We have the big reliable dealers too.

That molt is about the size of my T. blondi. Im expecting him to molt soon.

Simply chop up the bigger ones into little pieces. Works for most people.

Look on the links page, they have a few good dealers in the UK. And if you ever want me to find a spider for you, just PM me. Certain spiders are very hard to find however, as some people tend to hoard all the rarer species. While america has the big pet dealers, they are sometimes over...

Subscribe to the BTS, then ask on the private forum. Someone will point you in the right direction. Thats the advantage in living in such a small country. It costs only £4 to send a spider, next day delivery anywhere in the UK. This makes people much more willing to do it.

Our old smithi was bald as a badger and the meanest thing on 8 legs. Used to scare the pants of us all.

A year to grow that big? Thats unbelievable. In fact, i can just see it happening. My T. Blondi near doubled in size last time he molted.

There are plenty of both spiders in Britain, all breeders co-ordiante their efforts very well through the BTS.

It was the first time ive ever seen her kick hair also. She is usually the most docile of the lot.

I used to have one years ago, i had no problems with it. Just remember to make sure it has plenty of ventilation. Stale air causes mold.

What a stud!

Personall preference i suppose, but i find plastic containers unsightly. And seeing as spiders are display animals, shouldnt you go all out?

A lot of people here dont use glass aquariums. They use large glass jars or plastic "tupperware tubs". I dont rate these too highly.

I never use tongs or tweezers, except to fight a dangerous spider. Im very stupid, in my family its considered unmanly to shy away from the spiders. so i touch them. even my T.Blondi and my P. Regalis. but none of us are stupid enough to hold them. I think i will get a pic of me poking the...

I brought a pre-killed pinkie for my adult female chilean rose toda, she wouldnt accept it. SO i took a razor blade and slit open its belly. Holding it in my fingers, i moved it towards her, about to drop it by her feet. When all of a sudden, she strikes! I drop the pinkie, and pull back...

My regalis has wasp markings, thats why i like him.
