[QUOTE="Stan Schultz, post: 185378, member: 28438"] Welcome to the hobby! Forgive me for blowing my own horn, but I know of nowhere else to point you. Read the section on arboreal tarantulas in the [B][URL='http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/g0.html'][B]Tarantula Keeper's Guide[/B][/URL][/B], beginning on page 246 of the [URL='http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/g3.html'][B]current edition[/B][/URL]. Yes, I wrote the book, but this is not a sales pitch. Save yourself $20 and check out a copy from a local public library for free! You should also thumb through the various pages of the [URL='http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/spiders.html'][B]Spiders, Calgary[/B][/URL] website, reading in detail those that attract your attention. They can save you a lot of money and a lot of dead tarantulas. Lastly, be careful about believing everything that pet shops tell you about caring for tarantulas. Many of them are far more interested in inflating the sale than giving good advice. In fact, a lot of them have no idea what they're talking about where tarantulas are concerned! If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask them here (start a new thread for each) so others can critique and maybe benefit from them. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
