Already want more tarantulas!

[Brittni]

I first adopted a Chilean Rose hair from a crazy lady off craigslist. It was a fair deal and came with hide/terrarium. My spider was left in with tons of dead crickets and the lady would just dump a whole bag in. At first, I didn't even like spiders - was slightly afraid of them; however, overcame this quickly. He/she was the first tarantula I have ever picked up in my entire life. His/her name is Fluffy.

The first molt I ever witnessed. Can't wait for another!

After upgrading my dartfrogs, I had a leftover 5gal which I decided to get another tarantula. I researched what colors this local reptile shop had by me; however, didn't research temperament at all. Ended up with my little OBT, Creamsicle. I love it's shiny green toes and can not wait for him/her to get bigger!

Now these aren't the most recent pictures, it's made a HUGE web mansion that he/she can travel throughout. It started by digging a tunnel/webbing underground but not sure there's enough substrate for that. Hasn't touched his hide at all! It's basically where the crickets hide. And it hasn't molted yet.

I want more tarantulas already!

It's an addicting hobby lol I've lost count of howmany I have.
quick word of advice though, get rid of that repti-bark. It's horrible for Ts.

My OBT has the eco-earth compressed brick dirt, is that any better?

 

[Nada]

Yep, Eco-Earth is as good as it gets.

Welcome!

You have a couple of gorgeous T's there! There is an OBT at a local shop that they ordered by mistake....I'm still too nervous to own one, but I keep thinking about that poor thing never finding a home because of it's temperament hehe.

I so want an Orange Bitey Thing!

I think if it were just me living in the house I wouldn't be so nervous. I just wouldn't want an accidental 'teleportation' escape when I have small animals and a little boy in the house hehe.

I just sent you a PM about OBTs

Getone! majorly under-rated Ts.

 

[DalilahBlue]

I think an OBT will be my first fossorial T. I love their personalities.

They're not really fossorial. They don't burrow. They'll make an elaborate web/funnel at the base of their hide, or a piece of Bark, I'll take some picture when I get home.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Ah! I am mistaken. You are correct. But I still want one.

 

[Nada]

Ah! I am mistaken. You are correct. But I still want one.

I strongly believe every T keeper should habve at least one.

 

[Bast]

Well, thanks to Kenny's PM...I have made a telephone call to the petstore haha

 

[DalilahBlue]

Yay! If my hubby hadn't thrown such a fit about a B. vagans I likely would have ended up with one in my last order...

 

[DalilahBlue]

When are you picking her up?

 

[Bast]

Seems like the current price is too high for that T (shocker lol), so going to leave it for now, but I'm going to keep checking back to see if they lower the price. Really wish the T hobby was bigger here. I'm going to go have a look at another store tomorrow that just got a new shipment in. None of my 'wishlist' spiders are on there, but I want to see if something catches my eye anyhow. I have some B-day money (and a desire for spiders) burning a hole in my pocket right now lol

 

[DalilahBlue]

I have been absolutely dying to go to the shop where I got my juvie B. vagans again. But I know if I go I won't leave empty handed and my hubby will kill me!

If you take all your slings deli cups, and put them inside one large bin, technically you only have 1 enclosure... can you get 4 more?
