I ended up getting my Grammostola pulchripes and since my order had to be a minimum of $30 I decided to get a Lasiadora parahybana. They are expected to arrive tomorrow around 10:30am - I will be at work but my boyfriend will be home for them, crossing my fingers I get off work early at 11 ^^ Getting their setups ready tonight, I found quite a few different containers I could use. I believe the CGK is .5" and the LP 3/4" - the containers I found were 2.5" wide and I bought a couple slightly larger ones just in case too. I was a little worried with the crazy weather changes here, so Ive been looking up how to make a micro-climate within a smaller tank. I have spare tanks left and right, but not entirely sure what temp to try and keep one at for these little guys at as I'm reading different crap and opinions everywhere - some say room temp mid 70s some say high 70s to low 80s. >.< Going to test out different sized tanks to try and get a steady read on those temps tonight. I might just grab the stuff from Ace to make a thermostat tomorrow...I'd prefer to set it up in the 2.5 gal to make things easier but it may be too small for my mat/too hot. We'll see! I should probably start posting in the "general section" about now lol. SO EXCITED!</p></blockquote><p></p>
