    Tarantula Pet Names

    Naming Tarantulas is part of the fun, I have a Female King Baboon Tarantula named Fluffy, I have 2 GBB 's named Lady Blue legs and Lady Green Body.. I have an adult female Pumpkin patch named Styx..... The names in my opinion are part of the excitement of keeping them.

    I need help with my tank setup for my gbb

    I literally just bought 2 of the same exact enclosures yesterday. Perfect for my 1 1/2 inch GBB slings. I have 2 little GBB 's. These should be good for most of their lives, but time will tell. Good luck with your Tarantula.

    Theory about Cameroon Red Baboon tarantula

    I couldn't agree with you more, it's a good feeling to know someone else thinks this theory is valid. Thanks. I'm definitely in agreement about them branching off in wet and dry directions, makes total sense..

    Pelinobius muticus - King Baboon Tarantula

    How old does an adult female have to be in order to be paired? I have an adult Male and Female, she's 6yrs old now, is that old enough to mate? Are there any signs to look for to tell if she is?

    Theory about Cameroon Red Baboon tarantula

    Buying a Tarantula from Back Water Reptiles...

    I would be very interested in knowing how your order turns out, I have considered ordering from them but did not because of their reputation. If your order ends up being good, I may reconsider my opinions. Good luck!
