    I'm trying to find some reputable tarantula breeder or vendors.

    I've done several orders from Jamie's Trantulas. All were shipped well and healthy. Jamie's also has a really good DOA policy which is always reassuring.

    Is my Nhandu Tripepii cold or adjusting to a new environment?

    I wouldn't be overly concerned with the temperature as long as it's within reason. My house gets as cold as 17 degrees Celsius at night and up to 23 degrees during the day this time of year.

    Engaging the ignorant: I learned my lesson

    Experiences with Aphonopelma eutylenum

    Thanks for all of the good advice both of you. I am planning to go with a subadult but will scale the enclosure accordingly if I end up going with a smaller sling.

    Experiences with Aphonopelma eutylenum

    Hello all I am currently making a short list of T's to help me select my first one. One species I have found myself drawn to is Aphonopelma eutylenum.
