it up...
