    Acrylic enclosure

    Hi everybody, I’m new to the whole tarantula thing, that new I haven’t even got one yet (hopefully next week). I’m after getting a Grammostola pulchra sling next week and trying to set up an enclosure for it. I’ve bought a small acrylic terrarium and the bits but I’ve been keeping an eye on the...

    Avicularea Enclosure Size Question

    Hey there! I am just starting out my journey into tarantula keeping and I'm not sure what size of a tank to get. The spider I'm getting is an Avicularia Purpurea, hopefully female, so the leg span will be around 5". I have seen a lot of enclosures that are 8"W 8"L 12"H and i was wondering if...

    Putting Slings in Their Adult Enclosures?

    I'm planning on getting an N. Incei, which will most likely be sold at 1-1.5 in. They grow to 2.5-3 inches (from most of the sites I've seen). I've bought an 8x8 reptizoo enclosure from amazon and I was wondering if it would do any harm to put it in its adult enclosure as a juvenile and never do...
