Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stan Schultz" data-source="post: 229080" data-attributes="member: 28438">You'll probably not get banned from the forum for doing so, but it's considered good form to pose only one topic (e.g., question, observation, suggestion, etc.) per thread.Also, just as a suggestion, since you have so many questions, may I recommend that you go to your friendly, neighborhood, public library and check out a copy of <a href="http://werunique.us/schultz/g3.html" target="_blank">The Tarantula Keeper's Guide</a> (a.k.a, TKG3 and "the tarantula keeper's bible"). It's 376 pages of tarantula drivel. And, reading the whole book in one sitting has been known to cause brain damage. (I should know. I wrote it!) At least for the first sitting, just thumb through the book, reading sections that catch your attention, and looking at the illustrations. It will answer 90% of the questions you're likely to ask, plus another 90% of the questions that you should be asking, but don't know enough to do so yet.And to be clear about this, I am not using this forum as a place to advertise and increase my book sales. At least the printed edition of TKG3 is out of print, and generally only available from used bookstores. And it is unlikely to ever be reprinted again (except 50 years from now, when the copyright expires, as a <a href="https://store.doverpublications.com/" target="_blank">Dover reissue</a>). Thus, I am receiving no monetary remuneration or other considerations by pushing it here (except the satisfaction that I'm helping other enthisuasts enjoy their little buddies.)All is not lost, however. Perform an Internet search if you decide you want your own, used, printed copy.Maybe you should read parts of the book to your newfound little buddy? (Just to make sure that you're both reading from the same page! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> )StanP.S., Did I just violate the very rule I was preaching about in the first paragraph? LOL</blockquote>
