Gift ideas for a tarantual collector

[SpiderGirl]

Hi everyone,

I am new to the site and looking for suggestions for a Christmas present for an avid tarantula collector. He currently has 50+ tarantulas and I was hoping to steer clear of buying him anymore live ones.

Any suggestions? I have a few ideas, but I don't want to post them in case he is reading this.

I appreciate any help, thank you!

Buy him a big bulk block of coco coir.

This is hysterical! I have a pulchra just like the one in the pic too!

My daughter is going to laugh at this one when I show her after school tonight.

A lovely little book I bought ages ago is The Tarantula by William J. Baerg available ttps://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/the-tarantula/author/william-j-baerg/. It's an old book about a guy who studied Ts in the wild around his home/college in the US and I found that although it uses out of date names for some species it really helped me understand a lot more about our 8 legged friends. A very easy read too.

You could get them a documentary like this one, but the actual DVD, or at least download it and burn it for them.

Sending an online link as a present is tacky.
