Message: <blockquote data-quote="octanejunkie" data-source="post: 47031" data-attributes="member: 3872">Good morning fellow T Keepers!I've placed an order for a B. albopilosum spiderling fromJamiesTarantulas.com set to arrive next week - expected size is 1/2"-3/4" along with a spiderling enclosure kit.This will be a surprise for my daughter along with a copy ot the Tarantual Keepers Guide, schedule to arrive today, so she can "pre-research" the purchase *wink wink*Our local pet stores only carry crickets, and I've been down that road before when I owned a house, keeping crickets as feeders, and I'm not keen on the idea in an apartment.   I am contemplating ordering a colony (mixed size) of B. laterals, Rusty Red Roaches, to maintain a stable food source for our T.Can anyone share any experiences with keeping B. laterals long term, including housing and food items required?I'm open to other food item recommendations too.</blockquote>
