At last count, how many tarantulas are in your collection?

They are a look but don't touch pet. One thing I noticed with mine is that she's very sensitive to substrate she doesn't like, which is anything with the slightest trace of vermiculite.

This no doubt applies to human skin as well.

In general, you shouldn't handle inverts.

I have only 1 possible vacant slot on my shelf and it would be for another 8x8x12 ExoTerra nano. It would be right beside my wireless router and my TV. From testing, I've determined that the temp in the TV room is about 70 to 71. By the router, it's 2.5 to 3.2 degrees warmer.

What would I put there?

Confirmed sexed, small in size, female pokie. Cost of enclosure, size etc would be best. Probably P subfuscia highland would be the best because that's their sweetspot temperature.

Where to find one that won't kill my wallet is another story.

Only one spot left tells me you should be shopping for more shelves!
