My first T is a Chaco Golden Knee or what ever they decide scientifically to call them. She is totally docile, not the slightest bit shy, has an amazing appetite and has never offered to kick hairs. I tried to breed her after a recent molt, but the male had zero interest in her. She was...

Try looking for "Carlsbad green", an Aphonopelma variety from southeastern New Mexico, thus Carlsbad....

I am glad to have read this thread. I have a curlyhair that is an assertive, evil, ill tempered critter at the least. My local T enthusiasts swear that curlyhairs are the sweetest, docile, possibly zen of all. I find that, a crock! I am not one to handle my spiders, so fear of a bite is kept at...

Tarantula Keepers Guide I bought the book before I acquired my first T; did not put it down till the last page. (in excess of 380) I found it very informative; I take the approach that it is a good resource, but not necessarily the Tranatula bible. The Schultz's long experience with the...

I have a Chaco golden knee that named herself, Dozer. She rearranges her enclosure regularly; collecting the fiber part of the coconut coir I use as subsrtate, then proceeds to push it all into one corner (like a bull"dozer"). Then backs up to peruse her work and proceeds to pull it all out of...

Learn all you can, before the plunge A plethora of advice, from multiple viewpoints; I have but one thing to add. Learn all you can about the person you choose to share your life. Humans are capable of change, ONLY if they want to, otherwise, what you may not see is what you get. Then the...

I am new to the hobby (just 5 Ts, so far), but I am wondering, with all these egg sacs, from all these species, ranging from hundreds to thousands. Does anyone ever produce an albino tarantula? I would think an albino would be spectacular.

New to the T addiction, new to this site... Basically arachnophobic my entire life until now; I started to educate myself on the subject of tarantulas. With the encouragement of a spider lady that got over her fear of those eight legged wonders. She provided me an excellent spider. I have my...
