My Spider arrives next week. She is a sub-adult GBB. I became interested through You tube and yes, my own irrational fear of spiders. I have a one in the garden right now that I am trying to ID as in the UK garden spiders are very small and this one is quite large. She sure did make me jump! In terms of my Tarantula I am going to set up my tank for her with my daughter over the next few days and I got a starter kit which I hope to upgrade if things work out. But starting simple. I considered 3 spiders - the GBB, the Chaco Golden Knee and the Curly Fur. I was drawn to the prolific webbing though my concern is her speed. Nice to meet you all.</blockquote>
