Here's Clints reptiles reviews the GBB!!

The best way to sex them is to analyze the molts. This is what a female looks like.

I haven't posted here for a while. Life happens. What's the best (most reasonable) huntsman or wandering spider. I'll always love my Ts, but it would be interesting to see what makes true spiders the same or different. I'm assuming that both are arboreal like pokies... Or maybe I should...

The main thing with pokies is just don't handle them. Keep them in cages that open from the top to prevent escapes and include a cork bark round to help them de-stress. Rehousing can get interesting.

Yes, mine matured out as male & I traded him for P vittata slings. He was truly one of my finest ones. I still miss that guy...

My very first T was a L klugi female. I still have her!! She was about 1.5" when I got her. Now, she's about 6"-7" dls !! Any lasiodora is a great first T. Price and availability, as well as coloration, differs.

No. Pokies aren't communal. I keep all mine separately. The vast majority of tarantulas aren't communal. Pokies are fast and the venom is medically significant. They are also arboreal not terrestrial which adds to the difficulty. Look at bite reports from members of a genus & start with a...

It is but actually they're eating just fine & stay in the corkbark. I had fun rehousing pokies before and I think they're doing great in the corkbark, which is basically the actual cage. I wouldn't just throw them in a cage like that with no actual smaller space.

Here's my latest purchase from Casey K, 2 wonderful P metallica slings.

Latest Ts, 2 P metallica slings once payment details are worked out. Best of all, I found a cage that I forgot I had!! That means only 1 to decontaminate. This means that there is a third cage..... Hmmmmmm H mac? OBT? Singapore blue? P irminia? P pulcher? or maybe go b@ll$ to the wall and...

My very first invert was H spinifer, a scorpion. First T was C versicolor. He lived a long life. After eating some crickets, he molted suddenly and then became unable to climb the glass. Assuming he was dehydrated, I placed him into the water dish immediately. He had difficulty leaving it and...

I just remember seeing some footage of them escaping from side opening doors during feeding or rehousing, can't remember who though. Mine always run in horizontal spirals when they decide to rock and roll. Still, the side opening cages can be more convenient in some ways.

I'm not a seller & my critters aren't for sale. If funds are a serious problem, consider B vagans as a larger sling or small juvenile. They don't look as awesome as a GBB but the red and black coloration is awesome. They were Saturday evening the most affordable Ts totally under rated. They...

Actually you will. They tend to besplatter the glass

Reach out to Casey K it Jamie's tarantulas and see if you can work something out. I can't guarantee anything but they both are great to buy from. Don't forget that you also need a cage, substrate, water dish etc as well as the tarantula itself
