When I started and had a few slings. I was at the mercy of Petsmart. I would buy some small crickets and pre-kill them If they didn't have small crickets. I'd have to buy some large ones and just rip off a leg and give them the drum stick. If they didn't have crickets, which was often. I had to...
Its not that expensive. I know how to set up drainage layers and everything. I used JF ABG mix when I had dart frogs. Dart frogs just arent for me. After 6 months of making fruit fly colonies every week I was over it. I just wanted make sure it was fine for tarantulas too.
I had a tough time with the H. incie too. I had a few of them and they all grew well and then 1 by 1 all passed away. I think it was all on the 3rd molt. They where freebies, but still sucked. My GBB just matured out.

I live in S. Georgia. EVERYONE here is afraid of spiders and thinks something is wrong with. There biggest fear is a hurricane coming and leveling my house and having a tarantula epidemic in GA.
But thanks for the info. I guess I'll hang out in questions and answers for awhile.
I've been doing great with all my tarantulas. I'm right around 50ish and they are all doing great! Unfortunately I might be looking to exit the hobby for awhile. I need to sell my house and Its not going to make things easy with a room full of tarantulas and a bin of cockroaches. How many posts...
