Message: <blockquote data-quote="Toby_H" data-source="post: 191895" data-attributes="member: 36738">Hey guys.I've kept many fish, reptiles, amphibians, etc over several decades. Lately I've begun really enjoying building terrariums, paludariums, etc. I've never had a particular affinity for spiders nor insects, but also have never been turned off by them. Over the last year my niece has begun keeping Ts and our many conversations has begun sparking an interest. I have an unexplained interest in blue animals (I spent a decade breeding Blue Jack Dempseys) and am thus most interested in poecilotheria metallica. So... any input you have for someone experienced in related hobbies fresh to Ts, feel free to offer direction. Also... any input you can offer in building planted arboreal T enclosures, please feel free to share.Lastly... and somewhat specifically... I love the idea of putting together a larger, planted, poecilotheria metallica communal enclosure. I've watched a couple of YouTube videos and am off to look for more. If you have any links to people with this type of experience, please share. FYI, I'm in no hurry and am fully prepared to do ample research well before making any purchases. I understand while the poecilotheria metallica has a typically docile nature, they also have a nasty bite. It's not something I am taking lightly. Any T I get will be in a display enclosure and not something I plan to handle. I also understand the metallicas will hide all of the time and rarely be seen, that's fine. This just makes their rare showings that much more appreciated. I look forward for learning more, thanks in advance for your help!</blockquote>
