    Thank you! I have had to delay her arrival, she was due to arrive yesterday, as my whole house went down with flu. I’m going to rearrange for when we feel better. Bit nervous but think that’s because I feel so grotty right now. I was all ready and then my cold has made me lose confidence. ‍

    Not a Tarantula… a garden Spider? Oh the irony.

    My beginner Tarantula arrives on Tuesday and I’m very excited but after a spot of gardening 2 days ago I received this on my wrist. Do you think it was a Spider? I was aggressively cutting back some climbing plants. Keeping an eye on it but after treating it seems to have dried up. If it was a...

    Beginners substrate

    Thank you. I did read that very arid is not ideal. I watched Dave on you tube rehouse his GBB. And as a gardener im not a fan of coconut fibre as it is super dry and dusty. I will see what i can get before she arrives Tuesday. My husband has offered to upgrade my kit to something a bit nicer so...

    Beginners substrate

    Hello, newbie question. So in my kit I got a block of Terra Spider. (Coconut/Coir fibre). It says mix with water and then dry to correct humidity. My GBB likes it dry or a bit moist if it’s burrowing. But do I a) wet it and dry it out, b) use it as it is as it’s already dry or c) wet and it and...

    Welcome to Tarantula Forum!

    Hello, My name is Kate, I have never cared for a Tarantula before so this is very new. My Spider arrives next week. She is a sub-adult GBB. I became interested through You tube and yes, my own irrational fear of spiders. I have a one in the garden right now that I am trying to ID as in the UK...

    Hello. I am a newbie. After much research I decided on a GBB as my first spider. My only starting concern is they are described as skittish and fast. But I am sure more questions will flood in when she arrives next Tuesday. I did also consider The Nicaraguan Curly Hair and the Chaco Golden Knee...
