Thank you so much for those pics. I’m thinking you meant cork like a notice board. I’m not a huge fan of how the backgrounds look and never really thought about changing em. Just put up with them, never realised there was an alternative. Very impressed, it looks miles more realistic. And WOW...

Thank you for such a detailed reply. I’ve shown my husband who is the T lover and it all made sense to him. We are a year into keeping Ts and all advice is appreciated.

Hi. Could you please post a pic. I’m imagining cork tiles that old people have on bathroom floors. I’m guessing you’re States based with the time that you posted and wondering if you mean that kind of cork. We don’t mind the look of the background but I’d love to go with a real live set up...

That is FANTASTIC advice. Thank you. I aren’t in a rush to remove it as it is a relatively new set up and don’t want to cause more stress by fiddling and prodding and poking.

We have a GBB, Chaco golden knee and a pink toe. All big fat spiders that are out all day. Fancied a pokie to add to them three so this is all new to us. Just don’t want it to be unhappy. Will leave it a few more weeks to settle before removing the background so as not to stress it out. And we...

This is or first Pokie and it’s got us a bit worried. Keep thinking it’s espcaped. Our other three are too big to get behind and out and proud all day every day. Will remove the background. Thank you very much for the reply

Hi. We’ve added a Poecilotheria regalis to our collection. We are housing it in a exoterra viv. It’s now hiding behind the decorative background. Should we be concerned? We’ve had it for about a week. We don’t handle any of our T’s so it’s been left to settle but a bit concerned with this one...

We were quiet eager to have them to look at and wrongly thought slings would be for more experienced keepers. We have them on display in our sitting room and enjoy looking at them and freaking guests out. When we got em my husband said he'd need more. I said I didn't think so. I'm now trying to...

Our GBB is immense. Love feeding him. Getting him was what made me take a keen interest in T's. He is our Walter to our Jessie/Jesse. I call em boy/girl but seriously have no clue. Beginning to realise now if they are boys they will be with us a short time. I've just 'informed' my husband of...

Our pet shop where we buy our T's from won't even sell us an OBT as we have only been keeping them for a year. Even I know this is one hell of a misguided post. Loved reading all the replies. Grade A troll there. Never posted anything before and an address suggests it is fake though. Going to...

Of course I will. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Once I have some more pics I'll post them here. Thank you.

W Many thanks. Will read the forums on how to sex a T and have a look at its last moult. Fingers crossed he is a she.

Hi I have never given it any thought to sex him/her I refer to him as a boy as he's my favourite boy. As I've been reading stuff on here I'm realising that yeah if he is a he we might not have him for that long <sad face>

We recently stayed at this zoo in Spain We find when visiting zoos and farms that the reptile and spider bits are a bit of an afterthought and just there to try freak people out who don't like that kind of thing. Well. Not at Terra Natura. We were blown away with their spider exhibits. As a...

I do not believe it is a sling. Please forgive my ignorance. They're my husbands hobby and I have just kinda fallen in love with them too. I aren't that clued up. We've had her a year and believe she/he was a juvenile when we got her/him. It's called Jessie Webby Sit (the child named it) so will...

Hi Relatively new around here so We got a GBB as our second T. Absolutely stunning to look at. Always out on display. The webs are AMAZING. He is my favourite. He's very active and eats so well. He's a real spectacle. We bought an adult and he is a great size as we wanted something big and...

Thank you. She is a cutie (we call her a she but not sure) I'm going to try her with a worm rather than a cricket this week and see if she fancies that. Compared to our other two,a green bottle blue and a pink toe who demolish all their feeds, we have been worried. All the kind and positive...

I appreciate all the advice you've given and you've certainly put my mind at rest. Thank you all.

I have thought that. When she has come out from the hide she looks bigger and fresh. Can't find the shed though. Could she of buried it? We don't like to disturb her too much. She molted the day we got her in august last year. We are relatively new to keeping T's and this is our first year. I...

Yeah. Always topping up the water dish. In November when it took to its hide we moved the tank to the opposite side of the room near to a radiator as it was next to an outside wall and window so we thought with the drop in temp it could of affected it. Just seeing how slim it's abdomen is is...
