    Review by 'Bambu' on item 'cold blood'

    cold blood was kind enough to offer me 2 G. pulchripes slings for $15 shipped, they arrived healthy and active. He also included a couple deli cups and some moss! To top it all off, he checked in 30 minutes after the delivery to make sure they arrived safely. Wonderful seller and wonderful guy...

    My future first tarantula

    Ah, no problem, man. I'm by no means an expert, but I'm going to say those are probably G. porteri. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)

    My future first tarantula

    Was there a previous thread or something I'm missing? I'm not entirely sure what the topic is. OP, do you want a recommendation for a place in Miami to purchase from? On your way to get your first tarantula and will update us after? Have a place in mind and wondering if they're reputable? No...

    Update from a beginner

    And she got right to filling the water dish with dirt, moving the plant and moss to the other side of the terrarium, and completely ignoring the hide in favor of making her own burrow in a difficult place. She also tries escaping every possible opportunity and resists the will of the paintbrush...

    Update from a beginner

    Went to a reptile show today, picked up an (young) Adult female A. chalcodes (now named Sunny.) Set her up in an Exo Terra Breeding Box with some dry (loose) coconut fiber, a small plastic plant clipping and moss for (completely unnecessary) decor, halflog hide, and plastic water dish. Looks...

    What should be my first T

    Yeah, I'll have a "What Should My First Tarantula Be?" with a side of "I'm Considering an OBT" and a large drink. "What kind of drink?" An "Is A Ten Gallon Aquarium With Sand And A Heatmat Good?" "Anything else?" Oh! And a "How Often Should I Mist?" for dessert please.

    What should be my first T

    You've convinced me to pick one up at a reptile show today, right when I was telling myself "I maybe won't get one and save my money". I hope you're proud of yourself, lol.

    What's your "common name"?

    Texas Flame Patch. Sounds like a good beginner species. :D

    Comment by 'Bambu' in media 'P. metallica sexing'

    I thought the thumbnail was Batman's head for a second. That's all I have to add.

    Update from a beginner

    Hey all! Glad this thread is still open. Just received two G. pulchripes slings from cold blood, both are positively adorable and already full of personality. One is named Monte and the other is Zuma. Just set them up in deli cups, going to try feeding them in an hour or so. I think next I'm...

    Battle of the Brachypelmas

    Put a vote in for albo and vagans. They're the only ones I have experience with, but I love that albos' have such a distinct visual "feature" (their common namesake) that separates them from most other Ts. My albo is also adorable when she refurbishes her burrow. I love how she scoops and piles...

    Wildest T Questions You've Been Asked?

    I've never heard anything about "defanging" a tarantula ever. How can people even think that's an option? Where did that (apparently common) notion come from? o_O

    Do you really keep a "Wish List"?

    I have a mental one. Top of it right now is Pamphobeteus platyomma. :P

    What dwarf to get?

    Sound like they'd make for some good experience for me then. I'm gonna look into them, thanks!

    What dwarf to get?

    How are Hapolopus sp. as far as speed and temperament goes? Defensive? Skittish? Fast? They look pretty rad, I really want to get a dwarf sometime.

    Is Large Abdomen a Problem?

    So can you just feed slings as much as they'll eat to help them grow, or is there a point when you should stop?

    Worst Part of the Hobby?

    The stigma from uneducated and/or ignorant people. I've never had to deal with it, but I've seen webcomics and such. "Big spider? Lolnope killitwithfire xD", gets under my skin.

    Your friendly neighborhood spider fam

    Yeah, until you get an Adamant shiny with perfect IVs. Until then, lots of daycare visits and egg hatching. Ugh.

    Help choose next tarantulas

    So much A. geniculata talk and recommendations the past couple days its seems. Mine can't get here fast enough, I want to see the legendary feeding response in-person already! >.< I feel like I'm climbing the experience-ladder to the "Dream Pokie Final Goal" pretty well so far (though probably...
