Message: <blockquote data-quote="Web" data-source="post: 154773" data-attributes="member: 29322">Hello, I'm new to not just the group here, but to having a tarantula named 'Q'; yes she is a  Honduran Curly Hair a.k.a. Curly Q. Yeah well anyway, I've had her for about three months now. For the first month and a half I never saw her come out of her den that she started constructing one the first night; while I slept...lol. Now she comes out even in the late evening before lights go off, and I'm being able to really enjoy the digging, the pouncing and her just chillin' at the entrance. I was told that the 29 gallon tank was a 'bit overkill', but she's happy (or content) and must feel comfortable with her seven to eight inch substrate of a layer of forest floor, layer of dirt, and a layer of moss with forest floor and oak leaves on top.Because of my name I thought it would be cool to have a spider - you know, something spinning a web - but I'm happy with my B. Albopilosum.</blockquote>
