    How ridiculous am I...

    No one said you had to. No one said that deli cups were the ideal for anyone other than breeders. This forum is good, however, I have had my fill. I have used it for it's intended purpose. I see that over all people tend to use the enclosures they can buy in pet stores and the ideal set ups for...

    How ridiculous am I...

    The hobby can be a little cluttered with a hint of sheer frugality, personally if I enable the hobby based on frugality and what cute little cheap perfect plastic things I can keep them in I will have too many too fast. I couldn't just look at a plastic container with a pet rock in it and be...

    Chilean Rose Burrow

    My Chilean Rose dug a burrow and covered up the hole. She got a half gallon container with a few inches of substrate and has just taken over the habitat. The peat moss has been light enough for her to use well. The top of the burrow is fluffy with webbed peat. It just gave me a smile and I kind...

    "Cuddling" with Ts ?

    People with the big collections, that are not selling are breeder contacts, to loan males and study, they don't handle the tarantulas they study them and care for them. No one worries about them hoarding instead of hobby because they are contacts. It is the keepers like, oh.. say.. like me.. Who...

    "Cuddling" with Ts ?

    Well, I am glad they can stay in their habitat and do not require the interaction a cat, dog or hook bill parrot does. The A. Avic has me wondering given they can cohabit with one another whether or not that is of any actual benefit to the spider for whatever reason. They all have their unique...

    Texan breeder?

    The wild caught thing is really not something I am familiar with enough to say anything about, but I don't buy wild caught. They might know what they are doing and all and it seems like they do, they at least let people know when it was wild caught. Then it says they didn't sell any wild caught...

    Texan breeder?

    old video alert! so the subscriber deal might not be good. It was back in 2012. Kind of identifies them as breeders.

    Texan breeder?

    Ok, thanks. It was confusing trying to figure out who was who just to look up information. It is great how the vendors have you tube shows with various bits of info. Even if the prices are too high surely there must be some good info to be had out of it either way. Whether on facebook, youtube...

    Honduran Curly Hair

    Cloud forests and montane forests (mountain) are the type of forests where these Tarantulas can be found. They have a slow growth pattern. Five to ten gallons is what the adults require in enclosure size. The temperature can range from 70f to 85f. Humidity for this tarantula also called the...

    Texan breeder?

    I am just saying I don't want him to loose business because I am on a budget. I am not saying I wouldn't buy. I am saying that I found a vendor that is more affordable for me. It was an old video, still. I think he's moved up in business since this. I don't know. But, yeah, it looks reputable...

    Texan breeder?

    Whatever. Anyway I saw this you tube video. Is this the Stamps tarantula person? It seems like it. Looks like he's got a lot of spiders so if you can afford them, it doesn't look like a bad set up he's got. The video is about slings but it shows his tarantula room.

    What to do when you have a T bite?

    Ok that is great. Especially since the venom's are used in research. I am relieved. That makes it all the better now if guests think they can just walk up and open a habitat, if they get bitten I have a LOT less worry. Thanks ya'll. I was REALLY sweating that. Awesome. What a relief.

    B.albo

    Yeah, with DKS being a big thing with many unknowns Miracle Grow is great for plants but I am not so sure about anything else. The research will be there and that company does care for the environment and surely must have the science too to help the beneficial garden insects with the dirt it...
