So now I have a room dedicated to my tarantulas I have some space which can only mean one thing more Ts please :T::) I'm gonna be adding to my collection big time and also hoping to start vloging never done vloging before but I'm gonna give it ago I love natural vivarium setups so I'll do video's on them and how I do them and hope to inspire people and educate those who don't get people like us who see Ts the way we do.

I'm hoping in may at the BTS to get a communal set up of the m balfouri
I love the look of the m robustum
You can't have a collection without a theraphosa species I'm also on the hunt of the pamphobetus sp arana pollito and whatever else tickles my fancy.

yep same here. just put the camera on a stand and forget about it, do your thing then go back and edit it so it looks really good lol ;) then when you get used to that move the camera around some, more editing, then perfect vids ;)

Hi pal, I have 9 balfouri at approx 2cm which I can free some up if you like. They are all separate atm but 4 did get delivered from Poland in the one container which was a bit of a surprise to me. I know they are communal but the thought of being in a confined space getting to the UK was just asking for trouble IMHO but they were fine. Message me if interested in balfouri. I will, also try and dig out a pic of a set up I had my geniculata in (a converted 190 litre corner aquarium).
Edit: I also have big plans next year. My spider house will be finished ☺

Very good. Spidershop.pl, spiders online and spiders.eu I have all used before. It was only ever thr balfouri though that was together and probably cos of thr fact they are communal. I have just ordered 18 more from spidershop.pl which will come in January. I would recommend the courier (bus) option when ordering though. Basically, delivered to your door at various points over the weekend (sometimes 3/4am so be prepared. ....lol) but at least they are not stuck at Heathrow airport for days on end. They get picked and packed Friday and you get them Saturay/Sunday. If you need vivs as well spidershop.pl sell them really really cheap. About £10 for a 30cm cube. All hand made and delivered as part of same order. Courier has always been £15 when I have used before but I have been quoted £17 this time but tbh, the spiders are so cheap compared to UK sites, you can live with that. Do it now before Brexit.....lol

Good choice. They are cool spiders and @Shampain and I have both discussed setting up an aquatic type home to watch them swim. Just don't tell pets at home what you planned for goldfish......lol
