[QUOTE="TarantulaNoob, post: 144393, member: 28797"] dear everyone, In a few days I will get my first 5 T’s. I have experience with all kind of reptiles and invertebrates like scorpions and centipede/millipedes etc, but apart from a redback spider i’ve never had spiders/tarantula’s before. My 5 species are: Theraposa blondi i2- goliath birdeater Pterinochilus lugardi i5 - Fort Hall Baboon Pterinochilus murinus umv i2 - orange baboon Hysterocrates gigas i2 - Giant baboon Lampropelma violaceopes i2 - singapore blue And my current substrate is 1) plantation soil (pic 3) 2) coco husk (pic 1) 3) forest moss (pic 2) And I have fairly large enclosures (pic 4). My question, should I use the moss and husk aswell or should I build the enclosures with only the soil? And will it suffice this way (not mentioning water dish and warmth etc, just pure substrate/enclosure)? (I will also add hiding spots and a hollow tree bark for the L. Violaceopes.) Sorry for the long post and thank you for anyone answering! Ps, a dozen people already cussed me out on buying advanced dangerous species, please only advice and tips, i’ve had enough hatred already :) [/QUOTE]
