is this an alright setup for a balfouri sling? Do they really need the depth to burrow or will they start webbing at this size? It’s about 3/4 of an inch

The B. Albo and G. Pulchripes will make great first T’s :) they were my first two as well. Just don’t be afraid of getting anything that isn’t a ‘reccomended’ first tarantula. So long as you do your research and always remember what they’re capable of, you’ll be fine. My only real advice would...

My first T was a G. Pulchripes, and it took a year for it to stop being an absolute psycho haha. I feel like the whole ‘first T’ dilemma is a bit overthought

The GBB and the Hapolopus sp. Colombia are notably quicker than the former three that you mentioned, but they'd all make fine first tarantulas, given you're aware of what they're capable of. Don't overthink it! Just go for whichever appeals to you the most.

how long does everyone wait for hot glue to cure when used in enclosures? i don't usually rush these things, just wondering if leaving it overnight is longer than necessary

Yeah the seller was unsure but told me it’s likely a subspinipes. This was the adult picture I was shown for reference

was a lot smaller than I thought it’d be haha. Is there a high mortality rate for pedelings? How often do you reckon I should feed something this big? It’s about 2.5”. I feed my slings about once a week, would that be alright?

For sure. Appreciate all the help

Yea the seller himself doesn’t know the Sp. but says it’s presumably a subspinipes. My only real concern is the temperatures really, wasn’t sure if pedes could tolerate the fluctuating indoor temperatures as well as T’s. I’m from Malaysia so it’s naturally pretty warm, hence the need for air...

Eh might be a silly question, but does anybody who stores their substrate in large amounts in tubs with lids put ventilation holes in them to prevent any kind of mould breakouts? or would it be just fine without any holes?

I’ll be picking up an Indo black tip. How large exactly do they get? And do they feed on super worms?

so pretty much the same temps as i'd keep any T that's of the same locality then? does care for pedes deviate much from that of T's? can't seem to find any proper caresheets online

Hey, I live in a pretty naturally humid country (Malaysia), and was wondering if it'd be okay to keep pedelings in a room that's air conditioned throughout the night?

does anybody keep their pedes in air conditioned rooms? Looking to pick up an S. subspinipes and was wondering if I’d have to keep it in a separate room from my T’s due to the air conditioning

Was the mealworm cut in half or something? if so it could've just been feeding on the fluids. Don't worry too much, it would not have gone for a meal had it not been ready.

been using tap water with no problems whatsoever

Geniculatas are great showcase specimens that are very fun to keep. Versicolors on the other hand are among the prettiest t's out there! bit tricky to keep as slings but definitely doable with the right advice.

Ease yourself into that area of the hobby with some other quick NW sp. It pays off trust me!

I'd personally go for the pulchra. Very rewarding sp to keep.

A sling that size may not have moved far. Trying checking any secluded spots/particularly dark that are within range
