Shopping for a Brachypelma

Long term commitment or short term? Males can live 5-8 years...females 25 plus. Some people are ok with a commitment with a pet for 5 years verses naming it to the next of kin in your will.

With that said I think I’ll go with a Female. I’d like to think I’ll live to see another 25 years. Can’t say for certain though. But I’ll be in it for the long term.

Heres my Grammostola pulchra. I have her in one of these enclosures from Zoo med. They are perfect for terrestrial spiders and are low profile so you dont have to worry about falling or injury. They run between $40-$50 for the enclosure.

Hello again, what about this
enclosure. Will it do? Or should I go with the 6 gallon?

Same size as I gave you or 45 cm cube would be good .

Hi, I’m planning on going with this T. It’s a “female 15cm.” And I’ll be going with this enclosure. Will the enclosure compliment the tarantula? I‘m a little OCD and am just double checking and am making sure I comprehend things correctly. I mean no harm. I’m just a little slow at times.

Looks good to me no harm in double checking

G. pulchripes is a wonderful first T, albeit slow growing, it can get quite large and slightly more inquisitive than a pet rock.

Do a bunch of research and get ready for the commitment before jumping in with a new, large T.

Have a good source for food items, for starters, and get the tank setup before the T arrives.

Congrats on entering a fun hobby, responsibly
