    Curiosity Killed The Connor.

    My first OBT, and not what you'd think. Local classified add had three unnamed Ts with no pics. I had finally convinced my gf (now wife) to let me get one, we were going to go and pick one out. We get there and its a pretty horrid sight. A G. porteri in ok conditions, an A. seemani in dirt and...

    T safe ways to discourage bugs from coming in the house

    Thanks folks. I wanted to encourage as many true spiders as possible to congregate but the wife still has a mild arachnophobia (way less since we got our tarantulas though) New screen doors and some baking powder should be enough to keep her happy. Thanks again

    T safe ways to discourage bugs from coming in the house

    Nothing in particular, just trying to keep most of them out. We are just north of SLC Utah so we don't have anything really nasty.

    T safe ways to discourage bugs from coming in the house

    My wife and I are in the process of moving into our new house, it has lots of plant growth really close to the first floor doors and we need something safe for our tarantulas, snakes, etc.. to try to keep non pet insects outside. The animals are kept upstairs but I really don't want to spray and...

    How screwed am I? (chemical exposure)

    Been a auto painter for 12 years, I can say that even a tiny amount of body filler dust will stink up a place for days but that should not kill your critters. Spiders of all kinds live in my shop year round including a few widows that have been there for years. The amount of crap they are around...

    What made you buy your first T, and what was your first?

    I have been obsessed with spiders my whole life. When I was 10 I found my first pet, a black widow I found in the window well of my house. Kept it for about four months until my mom found it and FREAKED OUT. I now have three of those at work and nine tarantulas at home. First Ts were a P...

    One of my hogs makes choo-choo hisses while winding his way through my fingers. He'll do that for like an hour before he gets bored. Great sneks

    Spouse/S.O. Approval

    My old lady used to hate them, now she doesn't quite love them like I do but she does talk to them in the same voice she talks to our dog in and every time I show her a species I like she says I should get it. I think she likes them more than she is willing to admit.

    All Tarantulas Can and Will Bite

    I have the complete opposite so far. I have an OBT that is a saint, has been for the three molts I've had her for. She barely moves when i pull out her water dish to clean it when she is right next to it. Just waiting for the day when she remembers what she is supposed to be

    We have 3 hedgehogs (was two but one came to us preggo). Two are very well behaved but one is plain old mean. He never looks happier then Pippin here even while eating mealworms
