Hello folks. Just picked up a cute little Chilean Zebra at the pet store. I'm happy. Anyone know the best type of environment to keep it in? I assume its terrestrial, and I'd like to know how often to moisten the substrate? Eating habits? Attitude? Aggressive? Any advice or...

I have one that is about 5", and it is always out in the open, and very gentle. It is also the BEST eating T I've ever owned, and have had them since 1992. Her appetite is incredible. A very welcome addition to my collection. Highly recommended.

Nate, check out Wal-Mart. I worked at a local one, and, as you can imagine, they go through THOUSANDS of eggs. They just recycle the empty egg crates into a huge bundle with other cardboard, so they shouldn't have any problem with letting you have a few. If that doesn't work, ask the local...

Stan, I am VERY sorry for your loss. I truly enjoyed reading my 2 copies of The Tarantula Keepers Guide, which I consider the "Bible" on the subject of these incredible creatures. Take care, and the tarantula family truly lost a legend; gone but never forgotten!!!!

I received this as a Freebie today. I know next to nothing about the Grand Canyon Black. Can anyone help? Size? Temperment? Dry or moist substrate, or slightly moist substrate? Lifespan? Any advice or facts and tidbits would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks folks

Thanks Dave....I appreciate it..

Today I received an OBT as well as a Fort Hall Baboon, family Pterinoclus. Does anyone know their growth rates? I've never owned a T in this family, and don't know how fast I can expect them to grow? They are both less than 3 inches. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Have had T's since 1992. VERY addictive, and own 13 now, no room for more.....Absolutely love the hobby.

The LPS has a Singapore Blue for sale @ 85 bucks. It's only about 2". Is this a good price? Also, if anyone owns one, please give me some advice on how to keep it. Temp, humidity, size, substrate, etc....all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, and have a great weekend. :)

Golden Pompas Syndicate, thanks for the info.....Jason

LPS (40 miles away) told me when I called they had a Golden Pompas....anyone ever heard of it? I know how stores get creative with names to encourage sales.....I might check it out next week, but anyone who would know what species of T it is would be a great help....thanks....Jason:?

King Baboon I have a female KB which is almost full-grown. I don't mess with her, I know better, and she is VERY fast and quick. I keep her on the semi-mosit side, as I've read that they need some moisture and decent humidity. I don't know about the potency of their venom...they are VERY...

E Murinus Yes, they are harder to keep than most T's.....make sure it's PLENTY moist in the enclosure. Mine would rather run than fight, but I still give it plenty of respect. Like others, mine poops on the ceiling of it's enclosure. They are gorgeous, but mine is rarely out where I can see...

How long after a molt Give her a few more days. Juvenile T's tend to recover from a molt quicker than adults, so her age may be a factor. FYI I think it's cool you're from Goshen, I live very close to Angola....Jason

My silly Skeleton took it's little bottle cap that is used for water and drug it over to it's burrow.......

can of worms Ken, thanks for the vote of confidence....I appreciate it, and I NEVER thought you were implying that individual sellers are hurting the hobby.....I hope everyone else realizes this as well!! You are brining awareness to the hobby, and I learn quite a bit from your posts, so keep...

Pricing low to help the hobby I'm hardly new to T's...owned them since '92, but I only own 5-10 at a time. I currently have 8. I've bought from Petstores, On-line dealers, and individual sellers. I personally don't know if I'm "helping" or "hurting" the hobby, and I suspect that many folks...

Open the Box I also LOVE getting a new package with T's in there!!! Feel like a little kid at Christmas. The anticipation is a lot of the overall fun!!! Congrats on your new "kids" and I'm gonna order a new T or 2 really soon.....Jason

Kelly, I believe you run a GREAT biz, I've only bought from you a couple of times, and I've been VERY pleased. I'm a novice mostly, and only own 7 T's, but I believe guys like you make the hobby much more enjoyable!!! I have a pretty firm grasp of economics, and realize the work and sacrifice...

thanks folks, I appreciate the advice!!!!
