You can find slings from almost every species what is common in the hobby. T's don't need much maintenance, so if you get one sling, the maintenance takes only 5 minutes (at max) every second-third day. Lasiodora parahybana is a good starter, it gets the biggest of all the beginner spiders...

I think that is roach-poo. :) If you give them a lot of fruit, it gets stickier. Their poo could dry out faster, just don't give them too much fruit or moist vegetables.

Yeah, crickets sucks. :vomit: And what about dubias? Are they illegal too?

Give them fruits/vegetables or water gel, and for protein, give them cheap dog/cat/chicken food. That's all.

Why would you give worms for the roaches? They won't kill it (I think), they are not predators, they are scavengers. Give them fruits/vegetables or water gel and cheap dog/cat food. It's more manageable to keep them separated. Although, I don't think they would hurt each other.

It's very simple. Don't handle it. ;)

Ah, damn... I don't want, but I have to ask for the sake of the spider... any ventilation?

How to kill the troll? Don't feed it. He won't change. He doesn't want to learn from the wiser, let him be with his own stupidity. He'll have to learn the hard way. P.S.: That's a cool avatar! :D

Well, I think it's a lady... but wait for the more experienced members to chime in. Edit: it is enough to post your pictures in one thread, don't spam the forum, please. ;)

For arid species (for example GBB or most Brachypelma) you can use sphagnum peat moss or plantation soil, just keep them bone dry with a water dish. You know, sand is coarse and rough and irritating - not the best for Ts. ;)

He was very lucky, he'd easily get bitten in the neck.

Yeah, sorry, I was confusing. I thought (I don't know why) OP's spiders are still little slings, and a bit moisture won't be a harm for them. I have a juvie GBB, I keep him on bone dry sub with a dish. ;)

Why did you give them moss? o_O These are arid species. Just moisten one side of the substrate a little bit, that's all.

As @EulersK said, not all ('most') tarantulas hates moss, it differs from specimen to specimen. For example, my Phormictopus sp. "green" put some into its hide from the back of his enclosure, while my A. geniculata really hated these things, and dropped them into its water dish, without mercy. :)

I really like your videos, man! First, the OBT, now this... :D Send us more gems like these! :)

:banghead:

Is your H. maculata still in that terrestrial setup? :meh: Lol! Nobody hates you, everybody just wanted to help. You got lots of great information, but you were so... "defensive". Think about it! Aaand now you want an OBT... Great! :joyful: Anyway, good luck, if you don't have any problems...

Phormictopus sp. blue, Phormictopus cautus (purple) and Phormingochilus sp. sabah blue (not completely blue).

Alright, thanks everyone for the help. :) @Deb60 Yeah, I have two, curious little things. :) When they grow up, a good sized plastic box is waiting for them.

That's cool, terrestrial setup for an arboreal...
