Hello! New T. Mom, Here!

[Spaced_Out_Cadet]

Hiya! I’m not new to keeping spiders, but I am new to keeping tarantulas. I’ve done a lot of research, watched videos, read articles, etc., and thought joining this forum couldn’t hurt. I’ve bought all supplies as recommended by various sources, have been diligently working on setting up enclosures, and am picking up my first slings on Tuesday. I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve decided to go with a Lasiodora parahybana and a Grammostola pulchripes for my first rodeo. Is there anyone out there with experience raising these two types of Ts that could offer any wisdom or advice or recommend any must have care items that I may be forgetting or have overlooked? Thanks!!!

Hello & welcome to the forum.

Two good choices for your first T's. LP's, (Lasiodora parahybana's) are lovely T's, I have several & size wise are impressive. They also grow at a reasonable rate. While anything Grammastola, is slow growing, but with some of the best temperaments in the hobby & the Pulchrapies is a another largish-ish, beautifully coloured T.
