Robert here,

Very new to the hobby, but I do have reptile experience. I’m trying to figure out if I can keep a tarantula in my glass lidded terrarium and start there.

Welcome and what size-for the aquarium and the Tarantula. Life stages requires different sizes as well as terrestrial, arboreal or burrowing? So many T's to choose from.

Greetings and welcome aboard!

Big thumbs up from me for posting this before you bought a tarantula! It's 1000 times better to say what will fit in here than getting something and wondering if it will fit and for how long. What are your enclosure dimensions?

What things about tarantulas appeal to you? You got all sorts of colors and behaviors to pick from.

Welcome along. I have just been reading about the WW1 pilot Fred, (Friedrich Wilhelm,) Zinn who came from Battle Creek.

At the East of England Invertebrate Show last year I brought two enclosures & then went & found two spiders to put in them. In my case, I brought a Curtain Web & a Huntsman.
