The very best think anyone can do for a tarantula is to research the natural habitat they come from and mimic it as best as possible. The TKG argues against natural setups, for reasons that have no basis in science whatsoever, but cleanliness is not a trait you have to consider very often when...
Besides the obvious problems of having worked with predominantly wild caught animals for as many years as the author has, thus lumping everything we keep into three or four categories (what was it, Arid, tropical, swamp dwellers? Something like that) despite many varying care requirements and...
I'll have to check that out. I've just been not really feeling the photography thing anymore. It shows in my pictures, too. I don't really care. I do need a new lens, but I'm hesitant to buy one if the passion isn't returning. I was happy to get the shot of the little Pseudhapalopus though...
Its been like a year.
I probably have a ton of things to put here, but I've lost the photos in the hodgepodge of broken computers and life. I took these a couple nights ago, though.

Here's a couple of my guys, some are new since the last time I posted here.
I also got a C. gracilis that I gave too awesome of an enclosure and he refuses to show himself. So no pictures of that guy. But man is he gorgeous. Pictures don't do them justice. They really are the most...
More spideys.
G. rosea spiderling, picking up some color but..no size, really.

Its been a while, and these are nothing special really, but I've had a few new molts and done some rehousing.
Here's a couple awkward photos of my N. tripepii (90% sure he's male via molt, but we'll check again next time). I realize I haven't ever taken a clear shot of him.

After a molt, spiders tend to go into all sorts of odd poses. Some of them can look like death curls but aren't. Your Avic is probably just fine. :) no worries!
Yup, here it is: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?139580-Holothele-incei&highlight=incei+lifespan
Granted that doesn't mean there's not another species that grows up and dies even quicker. Just not one that I've specifically heard of.
Great little guys though. I think I might...
Granted this is purely speculative based on information i've collected and stored away over the years, and I have by no means raised every single species of tarantula to adulthood so this is not scientific fact - however, I have read that Holothele incei are quite short lived, both the males and...
I don't think there's a set rulebook for temperament of ANY species. I know that is probably generally correct, but certainly not always. I've had plenty of NW terrestrials that would rather slap and bite than kick or run. But that was usually during rehousings. If I were to open the lid on...
MM B. albo. STILL NEEDS A DATE.
N. tripepii juvenile, suspect male, hates me.
Selenocosmia peerboomi, widdle tiny angry bebe, d'awwww

I hate the new Flickr with a burning...
I totally disagree with whoever said balfouri are only "tolerant" of each other. The mothers actually nurture their young, the adults will share burrows, not just set up burrows next to each other while luckily not cannibalizing. From everything I know from the folks and friends who breed them...
Hmm. A lot to say there..but first, while I can't totally tell, it seems like that jar might be too small for your B. albopilosum. Also, as slings, most will tend to burrow (except your Avic of course), so you may want to give them more substrate. I dont' typically give water dishes to...
